Excellent!

I'm pretty sure we get Nightline here in Oz.Hopefully it's the same one.

I'll most certainly watch out for it and record it for a few mates.

God bless

FR will probably see a big increase in registrations over the next day or two after tonight's NL piece.

Welcome new FREEPERS!

Frankly this "poor little us" stick of the Chixs is NOT going to work. I think people will say "quit crying actions have consequences". This is about the people talking back to the self styled Media elites. That plays well in Red State America. The Chix pouting because people talked back is to them is NOT going to sell just like their recent tour did NOT sell at all well.

I know Hollyweird doesn't believe it, but MOST people do not hang breathlessly on everything taught they have or deed they do.

[Miss Behave]

In this case that magnificent bastard would be some kinda giant or something otherworldly that I hear tale of that goes by the name of Free Republic. He must be just HUGE. He sounds scary and dangerous. I think he eats flesh.

[No Blue States]

Thats so true, whether hearing it on the radio during the drive home from work, or watching the evening news I heard it on Free Republic at 9 Am that morning.

Radio or TV is like reading yesterdays newspaper in comparison to FR.
So Ive pretty much given up on them for a meaningful news source.

Thanks JimRob, and all the FR news gatherers(and makers).

[ilovew]

I'm sure you did great! I wish I could see it.

[txroadkill]

tivo is all set!

[DCPatriot]

Felling like jumping up n' down.....YEEEHAWWWW....OOPS!

[umgud]

I quit giving interviews a long time ago after being burned and taken out of context (twisting of words, etc.). Hope they don't do this to you.

Read it here, days later hear it repeated everywhere else. What a fabulous treasure house is Free Republic!

The magic of Free Republic is thousands of very intelligent individuals analyzing the news and issues. The land of Free Republic cuts across society and education. We have doctors, lawyers, engineers, truck drivers, enlisted men and officers and everything in between. When the MSM puts out something that is not true or biased we catch and analyze it. The MSM lurks here too. Bad logic is quickly shot down and the Mods do their best to keep the trolls away.

Can someone please explain what this is all about...publicity for there movie?....do they really think FR brought down the DC because as far as I know(unless I missed all the meetings) there was no organized effort to do so.

[RDTF]

It's just regular ABC - usually on after the late news

[Red Steel]

Kristinn, you always do great!

[FlJoePa]

Thanks for all you do Kristinn...a side note, I'm coming up with a team to Silver Spring to "spruce up the turf" at Fenton and Ellsworth in a few weeks. We'll clean it up, brush it up, and fix any small cracks or rips that may be there.

We know its getting ripped up in the Spring, but it has always been a special project for us and we don't want it to go out looking old and nasty (like Hillary).

Our treat - no cost to Montgomery County tax payers at all.

Thanks again for taking on the big guns and shining - I'm really looking forward to the broadcast. If you're ever down in the Jupiter, FL area, come see us.

[No Blue States]

Waiting for Nightline..

34 minutes and counting.

[Westlander]

Excellent.

[Mo1]

I missed the meeting and memo's too

[MNJohnnie]

You know the Chixs little propaganda flick should change it title to "Shut up and take it" since they are obviously outraged that we little peons dared to talk back to our "betters".


Real simply lesson for Hollyood-Music industry etc. They are marketing a product WE do not have to buy. WHEN they decide to use their fame to enter the battlefield of ideas, you are going to piss off one side or the other.

Nice Stars have opinions, that does NOT grant them immunity for having to take the consequences of their actions.

[Exit148]

Great interview report, Kristinn! You'll boost Nightline's ratings tonight!

The chicks just have to blame someone, don't they. It's never them! But maybe we should thank them for all the free publicity? Where have they been? Nightline, H@C? Oprah? Is The View next?

[RandallFlagg]

As always, I know you'll do us proud.

One question for you amd one for everyone on the thread:

Kristinn, do yhey allow you to bring your own recording device to these, or do you have to sign something promising you won't?

All, you are going to record this, right?
