You could say this for a ton of MSNBC and Fox News articles. Should they also be banned as fake news?
People in this thread generally aren't saying Breitbart should be considered a reputable source for anything; in fact I'd bet most of the Breitbart defenders in here are leftists or at least not far-right like Breitbart. I'm saying there shouldn't be calls for it to be censored in any way. Censorship is extremely dangerous; far, far more dangerous than Breitbart publishing their silly headlines.
- justinlaster 10y agoLiterally no one is calling for censorship.
- rudolf0 10y ago>Why should we turn a blind eye to a source that continually posts provably fake and completely contrived news stories? I interpreted your statement here to mean you should group it along with other fake news distributors and which Facebook and Twitter are now beginning to block. If you didn't mean that, then I apologize.
