University of California at Santa Cruz psychology professor Anthony Pratkanis sees similarities in Free Republic and Daily Kos, though they come from different ends of the political spectrum. Both put out the spin that their supporters want to hear; both either exaggerate facts or just plain make them up, he said. I can imagine how many "facts" this guy makes up on a daily basis as he indoctrinates his students.
BTW, congrats Jim!

You are part of a "hugh" wave of members who signed up after 9-11.

Congratulations and viva JimRob!
The four ahead of FR are all showing up in “news” searchers on Google — y’know, because Google is run by a bunch of partisan shills.

"Both put out the spin that their supporters want to hear; both either exaggerate facts or just plain make them up," he said.I'd love the chance to debate Professor Pratkanis on any policy issue he chooses here at FR. Then we'll see who gets their facts correct and who gets them from the Goebellsian press.
Keep on keeping on Jim.
To: Jim Robinson
Excellent! Thank you for all these years!

Many of its postings have a decidedly fringe feel.
I believe it's fair to say that I'm unfringed. ;)

Mostly nice article. They totally missed the Rathergate debacle. Coincidence? No, that would mean having to admit GWB did serve as he said.
Thanks, Jim. I’m here everyday. I don’t post much, but I do learn something every day. And, my sanity is still pretty much intact. ;-0

I don’t believe that the trash site, “Huffington Post” gets more hits than Free Republic.

Hooah.
I did not come on board until 2000 (my wife lil’freeper was here first..which is funny because I converted her from a bit of liberalism when we met) and found my soul mates here.
I was an Army officer, not a Marine...but Semper Fi seems to be an appropriate phrase today.
