FR Management should ban posts from Breitbart

Posted on 04/24/2016 2:58:24 AM PDT by markomalley

I've started to see Breitbart host more and more pro-Cruz propaganda items on their sites. If they're going to continue posting anti-Trump lies and deception, they should go the way of "Right Scoop" and not be allowed to be posted on this site.

For example, this morning I come across a scurrilous piece by Dr Susan Berry, Donald Trump Foundation Donated $20K to Public School LGBT Activist Group GLSEN. Not saying that it's true, but even if it was, since when would Donald Trump have day-to-day management control on each and every donation made. Besides, it was 4 years ago. What relevance is this to today?

This just shows that it may not be a reliable news source any longer. I think articles from this source should be banned from FR.

It wasn't just this piece, though this one pushed me to post the above vanity. Yesterday, two other pieces were posted that gave me pause:

Breitbart used to be reliable, but it looks like they may have been bought off.

The remedy for speech you don’t like is not to ban the speech — that’s so North Korea — it’s more speech. Only governments can violate 1A rights, but c’mon, man, get with the program and support your position, not try to silence someone else’s.

Ribbit :(

Beat me to it.

Huffpo and salon still get posted, and I *detest* those sites. However, it’s up to me not to bother to read the posts.

At least until after the election, we are all aboard the Trump Train. We The People have spoken and he is the man who is going to be the nominee and the only one in a position to defeat the Hildabeast. Pieces from sources that don't fully support our candidate only help one party in this upcoming election: the wrong party.

[Note that I say this as a person who does not like Trump and who would never vote for him in a primary, but who recognizes that what must be done must be done in order to achieve the goal of keeping her out of the WH]

This isn't about free speech. This is about being in campaign mode until after the election is done and over with.

Breitbart is the reason I installed an ad blocker. That site has been declining in quality for years. There’s really nothing of interest there anymore regardless of their point of view.

The difference between HuffPo and Breitbart is that HuffPo makes no bones about where they're coming from. Breitbart allows this stuff to sneak in behind a thin veneer of supporting Trump. When one reads HuffPo, you KNOW you're reading libtard propaganda. One might not recognize that he's reading globalist propaganda when reading Breitbart.

That's exactly right.

Not until after November.

“This isn’t about free speech. This is about being in campaign mode until after the election is done and over with.”

OK, this may ZOT me, because I know what J-Rob has said.

This is conservative discussion, right? I’ll vote for the nominee, damn right I will.

I used to be a Cruz fan, now I’m not because of his actions, but I’m not a Trump fan either because he makes me want to vomit.

I’ll still vote for him.

Why do we have to suspend free speech? Do you think anything, ANYTHING, written on this here FR will change the mind of a lib? I don’t.

FR management should ban any article fom any source that has information about Trumps past that could stress out his snowflakes, then rename this site TrumpRepublic.

Hardly. But we are in campaign mode now. And the point is that in campaign mode, you don't allow talk that goes against your candidate. This is no different than a company's public relations office wanting to tightly control the message coming out of the company.
