“How often is this an outright lie I wonder?

The media tried to contact ____ and they would not return their calls.”

Maybe not a lie per se, just a failed attempt at mental telepathy.

They still can’t over a Free Republic Poster outing Dan “Fake but accurate” Rather for his made up Slanderous attack on President Bush’s Air National Guard story.

Same old, same old.

Since the Baltimore Sun is trying to hurt Free Republic, I guess that means they consider Free Republic a threat. They are making false accusations about Free Republic and are guilty of yellow journalism themselves.

Wow. Don’t know much about Asthma attacks and didn’t know they could be so severe. If his hand and arms were restrained, the “nickel ride” as people are calling it, shouldn’t have broken his neck.
But what he heck, it was nice weather and no one in those groups is working for food, shelter or clothing so why not riot :) I don’t get the thinking.
The feds threw John Gotti in a cement cell right after chemo and some think they didn’t treat his severe gum infection on purpose and that is why he got throat cancer. Amnesty international wanted to petition on his behalf but he told them to go to hell. I’m American with Italian ancestors. Why would I care? he was a killer.

Actually, come to think of it, I bet Pravda.ru is less biased and more accurate than the above two screed sheets nowadays.

So, as FReepers whose names are being dragged through the mud over the posting of false info by the Sun, does this mean we have standing for a lawsuit?

BTW, an AMAZING job putting together the facts, and in showing damages by the false reports on behalf of the Sun.

Personally, I think Freddie Gray had a very severe asthma attack and possibly a seizure as a result, and the police either ignored it or didn’t check him closely enough when they stopped the van. The thumping and even the broken back is consistent with the type of injuries sustained by people in the course of a major seizure. He wasn’t belted down, but his arms and legs were restrained, and bucking his body against them may well have resulted in a broken back.

I'm going to wait for the autopsy report and sworn statements of the officers and witnesses before coming to any conclusion.

Rush-to-judgment is only OK for Obama and the mob inciters.

That’s what I say - Kudos, Kristinn. You / Free Republic - are driving the libs nuts. It is a high honor to be singled out. Puts you up with Rush and the Big Names they really hate. They know it’s not true, too. Don’t forget - telling the truth isn’t something they care about.

My wife was a reporter for 20 years or so.

I believe that they did make an attempt to contact the person if that is what they said.

But, I have witnessed my wife track people down who could not be reached. If the reporter REALLY wants to get a comment...they will get hold of the person.

Well done and well worth the time and effort you put into composing it, clearly much more of both than the “professionals” did.

Thank you!

>> A poster at the Daily Kos used the Sun article to attack Free Republic

  More excellent coverage from the Baltimore SUN, sticking a thumb in the eye of the F--- Rep----c website and its vicious rumors.

Silly libtard...

_______________

Draggged through the mud?

And I don’t think that you can sue to protect the dignity of a screen name.
