Probably not joking. I got quoted in a newspaper article not long ago because I had noted in a FR post that the St. Petersburg Times was the St. Petersburg Pravda. Who'd a thunk those liberal journalists were lurking on FR, LOL.

Yup. My point was that the liberal media will look for the most inflammatory or atypical post to paint FR with a broad brush. If a 1,000 post thread about terrorist attacks has one post saying 'Nuke Mecca!', chances are that's the one they'll quote. Only a real Freeper knows what FR is really like. My liberal sister in California mentioned hearing about the forum. She said, with barely concealed disdain, "I hear they call themselves 'Freepers'". I didn't bother explaining it.
