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.
The barrier to entry is low, which is something of a double edged sword. It allows for some great and compelling voices to be heard that we wouldn’t hear from otherwise. It also means that we get our share of idiots, trolls, msm scum, and uniparty lackeys. They usually self zot under withering scorn. Or are ignored.
Having been thrown off of several other sites, I’ve come to truly appreciate FR.
