Google News returns a bogus article from DU as "news". check the link: http://news.google.com/news?q=nostradamus&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wn
(I googled Nostradamus looking for a better source than Pravda to find an article about the comet predicted to hit the earth on the 19th of August.)
The question is...are we also a news source?
The DUh should be marked satire.
Only when FR is quoted in other media or get sued/threatened by some bigshots.
Yeah, ALL of it. MadIvan pointed me to an article they'd written about us (webmaster and webmistress of RightGoths.com and our site.) I had to laugh, their jibes were soooooo lame...
You may not like our style, DU losers, but you cannot argue with our politics...
There's a comet supposed to hit on August 19? According to the Bible Code, it's not supposed to hit until 2012...(very interesting show in History Channel the other night, btw)
I am sick of Google, Yahoo and AOL "news".
They are all left wing pukes!
The question is...are we also a news source?
Good question! AP was a good organization with standards when started but is no longer. Would be interesing to review how they started and use some of that as a model. Competition is good. If you have vision, there is no reason FR couldn't hire and pay reporters.......We all know that the media is putting themselves out of business.
THE KEY IS A HIGH QUALITY (truth seeking), DIVERSIFIED (not consolidated) ORGANIZATION which is what the AP was at one time.
Jim are you up to the task and do you have a vision to compete with the other media?
And the second article that comes up is from BrokenNewz.
August 19th?
OMG...WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!
Seriously, did you find anything? I have a friend who's very "into" this type of stuff.
I can just hear it now in the WH press briefing room: "Hi Scott, this is July 4th from the Free Republic News Service..."
Well, I'm incensed that they haven't Googled Mingus as a news source:
Google is making enemies all over the place. Pride cometh before a fall.
Perhaps not, due to our "robots.txt" file.

Amazing what an unbiased newsbot can come up with as a source.
Rather than satire, it should be marked as scream therapy for the affluent who are too cheap and too ashamed to pay for real therapy.
Too bad. They really need it.
