I may be missing the bigger picture here, but it seems like you could simultaneously believe these two things. Even if you're a conservative who believes most mainstream media is biased towards liberals, isn't there a clear difference between say, Breitbart, which is a right-wing news/opinion site, and the recent flood of WordPress blogs set up by teenagers in Bulgaria that pump out outright fabricated clickbait news for money? Why would right-wing politics require you to defend the latter?

Why would it require you to defend the former? Because they have a brand name doesn't make them any more truthful, and they have a long track record of hate and lies.

  ...and they have a long track record of hate and lies. So does every left-leaning outlet. See what I did there?

    > So does every left-leaning outlet / See what I did there? I see you typed some letters in a comment box. But doing that that doesn't create truth or fact. What separates real knowledge from a string of letters?
