Imagine the irony of hearing the news first from Breitbart, a hardcore Right Wing news site.

I mean this site is pretty far right IMO, and I get all of my news from here. Literally all

That's because we pretty much get all the news as it happens, literally, and it is from us that other sites get their news. You have millions of people from center to far right dropping news that affects both sides. If you go to actual news sites the stuff you see front page there is stuff we saw yesterday or is already on our front page. The Left news sites add no value to journalism. They censor and twist news, or hide it, as the image in this post shows.

Exactly. We’re like the wellspring of information. I would pick up a story lead on here, talk about it with my friends or family, and they’d be like “that’s a load of conspiracy bs” and dismiss what I say, but then 3 days later Faux picks it up with their twist, and I’m like “see, this is what I mean”, and then I’d have to deconstruct Faux’s lies to reexplain the situation. They’d ask how I knew, and I say I’m in a bunch of forums that discuss shit as it happens. They’re too ignorant, sadly, to properly wield the information sword that is Dotwin, and one look at this site and they’d probably dismiss it outright as deboooonked conspiracy mumble

Same here. I tried explaining Trumps path to victory to my parents a week after the election and it went right over their heads.

Careful. Breitbart did a big smear hit piece against Lin Wood. I'm afraid they may be compromised. Not rushing to judgement, but definitely watching them extra closely....

Yeah me too. Barely go on there anymore.
