Is that like CNN reporting the dramatic increase in violence - racial slurs, racist graffiti, physical attacks - after Trump won the election?

Breitbart is sensationalist and does some good reporting but also contributes to partisan rhetoric with misleading information. Point me to a 'mainstream media' source that doesn't do the same, though, with CNN being the biggest offender in recent months.

Depends.

Do you want me to "take seriously" the article you linked?

No on impulse. But occasionally I see something by them I like and I have to verify it. They do bring attention to some good stuff that isn't getting the attention it deserves. I classify them one step above Alex Jones. Both have some really good stuff that is ahead of the news cycles by days, sometimes even months and can be verified if you do your legwork.

But I rarely post THEIR articles.


"In the world I see you are stalking elk through the damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rockefeller Center. You'll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Towers. And when you look down, you'll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying stripes of venison on the empty car pool lane of some abandoned superhighway." T Durden

I'm looking at the "corrections" in your link and they seem to say the same thing BB said.

Breitbart said there was "a mob of a 1,000"...

Quote:
There was in fact a total of around 1,000 people gathered to celebrate New Year’s Eve

BB was wrong about the"oldest church" because there's one other church older.

BB said the church was set on fire...

Quote:
and a small fire had started on some netting on scaffolding around the church

They are not on my regular reading list but they do some good stuff. First site where I saw reports of the sexual violence from muslim immigrants in Sweden and how Sweden is dealing with it.

I opened this thinking that the first response was going to be, "blah blah blah CNN......."


CNN, MSNBC, Fox, etc. all have lots of misleading news, and sometimes say stuff that is just completely wrong. Breitbart, OTOH, is a complete tabloid.

I would never have heard of it if it weren't for the involvement of that Trump minion (who's name I can't recall at the moment). Never seen it, I assume it some sort of news website.

The only people I know I don't take seriously are Canadians that obsessively post about anything, I mean ANYTHING anti-American they can find.

So far, a couple of Canuks are the only people on my iggy list...

You haven't made it there, yet.

If you are a Canuck that engages in gratuitous bashing of the US, you are probably on my Iggy List. So, save your self a bunch of typing a response unless you also feel the need to gratuitously bash me. If so, have fun.
