No less discerning than the number of you who see the Washington Post as an actual news source, among many other dubious "news" brands whose primary mission is to feed and enforce the neo-liberal party line - no matter how biased or conspiratorial.

At least Breitbart doesn't employ pretend liberals on staff like the WaPo and the NYT does pretend conservatives.

This makes Breitbart much less intellectually dishonest, and less disrespectful to the collective intelligence of the nation, than either the NYT or the Washington Post who chooses to pretend to be what they are not.

Breitbart may have a tabloid presentation style (bold attention grabbing headlines), but one cannot impugn its accurate representation of the politics of the conservative base. Whereas MSM publications like the WaPo pretend to be what they are not every day of the week.

My favorite NYT and WaPo conservatives are David "served in the IDF" Brooks and Jennifer "Friend of Israel" Rubin (seriously, it says that on her Twitter profile - one would think "Friend of America" would be more appropriate given her position as a political pundit) who can't think of a larger evil than anything short of open borders but who wouldn't dream of the same for their primary concern.

So, yes, please go on thinking that your news outlets aren't pure propaganda for one party line.

The rest of the country will keep diverging from your contingent, and you'll continue to have no idea why that truly is (other than what disingenuous personalities like Brooks and Rubin attempt to convince you of, that is).

Try watching a 'Nature' program on PBS without some time in the 55 minutes hearing 'but because of climate change'.

Uh...

Vikings.

Carry on.

They should do a show about how the group that fielded the bulk of soldiers for the Union Army and the US army in WWII, the heartland Germans, are now held to be ever-potential evil nazis and co-responsible for slavery.

Guilt which is cranked up to 11 if they mention anything about meaningful immigration controls.

That would be honest of the the "History"...cough... Channel.

Must be hard trying to deal with the fact Trump is president.

What's funny is leftists demand safe spaces because words hurt their feelings, and they march down the street in large groups dressing in genitalia, shouting vulgarity to protest our president.

What happened to the History Channel? I remember watching WWII history documentaries . Documentaries about guns and actual History....

They constantly post about Trump, Russia...national gay pride... watergate...

The channel has morphed into another liberal crap channel with constant propaganda..

Here is a photo of todays propaganda....
So where do I need to go to hear conservative propaganda spewed out? Fox News?

Hey, just keep your TV set tuned to Fox News, in order to hide from liberals.

The History Chanel, Discovery, etc., have all been usurped by political leftists; and lets not forget TLC once was an informative outlet for logical reason (really, it once was).

Even the Science Chanel has become the How It's Made Chanel....zzzzz

All propaganda of some degree, imo....
Then why don't you go watch the Trinity Broadcasting Network and find out if they have been able to replace the late Paul and Jan Crouch.
