Of course, this isn't a scientific poll =)

[RetiredArmy]

Voted. Bump.

[KsSunflower]

You betcha'!! Freepers are everywhere! We not only get news, we get commentary with humor even in the darkest of circumstances!

Besides, where else will you get the Hillary Ol' Crusty update whenever she makes an appearance? On Demoncratic Underground? I think not!

[Nita Nupress]

Cool.

(Off topic: For anyone pinging me... My self-search isn't working again. I'm not just ignoring you.)

[Seeking the truth]

This is not a Freep. It is merely truth telling!

[The Truth Will Make You Free]

Interesting. If you visit WorldNetDaily they regularly claim that they're the #1 website. Funny that they aren't even mentioned.

[Imal]

Not only is the FR stat interesting, but the prominence of Fox News is certainly worthy of note.

Imal

P.S. Yeah, I voted for FR, too. :o)

[lexington minuteman 1775]

of course its scientific i voted in it.<\ sarcasm>And it does show the power of freeping.So liberals be aware!

[Rubber Duckie]

Methinks this poll got Freeped!

[Nita Nupress]

Ummm... Can someone go here and tell me if it's showing the "To: Nita Nupress" hits for you? Thank you. Don't want to distract from the thread, but I need to know if it's FR or my computer before I reboot.

When there is breaking news I go for FreeRp. I don't always trust what I read but I get a leg up on what going on.

The main stream media is headed for concrete wall as far as I can tell. The days of posting a Peter J. or a Dan R. on the air and telling people what they ought to think are over. People now days are sifting though the sources and making up their minds. Any one who depends on a single outlet is likely to be misinformed.

Looks like Drudge will have to put FR's link back up, if he wants to remain credible.

[Grampa Dave]

Free Republic is up to 59%

Which news source do you most trust?

FoxNews (355) 27%

CNN (44) 3%

ABC, NBC or CBS (64) 4%

Drudge Report (internet news site) (40) 3%

Free Republic (Internet news forum) (775) 59%

None of the above (27) 2%

Total Votes: 1305

Maybe this is why we surpassed our quarterly Freepathon Goals in just a few days! The good freepers realize that the best place for real news in on www.freerepublic.com

A prime example would be the great photo journalism that Diogenesis has posted on a regular basis on Free Republic. His photo "essays" have been incredible! Total Votes: 1305

[Viet Vet in Augusta GA]

Punched FR, no hanging chad.

[Romulus]

I think it's a mistake to promote any idea of FR as a news source. This merely encourages complaints of the sort we're currently enduring from the LA Times and Washington Post. What we do with the news is more about analysis and commentary. You could not go to any mainstream news organization's website and hope to see the same content we see here.

[spald]

Vote and bttt. Thanks Diogenesis for the post.

[Gimlet]

That has to be nonsense. Fox can be fun but it is hardly the best source for news even - or I would say especially - news serious conservatives. Would we prefer to write our own news?

[jojonomo55]

How did CNN get more votes than drudge?

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Just the facts. Of course we're trustworthy, we demand accountability. (^:

Freepers vote only once, unlike Urban Dems.
Lookee here, over 59% voted for FR before Diogenesis put up this thread.
