        Did you ever expect anyone of us to take it seriously. I've seen you dismiss media matters before out of hand so try to avoid being a hypocrite.

              Yeah, old news, kiddo. They were reporting (apparently incorrect) information received directly from border agents.

              Now go ahead, show me a news source that gets it right 100% of the time. Give me any source, and I can cherry pick the occasional story where they've blown it, too.. It happens. Big deal.

                From what I've seen, Breitbart seems to simply aggregate conservative blog posts. The bloggers make up crazy stuff. Breitbart posts it as 'news'.

                Sure, they're not 100% wrong all the time. And their stories are true in the sense that it is true that they're stories. That's the best I can say for them really. But by and large these are people who aren't quite connected to reality in the normal way and who seem to think evidence is optional.

                • Not just conservative blog posts! Sometimes they complain about peoples tweets all on their own!

                    If you want me (and I imagine others here) to actually read the news quotes, they need to be from reputable sources, not Breitbart which never counts as reputable under any circumstances. In other areas I'd accept Fox News as a cited source, but not for Hillary-scandals. So no sources any further to the extreme right than Washington Post or WSJ please.
                    the WSJ is right-ish. The Washington Post is a more or less typical left-leaning rag.

                    • The Washington Times is the right-leaning DC paper. Is that what you meant?

                        I think it's hilarious that he wants me to only cite sources that are more likely to be sympathetic to his liberal pea-brained point of view.

                        How about this: if I'm only allowed to cite left-wing news sources then Dimbulb should only be allowed to cite right-wing news sources. Deal?

                          Just as I thought Starlight only looks at sources that agree with him never any that might show that what he thinks is wrong. Or if he thinks that Washington post and WSJ are to the right then he must be far far far left of the scale. Oh right he's the guy who thinks it is ok to kill a 3 month old baby of course he is very far to left extreme left of the scale.

                              He's also the guy who thinks that Obama is a right-leaning moderate. Yeah, he's way out in left field.

                              • But I like how the story has been effectively buried by the "lol Breitbart" cryers, so here it is again in the hopes that it'll actually spark some intelligent discussion.
