- sergiotapia 10y agoDuh whatever Google and Facebook deem to be real news of course. The Ministry of Truth will root out all these evil white supremacist sites like Breitbart and Fox News. I long for the day when only Salon and Slate are considered sources of truth.
- andrepd 10y agoRisible tirades like these is why people don't take you seriously.
- nindalf 10y agoI've heard of Breitbart. Isn't that the site that encouraged people to "hoist the Confederate flag high and proud" because the Confederacy was a "patriotic and idealistic cause"? Same one right?
- sergiotapia 10y agoThat's the one! Breitbart is all about killing foreigners and hating non-white people, right?
- mark_edward 10y agoWell that's what the Confederacy was about.

- vedranm 10y agoThat's a very good point. I love seeing how many people on HN assume that, if everyone had access to the knowledge they have, everyone would vote D. Which isn't true and which is precisely the reason why R won. Furthermore, Pew Research has shown a lead of 9 points for D in college-educated population, which isn't very impressive given the dominance of liberalism at colleges. Overall, it's a hard problem.
