Lot's of people and sources refer back to Breitbart but today was the first time I ever looked them up and sat down to read as if it were the morning paper. Here's what struck me: 1) The ads, which are everywhere, are of the kind you would see on social media or associated with a private blog. Today the same battleship game appears three separate places on the main page, including giant banners of it along the top and side. Then you have sports ads. And Breitbart wants to sell you their shirt. 2) The articles, without a single exception, are 100% pro conservative and anti liberal. There isn't anything one could say is middle of the road here. And there's no objective topic with objective reporting, such as basic play by play of a national event. It's all following the same script and theme. 3) If you click on any link to read anything at all you get the giant pop-up to subscribe to their newsletter so they can further brainwash you via e-mail. Seriously guys, I'm not even a Liberal like some of you like to claim. I just want to try to be middle of the road and objective and fair about things. And I'm telling you, Breitbart looks absolutely no different from any maniac's blog ranting on about their chosen favorite topic, with the exception that it has enough article links to look like a mainstream publication. This is junk. Nothing but junk. And some of you hold this up like it's the true alternative to WSJ or NYT or any time tested peer reviewed publication. What a farce. Side: Yes it does
