    I concur..here's another opinion.

    Since its founding in 2007, Breitbart News Network has grown to become one of the most popular news outlets on the right.

    Over the past year, however, the outlet has undergone a noticeable shift toward embracing ideas on the extremist fringe of the conservative right. Racist ideas. Anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant ideas –– all key tenets making up an emerging racist ideology known as the “Alt-Right.”

    The Alternative Right, commonly known as the Alt-Right, is a set of far-right ideologies, groups. and individuals whose core belief is that “white identity” is under attack by multicultural forces using “political correctness” and “social justice” to undermine white people and “their” civilization. Characterized by heavy use of social media and online memes, Alt-Righters eschew “establishment” conservatism, skew young, and embrace white ethnonationalism as a fundamental value.

    1. Stephen Bannon, Trump recently hired him for his campaign. Andrew Breitbart called him the "Leni Riefenstahl" of the Tea Party. Leni was Hitler's propagandist.
    He worked for Breitbart.
    2. Andrew Breitbart was the publisher and founded the conservative-leaning news website "Breitbart". He died Mar. 2012.
    3. The Breitbart site has been compared to Gawker and Slate---two similar sites publishing scandals of politicians, bureaucrats and organizations. It is despised by establishment Republicans, liberals, and moderates. Why? Because it deals with non-issues and misleads readers.
    4. Andrew Breitbart was call many names by protesters, including those.

  • No truth whatsoever. Pure smear campaign. They can't show a single article from Breitbart that expresses that kind of sentiment.

    They are not posting content that is, in itself, anti-muslim or anti-jews, but they are clearly trying to set the muslims and jews against each other.

    I would dispute that on the grounds of guilt by association.

    Besides, there's no such critter as a "Breitbart-person," the man is dead. There are readers of his site. Some agree with the material there, some disagree. Some agree with the material, but disagree with the conclusions. Some completely disagree outright.

    Be that as it may, no one is imbued with attributes by virtue of being there, reading posts or even passing the information on to others.

    If they are, then I'm a philosopher as a result of reading Descartes. lol
