“Palin is arriving to endorse Trump. You heard it here first,” one user, springwater13, declared, linking to a website that tracked the Iowa-bound flight.

I remember when I scooped Matt Drudge’s story on the blue dress.

He would pre-stage his articles at a specific URL, so I just grabbed an early copy of it and posted it on FR.

Most here were calling me a fake and phoney. But then when he released the story it was very similar to the one I posted. And after that Matt Drudge changed the way he releases articles :-)

Your link doesn’t specify FR. There are other conservative forums...

I haven’t heard the term “Chat Room” in a long time.

WE DO **NOT** NEED THE MSM.

WE are doing a better job than them —FOR FREE.

And we have been doing that FOR YEARS.

We had TONS of experts about the Monica Mess, and we were a FIREBALL of debate out the scandal’s TINIEST points for over A HALF YEAR before the MSM reported about it.

WE **LIKE** OUR PJ’s AND BASEMENTS AND WE DO NOT NEED THEM.

Congrats to FR! Breaking news again.

I was on that post with the flight info. Didn’t comment, though. Cruz people were mocking the poster. What else is new?

I just googled it:

To go to Columbia’s School of Journalist for ONE year costs $84,000...!!!

That would be the most STUPID decision in the world —getting a degree in journalism.

We’re doing their jobs for free and we paid NOTHING to get qualified to do that.

Did someone ping JR? He deserves credit for the premier conservative forum, FR.

Let's start a list, stories that broke first on FR, we all know about FReeper Buckhead putting Dan Rather and Mary Mapes to pasture over "Fake but accurate" so we'll start the list there:

FReeper Buckhead - typewriter font too new for CBS Bush ANG letter.

This is a coup on a par with the Dan Rather bust.

You Betcha! Congrats springwater13!!! I was there.

Told the whole workroom, (14 people), first thing Tuesday morning. A lot of excited chatter took place. One fool lamented "Oh great, dumb and dumber". He's from Staten anyway so he got a few laughs. Yesterday morning it was all over the news and my boss asks out loud "where did you hear that before the news did?". Said the FreeRepublic. We are the news. :-)
