I am not a fan of their format. It is clunky and hard to read. Looks too 1990-ish in its style. ---

They banned me after my first post. Which was a question. Asking for a cite that Governors had the power to prevent Presidents from entering states. They’re that petty. CMC ---

> [@Yankees\_1996\_Champs](#): > > Do you think they are crazy? I was doing a review of what conservative sites/sources made of Trump’s 180 turn on masks. This is a very, very important thing to report to people inside their bubbles of information. Years ago I had made a list of right wing sources that are doing biased but a bit fair effort at reporting to recommend to others, so as to not have just one side of the history, and masks is one very important thing to spread among the right wing masses. Townhall. com just had no contributor interested on telling their readers about how it is a good idea to use masks. The American Spectator had as a headline one influencer that also had seen the light about masks. freerepublic is more crazy than Townhall. In the sense that the lone contribution about masks I saw was about seeding doubts about the use of masks. At least Townhall did not report on masks in support or to discourage their use. Into the loony bin goes freerepublic… ---

Far too vague. Try again with a little more…anything. ---
