Getting mad at Breitbart for making up crap is like getting mad at the Enquirer for their latest Bigfoot or Alien abduction story.

There is little comparison to Fox and a website like that.

Or perhaps you're mixing them up with an even larger network.

Keep up the sniveling divisive accusations about your fellow Americans, and you'll lose more elections like last week. People are sick of it.

Yeah, there's a difference between on-air speculation prior to release of the proper information that turns out to be incorrect later on that the network then corrects, and reporting blatant falsehoods like Breitbart does shamelessly.

MSNBC did it. It wasn't even a matter of a breaking news debacle either. They intentionally edited a tape to fit their narrative. Guess that puts MSNBC in the same league as the other lower tier junk - like Breitbart, Media Matters, and all of that partisan noise.

Of course, you might well ask whether breitbart is serious journalism, and all I can say is, *they* sure like to think so.

Serious journalism has been dead since shortly after Watergate........and it is clearly not coming back from the dead.

I'm surprised they did not confuse her with Loretta Lynn.

Guess they did not read what Republicans had to say about her. She's well-respected and not partisan. The extremists are going to have to really stretch to find something to bash.

"She's absolutely not a partisan lawyer," said Julie Myers Wood, CEO at Guidepost Solutions and one of Lynch's first hires as a federal prosecutor. "I am a Republican, but she doesn't care if people are Republicans or Democrats. She cares about getting the job done."

"Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-South Carolina, told CNN's Dana Bash that Lynch "seems to be a solid choice" and is qualified. Graham said he doesn't have any problems with her being confirmed in the lame-duck session, noting that other Cabinet picks have been approved during such periods."

Agreed. Its why I don't trust them as a good news source either.

Breitbart is racist... Breitbart is color blind...

Decide already!

And you act like both are a crime.
