Breitbart
The CNN or MSNBC of the right, if CNN/MSNBC did more news and less opinion and had any journalistic standards.

| CBS's Foreign Correspondent (Laura Logan) admitted that she might be committing political suicide by admitting the political truth (something frowned on at CBS), that the media is widely far-left leaning and under-represents the other side of stories. |

| You don't have to like Breitbart, to admit that it's a news source that's broken some pretty good scoops, and done some serious investigative journalism. They are biased, but so is CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, NPR, NYT, WaPo and HuffPo, that are all tolerated as sources. Pick a standard, and ban everyone based on that. But you don't get to have arbitrary standards. |
| Fake News Hunter Review |
|---|
| Daily Kos hasn't seen "My Son Hunter" but reviews it anyways. Spoiler: it tells a truth they don't like; so they hated it. Calling it, "soft-porn conspiracy flick for weird conservative incels"... based on never having seen it, or reading anything about the topic (obviously). Leftist Journalism doesn't require you be familiar with the subject. |

Conclusion[edit | edit source]
I would tell anyone to not trust ANY website or news source. Always question, or leave room for doubt. Breitbart is no exception to the rule. But what I like about them is they break news that the other left wing sites suppress, they backup their material more (because they are being held to a higher standard for being right wing), they are open about their biases unlike CNN, NYT or WaPo that likes to pretend they're not biased (while obviously failing). That being said, they have made mistakes -- and corrected them. Most of the hand waiving about errors turns out to pretty pedantic shit, once you look into it. (Where they were materially correct).
The biggest gotcha the left has, is that they said they weren't going to allow a platform for the alt-right, long before the alt-right was established into what it later coalesced into. Ah ha! Gotcha. That's like saying that CNN was completely behind Antifa, BLM, SPLC or Jussie Smollett, before they were exposed as hate groups. It might not show great judgement as they should have known what they would devolve into -- but it's a tad unfair to misrepresent it based on what they knew at the time.
