Freedomain Radio in the mainstream media...

Miscellaneous Current Events

As you may know, Freedomain Radio was featured in an article in the British newspaper The Guardian last weekend.

Now, as we all know, the mainstream media is often far from accurate when it comes to representing libertarian, free-market or voluntarist ideas. I think that this article is a very good example of how a source can take a reporter for a ride.

If you would like to read the article, and my response to it, you can click below, I think it is very interesting, please let me know what you think.[:)]

I didn’t know you had a response to it, I’ll check it out.

3

I dislike you.

(and you look like a tool in that picture)

4

Wow, that’s almost exactly the same reason used in the the article! [:D]

Do you work for the Guardian?

5

LMAO. grabs popcorn

6

We discussed it extensively elsewhere.

7

The fact that you look like a tool?

How did it feel for your ego, being in the MSM?

Now you’re just being a troll.

Stop trolling.

13

Lol, ok.

Just out of interest, isn’t this atheist posting of forums owned by a Catholic, the same guy who blasts libertarians for working on universities with privately owned seats? The same anti family man having a kid?

I notice a pattern.

I’m guessing this is quite indicative of the FDR crowd.

15

I think it is in poor taste to market one’s own community through this one without participating in said community in good faith.

It would be like if I went to FDR and promoted my blog. That wouldn’t be very cool to use someone else’s resources that way.

16

This is already a topic on Mises, I just couldn’t find the thread until someone pointed it out…

PS you are welcome to come to FDR and promote your blog, it happens all the time, and I am very pleased about that.[:)]

17

To be frank, the biggest problem that I have with FDR is that I think he represents some of the most atrocious statism that ever came from the office of the American presidency.

Oh, wait! You mean that other FDR!

Seriously, though. That is my joking attempt to indicate that the acronym is confusing and annoying because of that. I guess it is too late to change that.

18

I had the same reaction to the acronym when I saw it. Only NSDAP woul have been worse.

19

Not sure. Everybody knows that was bad.

As long as we’re shamelessly promoting, I may as well link to my critique of Stefan’s book, Universally Preferable Behaviour: A Rational Proof of Secular Ethics. Stefan, now that we’re no longer “at your dinner table,” I suppose this would be a reasonable time to offer to discuss my critique with you. That is, of course, if you’re interested; I’m sure that the Guardian article has put a lot on your plate.
