Thread: Question

Is Breitbart a legitimate news source. I see items from there often in my FB newsfeed and I know I’ve reposted some but I’ve also seen comments where people say it’s satire. I’ve tried looking for a disclaimer but can’t find anything on their site that says they’re satire. Anyone know for sure?

It's legitimate, but clearly conservative.

Ok thanks. And conservative is ok with me, considering how liberal so many other news sites are.

It may be politically conservative but is it morally conservative ? Some accuse it of simply being ultra right wing with everything that that entails.

yes, Col is right.. the far left tries to paint them as loonies.
But, I think, for the most part, it brings a bit of balance to the extreme far left dominance.
I do think, sometimes, the way the present the info is a bit much.

Sundance, The Last Refuge, has been very helpful to me. The articles are not hyped or, IMHO, conspiratorial. During the situation with Sessions and President Trump tweeting frustration Sundance had an indepth post about the timelines and likelihood of certain investigations already taking place and explained why President Trump would actually NOT be privy to that...I found it most helpful.

If main stream sites like CNN, NBC, etc, etc label a competing site as "fake news" you can generally assume that the site being labeled as fake is a good source.

It should be at this time wholly apparent that most of corporate media is the fake news. They are just reading from scripts, bash Trump, all day, every day, they have no interest in actually informing the public. They are only trying to influence the public, which is actually the definition of propaganda.

The political party found the furthest to the right here in Norway is the Progress Party. They aren't as right wing as some of the similar political parties in other European countries but like in America their voters include both secular right wingers and religious right wingers. Those two groups don't necessarily mix that well and there are some extreme elements among the secular right wingers.

Yep. They've gone from reporting the news to trying to influence. Even if Trump does something good that a liberal president would be lauded for, it's ignored and the negative stuff still pounded on hour after hour.
