To be fair, what appears on FR are stories from other sources and our own opinions. I can't honestly say I "trust" FR as a source. It doesn't make sense. It is the primary source I use to lead me to news, but it isn't the source of that news.

Do you think that Fox "develops" its own news? Or is it simply doing exactly what is done on FR..searching out news from other sources (like the AP) and then rewriting it ..then posting it.

They do not have "on the scene" reporters..actually FR is MORE reliable because you really can get an examination of most topics here

Any of the Potomac River parks are good for the eagles. Leesylvania has had one or two nesting pairs on nearby land for more than a decade now. Very impressive birds! My greatest thrill with them was in a canoe when one flew overhead low enough for me to feel the spray off his wings. Then there was the time I watched one fight an osprey in mid-air to keep a fish he'd caught.

Nearly all news services reprint AP stories, that's what AP is for. But Fox, like CNN or CBS, certainly does write its own news too. They do have reporters to gather and write news. They are a source. It is appropriate to rate trust in them as a source.

I'm not disparaging FR, I'm just saying it isn't in that category. FR excels at being a place to keep up with everything going on at many sources, but the only content that is sourced here is our commentary, and I don't "trust" that.

Great thread you got going there, KLT...here's my Holiday Greetings to Hillary...

Merry Christmas, Ms. HildaBeast!!

As you know full well, I'm on a "Jihad Fer Justice" that will ultimately lead to the Re-Impeachment, Conviction, Dethronement, Disbarment, De-Pensioning, De-Legitimization, Indictment, Conviction, and Life Imprisonment of your Life-Partner in Crime, the EX-Rapist-in-Chief (BTW...did he ever RAPE YOU?!), William Jefferson Blythe Clinton!! Just so you know, I'm fully behind your being nominated as the DemonRAT Candidate for President of the United States in either '04, '08, '12, '16, or '20. I really think you are a special woman and would make a great DemonRAT candidate!! Plus, I miss seeing that sexy daughter of yers and Ol' Hubbell and we need a few more pics of her wonderful smile in the Medyuh!! So you keep on doing all the great things you do and give me a holler if I can do anything to assist in getting you nominated by the DemonRAT National Committee!!

Yer FRiend...Mudboy Slim
freerepublic.com

BTW...please tell Terry McAuliffe that SlixMYb!+c# and if T-Mac simply confesses fully to what he knows about yer hubby's criminality, I will call off the dogs and let him live his life unfettered by MUD!!!"

Don't you just love FReepin'?!!

I do...MUD
