This is a fantastic site.

Also, I like the idea of the media using ideas presented here for their stories.

However, I believe that they should clearly and explicitly credit FreeRepublic.com when they lift ideas from this site.

Why? Well, how many new members and donors does this site lose out on because the audience of Fox - for example - never realizes that a piece they're seeing is based on content that first appeared on FreeRepublic.com?

They're too afraid to. If everybody was on FR, they'd be out of a job.
