fark.com approved a freeper link about Dean as "news". Hilarity ensues.

Oh cool.

If FARK is going to post discussions from Free Republic, does that mean FARK will also post discussions from DemocraticUndergound.com?

Oh, and now that I've had a chance to RTFA, I see that the headline is pretty damn inaccurate. Dean didn't single out Fox (except for saying in response to a specific question that he disagreed with them on idealogical grounds), but more generically said that all of the powerful media conglomerates deserve to be broken up, without specifically naming any of them.

I'm not a big fan of Dean--I think of him as sort of a neo-Clinton--but the more I see the righties constantly trying to spin his statements and put words into his mouth, the more I think there must be something about him that bothers the Bushies, which raises his credibility in my eyes.

The state of American media is horrible, clearly.

...but posting articles from Freerepublic? That's just stupid.

1. Yeah well.....

I am pretty sure Drew IS a freeper. Little else would explain the level of discourse over at Fark.

2. Dean must be getting right wing mindshare

For FARK to be grabbing at misquoted transcripts from Freeperville, they are scraping the barrel looking for dirt on Dean.
