>It propaganda for fascists, and a machine of hate, targeting the mental inept. Funny. I would have said the same about nearly every primary left-leaning media outlet.

There’s a big difference between the right and left here. If you’re unable to look past your petty lines drawn with colors you’d realize one is a source of shit posting and the other is a source of hate. It’s ignorance like yours that keeps progress back. But whatever...

Please don't take HN threads further into ideological flamewar, and especially please don't cross into personal attack. We ban accounts that do those things. If you'd review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and take the spirit of this site to heart, we'd be grateful.

The difference is that Brietbart isn’t just right leaning. It propaganda for fascists, and a machine of hate, targeting the mental inept.

I read Breitbart daily. Along with CNN, Fox, TheBlaze, the BBC, and RealClear Politics. It's the best way I've found to get a balanced perspective. They all lean one way or the other, you have to look at them all and triangulate to find the middle ground.

“I read the Italian Fascists daily... you have to look at them all and triangulate to find the middle ground.”

I have some bad news for you, the middle isn’t a great place.

This title is very misleading and link pay-walled. sigh https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/facebook-launches-... FB also does Buzzfeed which is a very left leaning/liberal news org. What's your point OP?
