Newsmax doesn't care. They aren't real news. It's just a bunch of guys who watch TV and listen to the radio.

It's too late, the photo is out there and FR didn't get any credit. It's a shame. Corbis has the rights and could have relabled it by now, but on Saturday Corbis did not know that Kerry was in the photo.

Now I was going to go down to the Detroit News and Library archives and find a photo of Kerry and Fonda at a Detroit rally, but it's going to take me at last a day if not a week, and honestly, why should I do all that work if we aren't going to get any credit. I don't want credit for me, but attribution to the site would be ethical.

hmmmm, I wonder if the photo can somehow be linked to Free Republic, and if they want to copy it, they have to get permission from FR, or Jim. I hope you don't stop your research, you do good work.

To let them know. To let everyone know.

All this carping about FR getting credit is a little silly. Did FR take the photo? Does FR own the photo? I presume not, since it is attributed to "Corbis" which is a professional photography service.

Some Freeper -- I presume it's you, HLL, whom I've long admired here -- has done a great service for Bush's cause and for the news business for creatively and smartly Googling and coming up with this gem of a photo. So perhaps FR deserves a smidgen of credit for finding the photo, but since it does not own the photo, true and full credit goes to Corbis for taking and owning the photo.

Frankly, I suspect the slight to FR was not intentional on the part of The Washington Times. That paper has mentioned FR in the past, and will doubtless do so again. It was probably only made aware of the Kerry/Fonda photo through Newsmax, which advertises heavily on its website. Freepers everywhere should be proud that, even if the glory spotlight is not currently shining on this site, Free Republic in this instance is having a MAJOR impact on the election.

Whining over "credit" does not become us.
