Breitbart MUST be destroyed.

[WilliamSeger]

Breitbart is one of the very few sources of non-fake news in this country.

That might be true if you just mean the opposite of what Donnie calls "fake news" -- i.e. what our descendants will call "history" -- in which case it's definitely not a compliment.

The reason so many leftists were wrong about Zimmerman, Ferguson, Trump/Russia, "the Youtube video", and so many other issues of great importance is because they watched and read fake news like NYT and WaPo. Why so many people think they can be "skeptics" while consuming nothing but Democrat Party controlled propaganda and outright lies is very puzzling. Don't you guys ever get tired of being wrong?

I’m not entirely sure I want to unpack this, but what do you think “leftists” got wrong in all that?

And, to cut to the chase, do you understand the difference between meeting a legal burden and establishing what actually occurred in a situation? Because, like most conservatives on the board in regards to some of these cases, I’m guessing not.

The reason so many leftists were wrong about Zimmerman...

George Zimmerman

Other encounters with law enforcement

Zimmerman has had other encounters with the law, including two incidents in 2005, five incidents in 2013, and other incidents in following years...

On September 9, 2013, in Lake Mary, police responded to a 911 call by Zimmerman's estranged wife, who reported that Zimmerman had threatened her and her father with a gun and had punched her father in the face...

On November 18, 2013, Zimmerman's girlfriend called the police, alleging that after she had asked Zimmerman to leave her home, he had pointed a shotgun at her and begun breaking her belongings. The police reported that Zimmerman had barricaded himself inside the apartment before they made their way inside and arrested him. He was charged with aggravated assault with a weapon...

On November 9, 2016, Zimmerman was removed from a bar after yelling at a waitress. A deputy on the scene said Zimmerman used a racial slur before he left. Zimmerman stated he intended to sue the Seminole County Sheriff's Office. The deputy claimed that Zimmerman said: "I didn't know you were a ****** lover."

George Zimmerman

The reason so many conservatives were wrong about Zimmerman is they refuse to pay attention to reality, preferring to instead believe whatever the right wing media machine tells them.

The reason so many conservatives were wrong about Zimmerman is they refuse to pay attention to reality, preferring to instead believe whatever the right wing media machine tells them.

But, you see, because the "conservative" in question is able to say the exact same thing (dishonestly, but still), we are stuck in a situation where there's no way to tell who really is the party who doesn't pay attention to reality. Of course, this relies on us not paying attention to reality.

And so the dance goes, trolling on, never allowing any honest discussion.

The answer, of course, is to not engage. Talk about, never to. There are few conservatives that warrant discussing with. There are no "conservatives" that do.

My position on this topic with other posters in the past is that a court of law not being able to return a "guilty" verdict is not the same thing as proof that Zimmerman is innocent. There is absolutely zero objective evidence on who attacked whom first and who was acting in self-defense. There were exactly two people who knew exactly how the confrontation was initiated and one of them was dead before he could tell anyone what happened.

Saying that one knows what really happened based on a legal verdict demonstrates a lack of understanding about the nature of legal trial, evidence, and reality.

 

[Mumbles]

The reason so many leftists were wrong about Zimmerman,

You mean the serial domestic abuser who chased down and murdered a black teenager for clearly stated racist reasons, and who has since been in numerous violent incidents? No, we got that one right, it was white supremacists and reactionaries that got it wrong. And actually, they got it right, until Obama spoke about it, at which point they imagined Trayvon Martin entirely in terms of a century-old racist stereotype known as "the Brute" - a drug-fueled, superpowered, rage-filled mega-****** looking to murder poor white men and rape white women.

Ferguson,

You mean the town with the brazenly white supremacist police force that attacked an entire community of black people for over a year using military surplus like they were an ISIS front, live and on camera broadcast throughout the entire world? Again, it's clear who got this one wrong - conservatives and white supremacists.

Trump/Russia,

You mean the very clear siding of Putin for Dolt 45 over Hillary Clinton? Whoo boy, did the right every get this entire election wrong, fooled by garbage on Twitter and Facebook - and now they're whining about how Dolt 45 is hurting *them*, and not just the queers and the darkies.

"the Youtube video"

You mean...actually, there are billions of Youtube videos, who knows what you mean?

And honestly, given what you've already cited of examples of "leftists" getting things wrong that they actually got right, who even cares what video you're talking about?

and so many other issues of great importance is because they watched and read fake news like NYT and WaPo. Why so many people think they can be "skeptics" while consuming nothing but Democrat Party controlled propaganda and outright lies is very puzzling. Don't you guys ever get tired of being wrong?

The funny part is that many "leftists" hate the NYT in particular. If anything, far too many of them ended up listening to buffoons like Jimmy Dore or Julien Assange.

But do reactionaries ever grow tired of being ignorant, fear-filled, and consumed with hatred and anger?

Guess not...

I stopped reading right there. Once someone trots out Trump's 'fake news' crap, I know any rational, logical, and intelligent discussion isn't going to happen with that person.

Really?!

A factual search reveals numerous failed fact checks by IFCN Fact Checkers. Here are just a few of many as an example:

Breitbart Duped by Fake News (Again) (False)
Following Joe Kennedy’s speech, Breitbart says Fall River, Mass. not built by immigrants (False)
Breitbart gets the wrong Loretta Lynch in Whitewater claim (Pants on Fire)
Did Planned Parenthood ‘Team Up’ With Satanists to Promote Abortion Rights in Missouri? (False)
Trump’s ISIS Conspiracy Theory (False)
Breitbart article baselessly claims a study of past climate invalidates human-caused climate change (False)
Overall, we rate Breitbart Questionable based on extreme right wing bias and publication of numerous false claims.
Breitbart: questionable source (Media Bias/Fact Check)

Am I the only one who finds Breitbart terribly boring?

It somehow fails to be informative and interesting.

It has that drab 'propaganda' feel. Like a Soviet publication. Serving up the talking points without enthusiasm and avoiding offending the masters.

 

[Craig4]

I get the feeling that Breitbart is Steve Bannon sitting in his office alone with an ever increasing pile of empty bottles of Jack.

 

[Trebuchet]

So you're saying he DOES know Jack?

 

[jakesteele]

The piece of **** that runs Britebart also runs the Trump campaign.

The Trump campaign appears to not be willing to stop until he's destroyed the country. All because of the uppity ****** that destroyed him at the Correspondent's dinner.

How exactly is Trump destroying this country?

 

[jakesteele]

The damage is going to go far beyond this election, I'm afraid. These people are an unhinged, existential threat to this country.

I think you're seeing boogeymen where there aren't any.

 

[Upchurch]

How exactly is Trump destroying this country?

A bit off topic. The tl;dr version could be:

• Tearing down relations with long term allies while cow towing to foreign dictators.
• Tearing down regulations that help protect Americans both financially and in terms of health and environment.
• Disregarding US Constitutional checks and balances between the branches of government.
• Having an administration rife with corruption and crime.

Hey, not fair to kick a guy when he's down banned!

And lots of pills.

Totally legal pills, obviously. Bannon would never do illegal drugs. Those people should be in jail.
