FYI
Excellent Idea!

WOW! Bump this. I was lucky that JR allowed one of my articles to be published in breaking news. Now I can write some more. This is fantastic! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Woo! Hoo!
Not sure if this would have qualified for the new category. (It was linked all over the Net at the time.) It wasn’t an editorial. It was more like investigative reporting. Thoughts?

Powder..patch..ball FIRE!
EXCELLENT! Yeah I was yelling...
Here’s a point you may want to consider: the old media is unlikely to publish FR-produced content, so its influence will be largely determined by the extent to it is picked up by other conservative blogs. Unfortunately, FR has earned a reputation for being extremely hostile to the bloggers who post here - especially those who excerpt their articles, something that virtually all other media sources require.
It won’t immediately eliminate the problem, but an official moratorium on greeting external bloggers with contempt and ridicule would be a useful start.
Interesting Times
I love the idea.
Can we continue to use our Freeper labels or do we have to post investigative journalism with a real name attached?
I have always been very protective of cyber privacy concerns.
I also think the first person account part is critical. That doesn’t mean the person can’t have opinions about what he or she has heard/seen/done, but the facts come first. Thanks for that. It is right on the money.
Ahhh I would love a news video report by freerepublic..highlighting current news, interests and the conservative view point from the common man!!!!!!
AM, thank you for documenting how this will be done, and what the guidelines are.
Laz, take a bow—you pioneered this concept.
All—we need to get the pro-America and pro-Constitutional message out whichever way possible in the next five months until Election Day.
If Obama wins, it will not matter after that.
The battle is not just political, but it is spiritual in nature as well.
Pray for our country, that the heavenly protection we have enjoyed for 236 years is not withdrawn. God is just, but He is merciful, and we need His mercy right now.
