"Prosecutors Say Scott Walker at the Center of Criminal Scheme."

I saw that headline at the top of breaking news at Free Republic, and then heard Walker himself explain the smear.

The Free Republic comments were pro-Walker, of course, but the headline was a propaganda device by the left. That headline WAS the play they were making. That headline was what the liberal opposition WANTED to be broadcast.

So, in that sense Free Republic was injured in its mission of providing real news.

This tactic of the left shows how important it is that Jim Robinson allows comments about threads to be included with the actual title but in parenthesis.

Sometimes it would be wise for moderators to add parenthetical comments if the original poster does not. When the opposition is using the title as the propaganda it is disseminating, then that would be one of those times.

You make a good point.

I won’t post derogatory articles like that until I know it’s not propaganda by the Rat media and many times it’s hard to tell.
