How does an article get into breaking news, clue me in. I’ve never put any article in breaking news, but some end up there.
This particular article was from CNN. So it was chopped to 300 words as an excerpt. Few will read the rest, we know.
Roos, Disagree all you want, that is why we’re here for discussion. Are you the one that had the Texas Republican Convention thread pulled?
It is a rude assault on conservatism when half the Texas delegation walks out before Jeff Sessions speaks. We should be discussing that right here on FR. And the thread was very civil in comparison to what has been here in the past.
The purpose of the quadrennial convention was to deal with the POTUS nomination, not to ‘snub’ the winner and not to ignore the need for ‘party unification.’ Again, that behavior and direction deserves FR critique.
An article gets into breaking by tagging the Breaking News button in the posting form. An admin mod can also move an article there, or of course, remove one.
I did not ask for the article to be removed. Many have been removed lately because of Trump/Cruz disagreements; flamewars. I read that article, I don’t recall anywhere in it that told an actual number of delegates that left. Why do you say it was half? Are you assuming or did I miss it in the article?
I guess Texans don’t like womanizing alphas so much. who knows?
It is possible to directly post an article to such an area, but it should not be abused. It’s best to have someone else post your thread there, which it sounds like has already happened.
In the posting area, you can choose “breaking” or “front page,” but you can also do it with the Topics area, afterward.
