The other side?
Every single network, late show, magazine, newspaper and radio show is non stop with this “Trump is melting” narrative. It’s really getting tiresome. I wind up muting every show except Hannity, Lou Dobbs and a few others that think for themselves.
FR is the ONLY place where I can hope to get a break from it, and believe me when I come here I do not need you to show me what “the other side” is saying. The other side is all I hear.
I think it’s a legitimate question to ask what motivates people to re post this propaganda on FR. “Staying abreast of what the other side is saying” or “keep your enemies closer” - these explanations seem like a BS to me.
Call me a snowflake if you like, but I don’t see anything the least bit newsworthy, interesting or helpful in these regurgitative posts of what the MSM is pushing.
I do sense an element of schadenfreude in a lot of these “Trump is losing” posts here on FR. Maybe it’s butt hurt Cruz supporters still looking for opportunities to say “I told you so”.
But if you sincerely want to hear what the other side is saying then just turn on any station, any show, any host, any article, any commentator, any panelist, anywhere.
Me too. But I still think there's a place for this stuff here, because it IS what's out there.
And if somebody doesn't care to read it, and I ofteh don't -- or perhaps just skim it-- then they should just not click on it.
One reason why I do click on these articles, when I do, is that I'm hoping that some Freepers will have intelligent responses -- new info or ways to debunk them.
What I find tedious is the constant attacking of the posters, calling them concern trolls and such.
Maybe they are concerned, and disturbed by what they read an hear out there, and they're looking for some positive Freeper responses to lift their spirits, because it does get depressing hearing all this stuff, and hearing Hillary's lies.
To me, attacking the poster and arguing that a NYT (or some other lefty source) articles shouldn't be posted seems like denial that really concerns me. I remember too well the denial about all the polls in 2012, when we were all convinced that Romney would win.
