Sometimes people (and sources) go out of their way to hide their bias. Personally, I usually like to let people know my bias, right off the bat - and that’s why I say what I do on my Freeper page.

When you find people working very hard to hide what their bias is, you know right away that they’re trying to trick you on something else,

Fascinating. Makes me sound a little snarky, I have to say.

Overall, I'd say the article is pretty neutral. I have a few minor quibbles but nothing serious.

I'm surprised the article left out some FR firsts where we've beaten the press on getting a story out.

The most memorable of these for me was the destruction of the Space Shuttle Columbia as it burned to a crisp while flying over California to Dallas. More here Reporting on the trouble starts here.

Conservapedia is a joke, and a pretty bad one at that.

OK. I suppose you could read it for humor purposes only.

I'm jealous. I only get four hits to your 125.

There should have been an entire section on Laz.

It’s not really that many. It ran out of “Tax-chick” fairly quickly, even with duplicates, and started picking up “Chick-Fil-A.”

That’s a pretty funny website. They love me some, too.

When I read what I actually posted, as opposed to the blog-owner’s interpretations, I didn’t see anything I wished I hadn’t said. For example, I said Michelle Obama should wear underwear. It was the blogger who said she was physically malformed.

He or she seems to have missed the whole year when I was detonating my Midlife Crisis all over the FR landscape, usually while Having Drink Taken ...

California effect?

Such accusations would be nice if they came with specifics.

Conservapedia is just as editable as Wikipedia.

Yeah, same here. But, it’s nice to know my outreach-to-progs-to-tick-them-off effort is finally starting to pay off. I need to bookmark that link.

People from FR tried to edit the Wikipedia article several years ago, but the liberal editors there reverted it to the liberal view.
