BTW, an AMAZING job putting together the facts, and in showing damages by the false reports on behalf of the Sun.

Well done and well worth the time and effort you put into composing it, clearly much more of both than the “professionals” did.
Thank you!
Good grief. Just about any post I read debunked that idiotic theory. No good deed as they say ...
Bump
Looks like Freddie also used the aliases:
Freddy Gray and Eric Ray
according to the Court cases.
The leftists love to play these little games. Some version of reverse psychology agit-prop. Internet rumors found on some blog designed especially to obscure the truth. A diversionary tactic.
Remember the pictures of Trayvon shooting the finger? Well it wasn’t Trayvon. Remember the pictures of a bloody beaten Darren Wilson? Well it wasn’t Darren Wilson?
Disinformation is everywhere. But one thing is clear. This confuse and divide crap starts at the top. No one is better at lying and deceiving than one B. Hussein Obama. He, Holder, Sharpton and the media have lied and misled beginning in Sanford. Then on to Ferguson, NYC and now Baltimore.
They use these stories as an “Oh look, a squirrel” gimmick as they continue to inflame and incite racial hatred and violence.
kristinn, thanks for setting the record straight.
Thanks also for still being the FR media contact all these years. You have been a wonderful one.
5 bashes for a buck!!
Anything to get fireworks going off here .. And soon!!!
Thanks for the info!!!
FR does not “write articles”; it is a discussion forum.
People post articles from other sources as they wish, and may or may not post them as serious or not.
Context, always context.
They sure have their panties in a twist this week. A NYT reporter contacted me this week to ask how he had been erroneously included in the list of JournoList members that I published here five years ago.
I told him that I had no idea because it had been FIVE years but that I would absolutely research it and remove his name if it was an error. He proceeded to hurl insults about shoddy research and said that lapsed time was no excuse, etc.
I told him I would remove his name based solely on his word because I had done so with two others who contacted me back then. After I told him that, he still demanded that I correct it immediately because it had been in error long enough and “people are searching” now for information sourced to me at FR.
Finally, he tells me that someone confused “Bob Mackey” (who was on JournoList) with “Robert Mackey.” Then he said I didn’t fact-check anything. I guess the list of sources I included with the list doesn’t count. I told him I didn’t know who made the mistake, but I would look into it. Jim kindly edited the J-list thread for me. All happened in less than 24 hours.
So, when there is a legitimate mistake. We correct it ASAP. Can’t say the same for them.
Regressives lie. All The Time.
WOW! Pretty stunning how they attempted to discredit FR once again...the media any more is all about pointing fingers and it really matters not to them who they blame as long as they have a story to run with...sheesh!
Taxman Bravo Zulu! Kristinn!
Well done!
Nice work Kristinn - thanks for setting the record straight.
This lie about free republic is still going around the liberal websites. From the crooks and liars website:
“Here’s another Stupid Internet Rumor flying around, probably started by some putz over at StormFront.org or something. Oops, no! It was from Free Republic,”

Oops, no it wasn’t! Sorry crooks and liars.
Wow, kristinn. You’ve done some painstaking research and writing on this - thanks!
The “sun of the truth” long ago set on the Baltimore Sun, which I read for decades when I lived there and then at college.
In fact, one of their leading Vietnam War correspondents, Arnold “Skip” Isaacs (author of a large book on the war), told a Hanoi Lobby conference audience today that he “was an anti-war correspondent before I became a war correspondent.”
SO MUCH FOR OBJECTIVE REPORTING.
Personal disclosure: I was a MACV-accredited correspondent for “Human Events” weekly, a conservative newspaper in DC, and often had letters published in the old Baltimore Sun before leftist John Carroll and some woman whose name I have forgotten, took it over and turned it into a leftist rag.
I also wrote about Vietnam and many other subjects as a reporter for the “NW Star”, Baltimore/Pikesville, Md (a suburb of NW Baltimore) for over a decade.
Looks like Arnold let his “bias cat” out of the bag. Unfortunately it was 40 years too late.
Just thought Balto Sun (BS) readers would like to know about one of its correspondents, who is now a hardcore leftist, esp. if they read his book on Vietnam.
