1. I hope DUers realize our enemies don't stop there
Unless you count General Electric, Viacom, Disney and Clearchannel as friends.

They are all heavily ideological and slanted. The difference with Fox is they get angry about some things and they gloat. That's it. And yes, it reeks really bad. We know this.

We also know that CBS viewers were nearly as deluded about Iraq as Fox viewers. (Sorry, don't have a link at the moment.) All one has to do is read the replies to see how esteemed a source is with DUers.

7. These "litmus tests..." are insane...
You can't judge a cover by its book and you can't necessarily judge the intent of a poster by the source of their material. To do so, makes us just as unthinking drones as Freepers.

3. They've done some great investigative reporting.
See the WalMart series?

5. Yes, LA TIMEs still does some great reporting...
We may not like everything, but at least they are reporting on some of the Bushista's crap...

4. A lot of long-time DUers link to these too. So, be careful who you "out."
eom

Personally I won't watch Faux or go their website AT ALL. But, I admit occasionally glancing at the slimemaster Drudge's website, because it's a very very quick peak. Say what you want, but the site is updated rapidly, concise, and on occasion, has articles that ALL of us want to read.

6. Link to Drudge?
I've seen them link to him, but not as their source for a talking point. That's the difference.

9. That's the point...He rounds up sources that DUers link
Clearly no one here is directly quoting Drudge for anything...
I would take the time to go back to the original source and I agree that I am not anxious to give Drudge much credit nor website support.

I'm only saying that just because someone sees a WP article or a Reuters link on Drudge and posts through Drudge to the article is not indicative of them being FREEPERS!!
