They are more of a left wing newspaper. So be it. But they have been known to favour strong censorship. I've heard stories of them deleting comments online that have an opposing view point. And I can attest that they set out to have a very popular local radio show kicked off a Campus radio station and cost the host his job because the host disagreed with the Free Press. They essentially hinted at a lawsuit. Very disgusting in my humble opinion. Beats a right-wing paper, pretty rediculous, was just curious is all Beg to differ. At least the Sun never tried to ruin someone's job...ah hell, forget it.

I can't even find "Jetstream" on that link. It just takes me to "Jets Blog" or whatever it's called. Already frustrated with this new forum.

Jetshockey, Jetsbelievers and Ourjets are all solid thus far. It will simply be a matter of where the masses go. If it was up to me, I'd encourage the two "Jets___" forums to get together and have just one. Then you're competing only with a terrible WFP forum and ourjets (which is pretty strong too IMHO).

It's actually just a spam detection thing. Your first few posts are approved and then you're able to post without approval. I think i made three posts before I was able to make them immediately There has got to be a way to shut that off....

Like I said, after three posts, I was cleared to go with no approval. It was very unobtrusive. Make a few posts, come back tomorrow and you'll be fine.

The WFP site sucks...everyone basically agrees. DF must have sold or encouraged us to move to WFP to the highest bidder and I don't blame him. That's the way the world works and I hope he benefits somehow from this. WFP will remove your comment if they dont like it. Why would anyone post someone where they screen you out.

No disrespect to DF but if he did NOT get a substantial pay day then he's nuts. I hope it was very, very high dollar figure to attach his good name to that steaming pile of crap AND the censor-happy tools at WFP.

I hope it was very, very high dollar figure to attach his good name to that steaming pile of crap AND the censor-happy tools at WFP. I doubt it. If DF did get a very high dollar figure, you can bet all the long time writers would revolt. The WFP simply does not have the budget to pay someone that kind of dough. Having said that, if you have any doubts about the Free Press censorship, just look at the comments section of this article. More than half the comments have been deleted: www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews/Ruth-Babs-Asper--126453638.html
