Breitbart

Something is going on at Breitbart News that makes no sense. No, I'm not talking about the usual hoards of liberal trolls who post there using multiple accounts solely to mock, insult and wreak havoc. I'm talking about Breitbart censoring or banning readers who don't violate its' terms and conditions for posting. Perfectly good comments often get instantly removed. Comments that DO violate site policy are often allowed to remain. I looked at Breitbart today. Dozens of "regulars" who posted there just a couple of months ago - people who left comments that were funny, thoughtful, insightful, pointed, etc., without violating policy are no longer there. They were banned, or chose to leave because of Breitbart's behavior.

In addition to removing good comments and banning good readers, Breitbart has a list of "forbidden" words that can't be used in comments. You can say, "Trump isn't anti-semitic, he supports Jewish people", but you can't say the same thing using the word "Jews". You can say, "The hunter killed a protected animal" but you can't say, "No hunter should kill a protected animal" because the word "kill" is forbidden. At one time (not sure about now), the personal names "Val" and "Soros" couldn't be used.

Wanting a comments venue that is respectful and community-oriented is one thing. Imposing ridiculous restrictions, bias, and punishments on readers who come TO Breitbart for a sense of community is another. According to Disqus, which provides the commenting venue, it's moderators who work for Breitbart who remove comments and ban readers, not Disqus. Shame on Breitbart for all of this. I once got banned from the ABC News comments section after stating (in response to an article) that non-whites have historically engaged in slavery too, that slavery wasn't solely a "white thing". I expected more from Breitbart, which censors or bans readers who otherwise AGREE with it.

Right wing mind control. Quality mind control propaganda at it's best! They will spin stories so far to the right it borderlines a religious police state bordering KKK.

I think they are a paid government ops to make anybody who questions them a white racist as they only allow the extremist comments to show up.

The only positive side is that it is one of a few sites left that hasn't jumped to the dumb tablet UI which those sites look AWFUL on a computer with a large monitor.

With Wikileaks exposing most of the Main Stream Media as working towards Clinton winning the election and getting debate questions directly from the DNC, Breitbart is a breath of fresh air. Obviously biased towards the conservative side, it still manages to show stories that aren't necessarily favorable to Republicans. The rest of the MSM is rabidly anti-Trump and have stepped beyond Fox's former extreme bias into the territory of purely fake news and fictitious stories with no references or sources.

In shadows deep, where darkness roams,
There lies a tale of a troubled soul,
A man named Andrew, lost and forlorn,
A haunting memory of a life torn.

In days of yore, when chaos spread,
A Nazi's path young Andrew tread,
With venomous words and twisted creed,
He wandered blindly, consumed by greed.

Yet, hidden beneath his fascist guise,
A secret whispered, a truth that lies,
Within his veins, a craving grew,
A hunger for a white powder's hue.

Cocaine's embrace, a devil's touch,
Infused his spirit, demanded much,
The highs it promised, the lows it gave,
A dance of addiction, a downward cave.

Within his dreams, he heard the screams,
Echoes of innocent lives torn at the seams,
The horrors he'd witnessed, the pain he'd caused,
Drowned in a haze of cocaine's applause.

But in the silence of his restless nights,
Andrew glimpsed shards of forgotten lights,
A glimmer of remorse, a spark of grace,
A yearning to break free from this cursed race.

With trembling hands and weakened frame,
He fought against the grip of shame,
Seeking redemption amidst the strife,
To transcend the darkness that clouded his life.

In moments fleeting, his heart confessed,
To the atrocities he once professed,
A repentant soul, he sought to mend,
The wounds inflicted, a chance to transcend.

But time, relentless, did not wait,
Andrew met his untimely fate,
No absolution could he embrace,
In death's embrace, his sins efface.

Now his story stands, a cautionary tale,
Of the human spirit's frailty and travail,
In the depths of evil, a glimmer can shine,
Yet for Andrew, it came too late, time malign.

So let us remember the choices we make,
And the souls we touch with each step we take,
May Andrew's legacy forever remind,
That redemption's pursuit should never be confined.
