I came across these when I was checking out Snopes, the oldest reputable fact checking source on the Internet. Snopes has debunked all of the following lies (and many more) told by Breitbart:
1) Planned Parenthood ‘Teamed Up’ With Satanists to Promote Abortion Rights in Missouri!
2) Four Times More People Stabbed to Death Than Killed with Rifles!
3) Illegal Immigrants Arrested for Starting California Wildfires!
4) Scientists Caught Tampering with Raw Data to Exaggerate Sea Level Rise!
5) NFL Stops Donations to Breast Cancer and Military Charities in Order to Fund Black Lives Matter!
6) George Soros Says His Life’s Mission Is to Destroy the United States!
7) Gaza Preschoolers Perform a Mock Execution of an Israeli Soldier!
8) Ohio’s 12th Congressional District Has 170 Fraudulent ‘Voters’ Over 116 Years Old!
Number 8 is my fav lie so far, but Breitbart has told many, many more. Do you have a favorite Breitbart lie (it needn't be from the very short list above)?
Were these headlines or taken out of context and twisted ?
Still doesn’t seem to top the list of lies told by CNN and MSNBC . They told us Hillary Clinton was the best choice for President and she was going to win .

Snopes printed them as headlines, so I'm assuming that's the format of the originals.
BTW, Hillary WAS the best choice, and she did win the popular vote.

InfoWars lite. Almost pure fantasy, though BB does slip up and publish a legitimate story occasionally. That may be just to give their followers something to point to as true in order to soften up the targets of their propaganda efforts. Example #6 is News Comedy Gold. If Soros had ever uttered anything vaguely similar to that headline, it would have been around the world in two-inch type overnight. I've got fifty bucks that says if that story appears in any other publication anywhere, they are parasitic sites whose content targets BB's audience and feeds anyone who would believe such drivel using BB as their (usually anonymous) source. That story originated in the mind of an editor who needed a red meat piece for feeding time at the zoo.
There is a very real reason MSM doesn't carry the same stories as the tabloids. It has nothing to do with creativity and everything to do with verifiable, publicly searchable facts. If it is a legitimate news story, you will find a lot of different outlets carrying it, and you will be able to check it out easily. The best way to do it is to find the source documents for a story - clips from wire services, eyewitness accounts, transcriptions of speeches or testimony - something that is difficult to refute unless you are talking from a first person perspective. My journalism professors stressed the importance of as many corroborating sources as possibly for a fact piece. Opinion and commentary are entirely different realms of endeavor.
It is telling that people who quote BB and IW to support their opinions usually will not tell you what sites they use as fact checkers. If you don't check your facts, you are the kind of people P.T. Barnum was fond of - suckers.

What is your favorite egregious lie told by the Lame Steam Media?
Let's see, 1 right leaning site against dozens of LEFT leaning sites.
Oh, the horror, you can'y take a little competition!
OP, people believe what they want to believe, and that’s why stupidity is like a wild fire with acres of kindling underneath it. Impossible to put out. The NYT and CNN are “fake news” and Breitbart, Infowars, and Donald Trump are credible sources. Oh vey - what times we live in.
" she did win the popular vote." Well whoop-di-do!
And WHEN is her INAUGURATION?
When she has to PLAY BY THE RULES she LOSES!
It looks like she lost to a crook, liar, con-man, sexual predator and un-indicted co-conspirator to election campaign fraud.
A lot of people (a minority) picked the wrong person.
