I doubt it, and judging by the fact that you decided to immediately make something up about me (I don’t watch talking heads on TV), I’m probably closer to the mark than you let on.

FR is a great pointer to current or pending conservative topics. It’s not a news source. It’s a news repeater of topics that are of particular interest to certain segments of the conservative population.

No need to reply, because I’m skeptical from somebody that claims FR as their one and only news source. Particularly when they’re prone to making something up right away to defend themselves.

I had the occasion to listen to NPR for an hour this past week. I could barely hide my smiles from my gracious host (the driver of my carpool).

The stories, in rough CONSECUTIVE order (as I recall):

1. Immigration advocates stand up for unfortunate children of illegals.
2. Tea Party Republicans continue to hurt Republicans.
3. Obamacare is staged to help those on the outer fringe of society.
4. Taxes really aren't hurting wealthy people.
5. Mandela was effectively a Saint.

What freaking “news” value am I supposed to get from that piece of c—p? The women and men talk in such kind, conversational, tones that make everything they say sound like it must be true.

I believe we need to have a variety of sources for our information, but, honestly, Free Republic already pulls those together perfectly well.

By the way, I don't think, contrary to what you said in an earlier post, that FReepers think all cops are bad in any more consistent a way as the rest of us are.
