V A N I T Y - Subversive activities on FR?

Fair Warning, This is a VANITY rant.

I have been watching (lurking), for quite a while. I have come to the conclusion that, since FR has almost assumed "icon" status as an alternative news outlet, there seems to have been an "organized" effort at using FR as a vehicle for subverting thought.

Most recently, there have been some interesting banter, usually between the same individuals, about how much better CNN has become and how FNC has degraded, and how "so and so" isn't watching FNC anymore because of.....(insert some bogus issue here).....

After you break the code, it is almost hysterical to watch.

The usual targets seem to be Fox News Channel, ANY gun post, and FR in general.

I would just caution and advise all of us old-timer, hard-corps Freepers, be aware that you may be the subject of manipulation on the part of the notorious "seminar callers" of Rush Limbaugh fame.

As a note of warning to the "opinion shapers" that think they are being clever on FR. I have been documenting chapter and verse and send it to the Mods regularly.

I now return you to your regularly scheduled threads........

"Actually SP got banned much later for different reasons"

Actually, SneakyPete got banned within miutes of questioning DITHF. He was reinstated within a few days.

Ya, I think the jury is still out on him, but it seems most lean to the "nut" theory.

I may be guilty of complaining that FOXS has become too much tabloid, what with the Peterson case, Jacksons case, blah, blah, blah. But trust me, I am as far from a democrat as one can get!!!!!

[oceanperch]

agree 100%

[Syncro]

Well, yea...

:>)

[Syncro]

Ok, I thought you meant his permant ban.

Mea Coupoula or how ever you spill it...

[gatex]

I missed that he was permently banned, though had noticed he hadn't posted. Thought I had recalled he was having some physical problems.

[nopardons]

Thank you. :-)

Me too.
But I am brand new here and almost afraid to reply for fear of being asked to leave cause I didn't say it right.

Hmmm, another 1998 member comes out of the mist. I think all were laying low in Ghana till the thing with the other thing came out and was revealed.

Ah, but I've said too much X34TG-N.

[lewislynn]

Is that subversive ("a vehicle for subverting thought")?

I don't watch any of them because I can't stand any of them. It's my personal opinion everyone else should do and feel the same...Is that subversive?

[truthkeeper]

Hey! I'm a 1998 alum and I'm not for sale on eBay!

Not to worry. Some people have an absolute fixation about this. Put 'em on ignore.

[Cultural Jihad]

I would just caution and advise all of us old-timer, hard-corps Freepers, be aware that you may be the subject of manipulation on the part of the notorious "seminar callers" . . .

Those illegal alien seminar callers are playing us'n UberKonservatives like fiddles! I've voted Republican since the last Ice Age, but if Bush can't thwart this epic invasion of manipulators, I may just go vote elsewhere this time!

How to Make a Guerrilla Documentary
(Liberal Campaign to smear FOX News)

''Outfoxed'' has been made in secret. The film is an obsessively researched expose of the ways in which Fox News, as Greenwald sees it, distorts its coverage to serve the conservative political agenda of its owner, the media tycoon Rupert Murdoch. It features interviews with former Fox employees, leaked policy memos written by Fox executives and extensive footage from Fox News, which Greenwald is using without the network's permission. The result is an unwavering argument against Fox News that combines the leftist partisan vigor of a Michael Moore film with the sober tone and delivery of a PBS special. A large portion of the film's $300,000 budget came in the form of contributions in the range of $80,000 from both MoveOn and the Center for American Progress, the liberal policy organization founded by John Podesta, the former chief of staff for Bill Clinton; Greenwald, who is not looking to earn any money from the project, provided the rest.

What bothers me most, and has for about a year, is when people pop up with '98 screen names

FOX is the only news I watch, but I will never go out of my way again to watch cheesebag Bill O'Full-of-himself after his hypocritcal interview with Moron Moore.

Bill is in the doghouse with me after he blew the interview and let Moore get away with murder.

Welcome to FR. I think we've all taken a thumping here at one time or another.
