Lies are defeated by repeating the truth.


Yep. That is definitely one way.

They are also defeated by being destroyed with actual compelling facts. That can’t be done if someone has not seen the lie, nor how the lie is being communicated.

I really hate echo chamber sites.

Nobody’s advocating a mindless echo chamber site. But what we have here on FR is often an mindless repetition of of almost endless Leftist media’s published lies.

As I said, some posts of certain published lies can help in ferreting out the truth and can be very helpful. But we should be mostly publishing the truth on FR, not the lies and as much good news as possible to bolster morale. As some have said, if they all they did was look at the headline stream, they’d think this was a Leftist site.

You choice isn’t limited between posting the constant stream of leftist lies versus an “echo chamber.” As I said, FReepers should find and post reliable sources that have already deconstructed the lie and replaced it with the truth and with a headline that says the truth.

To be honest, many here need to become much more acquainted and intelligent with what they are advocating and believe in. Part of the problem IMO is many know what they’re against but have difficulty clarifying for themselves what they are for. That may be one reason they continually want to publish and then bash the Leftist lies rather than mostly publish the truth that will actually defeat the lies.
