I have a funny feeling this going to get worse. I hope it doesn't, but I just have a bad feeling more publications will start doing this. One thing we can do is put Free
Republic members out there as reporters and report the news, honestly, as it happens, before the spin begins. There are a lot of us, all over the country/ world and we often times beat the competition to the headlines. I think we could go to the next level. Seriously, what would prevent us from obtaining press passes at events?

I think that's a great idea.

I have a funny feeling this going to get worse.

There's nothing bad about these mainstream publications doing this, it's a blessing in disguise.

See, not only are they cutting off their nose by denying themselves major traffic by allowing others to bring attention to their sites/magazines, but they're foricing us to use only right leaning and alternative sources for our content.

So now they'll have less traffic and these boards will take on a more alternative or right leaning mood. If they want to Balkanize the information flow on the web it's their loss.

I like that idea.
