I think the news we see here on FR is too vital to the future of this country to keep it to ourselves. I see articles and comments and emails that the old media would not like the general public to know about.
Emails from soldiers in Iraq & Afghanistan tell a different story of the progress we are making. That doesnt fit the agenda of the old media so the majority of Americans arent getting a true picture of what is really going on.
How many times have you seen a pic or an article here that you wish so much that the mainstream media would show? Its time to stop wishing and do something about it.
This is such a great source of news and info-we need to publicize it. Drudge is getting millions of hits a day and he doesnt have the cutting edge that we have here.
Anyone out there who is in the biz of promoting websites? I think our site is just too good to keep to ourselves any longer.
Admin, if y'all come up with a plan to promote this site and submit an ad budget to us, I bet the majority of us would support this.
They don't trust me with pens or pencils in this institution.
The keyboard is mightier than the sword.
I wish FR would be as widely viewed as possible. The news on this site is what the old media just wont let out to the general public. They dont talk about the good we are doing in Iraq-just the bad. Likewise with Bush, the economy, you name it. If I didnt see it here and had to rely on CNN, I would think the world was ending.
Wow. The search took place under the NEWS hierarchy. Since when is DU news? The effect is that something published at DU yesterday got picked up in the much-more-immediate Google spidering than if it were a website or a blog. For non-news sources, it can take a week to show up on Google, if ever.
I wonder how DU got such a designation...
