A site read by thousands, from the ordinary citizen to the highly placed powers in Washington, needs to be reliable. Otherwise, they go somewhere else for information. People expect instantaneous results in communication nowadays. The day of writing a letter and waiting two weeks for a reply is over....at least until we have a cyber war.
IFR needs someone available 24/7. There are to many other sources of information for the impatient...Drudge, Lucianne, PJ Media, Breitbart, etc.
I am not knocking FR. I want to click on it and BINGO, there it is.
