Is this breaking news?

Nope, don't think so...sidebar moderator???lol

Jim Robinson - what can I say - FreeRepublic is the best thing to come along since sliced bread (it's late, that the best I can do.) But, I was following the threads that were posted this evening that may have prompted your thread and have a suggestion: In this very sensitive time we are all enduring, perhaps only "breaking news" that can be verified through a journalistic source should be posted?

Although it can be exciting to hear of incidents such as tonight's at the Phoenix airport as they unfold, and undoubtedly Marine Inspector was caught up in the "heat of the moment" and may not have used the best judgment, perhaps, for the time being, FReepers should be notified (by you and the staff) that these types of posts will be pulled. I have read some of the "loose lips sink ships" threads and don't recall this particular issue being addressed. If it has and I missed it, just ignore this post and have a great evening!

You already know what I think of FR and you (((smooch))). But lately I miss a bunch of replies because I read the first fifty responses and it seems easier to go back to a new thread than to load the next 50 replies. I used to read all the way down just because it was there. Oh well, maybe I save time now. I would also like for the monitor to give a reason for pulling thread or reply. I sort of miss the old "free-wheeling" mess that was Free Republic. You just dove in and took your chances.

There is nothing worse than

Breaking News

FOX is reporting blah, blah, blah.....

More to follow....

There is no information and mostly it is rumor or conjecture.
