FR is better than almost all. You find a good story from an obscure source and the boss and mods aren’t going to say a peep about it.
Maybe a handful work for the MSM who are certainly losing respect as being fair and balance. It's a fact the MSM are losing market share alternative news sources.
Free Republic is the best. Anything posted here gets pretty much vetted eventually and that's a good thing. I respect those who spend their time and brainpower doing so.
It's only a few who complain about a source without contributing to vetting said article or story that I'm referring to. Even then, I hope the comment is taken in a constructive sort of way and actually leads to more contribution by both sides.
