Nice reporting FREEPERS!!

Now I wish that I had posted something more profound than 'Dang. Just missed it.' -or whatever it was along those lines that I posted.

I didn't see the thread until yesterday afternoon but it is very fascinating.

This is great news however it should come with a warning; those in power who have been after the Net and talk radio, may try to squelch free speech once again.

Good on 'Ya Freepers!

Article is dated Feb. 2, Sunday, when the WSJ doesn't publish. I take it this is on their Web site? I wonder if it appears in the print edition today.

I heard about it from FR. I saw the headline that communication had been lost, and went to the TV.

I'm reminded of 9-11. By the tenth or so reply to the thread about the plane hitting the first tower, a FReeper had posted, Osama Bin Laden.

This is an incredible amount or work you freepers have done, an excellent record of the tragic unexpected end to the Columbia and her crew. I wept a lot as I read the first excited sightings of this great shuttle; the first awareness of something wrong and then the ultimate disaster. NASA should be impressed by this group of Americans; your depth of caring and your insight, I know I am.

This article is also linked on Lucianne's short cuts with a special note of congratulations to Free Republic.

Oh, yes. Let me add that FreeRepublic coverage of this disaster was mentioned by a Freeper named Jay on the Charlie Sykes show this morning in Milwaukee.

I love the fact that FR scooped AP by more than ten minutes! To be completely honest, though, CNN went to live coverage inside of two minutes after communication was lost. FOX was very soon thereafter. AP is the big loser here.

[Lady Jag]

Free Republic has more reporters than all the news stations combined. That's one of the things that makes it so great.

Good work and good reporting
