It's garbage.

Breitbart News is a far-right[6][7][8] American news, opinion, and commentary website.[7][8]Some sources describe it as a conservative news outlet or as part of the alt-right.[80][81][82]Its consistently conservative editorial positions overlap with the ideological positions of far-right European political parties.[citation needed] It supported Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign,[11] and political scientist Matthew Goodwin described Breitbart News as being "ultra-conservative" in orientation.[83]


Breitbart News has published a number of falsehoods and conspiracy theories,[12] as well as intentionally misleading stories,[14] including claims that Hillary Clinton and the Obama administration supported ISIS.[13] It has sometimes published these misleading stories as part of an intentional strategy to manipulate media narratives via disinformation.[15][85][14]In July 2010, Shirley Sherrod was fired from her appointed position as Georgia State Director of Rural Development for the United States Department of Agriculture.[86][87] Her firing was largely in response to coverage in Breitbart News of video excerpts from her address to an event of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in March 2010.[88] Both NAACP and White House officials apologized for their statements after a longer version of her address was reviewed.

I think it's just fine. It has a slight conservative view but it still reports the news. It's not nearly as sensationalist as, say, Huffington or vox

So, if some decided to run a poll on that website then the results would be HEAVILY biased towards the far right just like if Huffington ran a poll it would be HEAVILY biased towards the far left?

Pretty much. Not necessarily a far right or left. Just a slight slant

I feel embarrassed for all of those who posted Breitbart links to support their Right-wing arguments in 2016, lolololol

can't help but wonder how they're doing in life in 2019. probably in the same exact spot they were in 2016, lmao. no growth at all. just stupid, stagnant and seeking scapegoats.

I never said that? What are you talking about? I knew nothing about that site until this topic. Do you want to know why I asked? Trump sent out a tweet saying that 98% of Americans wants Adam Schiff to resign and investigated. He took a picture of that poll with breitbart as the reference. I assumed it was some far right trash but I didnt want to heavily judge just because Trump tweeted it so I asked Gamefaqs. They are pretty much confirming what it is. Huff is far left. Im aware of that and only the right trashes that site. Sounded similar to this breitbart site he referenced.

I asked this question with as little info as possible to remove my bias. But yea... Im somehow this racist far right extremist even though many will recognize me from being on the other side of the fence. God what a waste of time it was typing all of this

You should remember your own posts so you can comprehend the replies to you.

You said "this is a bait topic"
That's what his "It's really not" was in response to - not disagreeing with your opinion of Breitbart - hence the very next sentence being "Ive honestly never heard of it until today."

that's not necessarily a problem. no article can be written without bias, since every article is ultimately being written by a human being, and humans have biases.

some outlets are worth avoiding entirely though, and breitbart is one of them. it is a far right tabloid that regularly publishes lies

I think the problem is all we need are the facts. Like just give that despite being dry. Its like yeah, trump talked to ukraine. We dont need a panel trying to spin the call into codewords to argue impeachment is justified. Thats the real issue.

But honestly, news doesnt make money. News stopped being news when they found out sensationalism makes money. Its why we get flooded with fake news and nothing burgers

someone is still choosing which facts to include when reporting on an event. that is also a kind of bias.

and aside from that, breitbart is one of the worst offenders of your issues. it is sensationalist clickbait with a far right slant.

Breitbart is about as far right as media goes in the US without starting to verge on open white nationalism and it dips its toe into that every now and then.

The question is justified. 1964 the Supreme Court ruled on The NY Times v Sullivan that news wasn't obligated to tell the truth. With that being said, why wouldn't you look at it as a potential vehicle for confirmation bias.
