Kristinn, you have been heroic in the amount of time and effort you have put into this over so many years.

It sounds as if you should have made a good impression on the people in the studio, which never hurts. Now we'll see what they keep and what they cut.

But no matter how much they cut or spin, I think it's a big plus for FR. I first learned about FR and Drudge through a hit piece in the New York Times Magazine Section. Not their intention at all, but it called these sites to my attention.

I heard about Free Republic in a hit piece by the Minneapolis Star Trib on the Support the Troops movement. Wonder how many other Freepers got their start by the Junk Media bad mouthing Free Republic?

I first learned about FR and Drudge through a hit piece in the New York Times Magazine Section.

The NYT actually mentioned FR way back when? I first learned of FR while watching C-SPAN in December of 1998. Someone called the morning show and mentioned FR.
