I just did a little test to check my last comment...
This article is news from a news source (Wall Street Journal) in the News forum. It was posted about 40 minutes ago... It initially got about 130 hits in the first 15 minutes then only ten hits after that (sitting at 150 now)

That may just mean that everyone who was on line read it that where going to.. it wasn’t moved, but the hits dropped off quickly. Folks just weren’t interested in continuing to go back to the article..

This discussion is not over this one post. This is a pattern I have seen repeatedly on FR over the last several months. I have several other friends who frequent FR and have made the same comments. I got an email from a conservative news site just yesterday asking if I could help them be recognized as a news site on FR... to which I of course said NO!

I chat with numerous conservative news outlets on a regular basis and there is a growing frustration with their worthy products being downgraded to personal message board status on FR.

I don't even remember how long I've been reading and posting here, but my memory says several years now.

Nobody here seems worried about any of that... So be it!

The MSM dumped the conservative message decades ago. Google, AOL, Yahoo and MSN all try to strip conservative news from search results under the heading of “hate speech.” Pelosi, Reid and Obama are hot on Limbaugh's trail.

Why shouldn't FR silence the conservative voice as well?
