Just a question if I may. Do you only read WND articles?
The reason I ask is that it is all you seem to post. If many of us wanted to read what WND had to say we would go there, but many of us on FR don’t put a lot of faith in their writings.
Just so you know.
This article has a link to the New York Post article about no community programs.
I’m asking because this specific poster has been posting, or should I say reposting, WND articles on FR a lot over the past few weeks.
If those who believe in WND wanted to read the articles we could go there and do so without them being reposted here.
Using that logic, FR would be comprised solely of vanity posts.
Funny how alleged conservatives would use a tried and true Saul Alinsky tactic of attacking the poster for their source (WND) rather that debate this topic.
Tear the topic to shreds if you have the facts but the source is not the topic.
This is all too DU like.
Doubtful. But posting from a source that has very little credibility doesn’t help our cause. Sure they have a few sprinklings of factual articles from time to time, but they have gotten to into the UFO/bigfoot types of stories and stuff just like the National Inquirer.
It’s best not to overload FR with such pap. Not with so many more reputable sources to use.
So because some posters disbelieve a joke like WND we lose our “conservative” credentials? What a joke.
If you wish to believe in WND then feel free. I just don’t believe in their sources or stories.
I used to be a huge fan/reader of WND, but they have slipped off the credibility cliff and are no more believable than Alex Jones and Infowars.
Then, when you see "WND" under the date and time of the header, don't click.
I usually don’t, but FR is starting to get so many WND links on it that you’d think it was WND part 2.
If you believe that WND is a representative of conservative ideas or values then you are ready to buy a bridge I am selling in Jersey.
Seems those who dismiss anything WND out of hand are the posting police but I am not surprised at the projection.
By the way, unless someone posts a WND article on FR I never go there. If I am interested by a FR poster in a WND article I check it out and attempt to verify via other sources.
So just who are the posting police, those who dismiss anything based on the source, or those who would rather be willing to debate the content.
The method to dismiss, defuse, deflect debate by attacking the source is 100% Saul Alyinski.
If you read the small print, it is the former. That is why I ALWAYS post that image as a reply to the FReeper being chastised by the SAPP.
OK, thanks for telling me how it works.
PS....please leave a list of sources that YOU feel are OK to post threads from so that you aren't encumbered by irrelevance.
Gotcha! I stand corrected.
Well actually I am sitting.
No problemo.
It doesn’t help when disreputable sources are used. That’s all I’m saying. It only harms the integrity of the news posted here if it’s done.
If you don’t mind giving ammo to the liberals who scan our site then so be it.
There are so many more reputable sites to link to for news without hurting ourselves.
That could be said of Fox, Yahoo, Drudge, etc... that’s what I love about FR. That it’s my one stop shop of news articles and don’t have to surf the whole net.
