    Well, if the article is accurate I’ll share it. I don’t care what the TLD is, truth is truth.

      I think you should care what the TLD is, so that you don’t promote Nazi propaganda websites

        lol

        The Poisoning The Well fallacy is a convenient way to dismiss inconvenient truths at times. I more often see this on the right than the left, as denigration of “the media” such as CNN and MSNBC gives them an excuse to ignore or disbelieve any legitimate journalism that they do. But people on the left do it as well. It’s not just you, plenty of others here on Lemmy have made similar complaints.

        In the end, I do not care, but I do make observations of comments like yours.

          You say that like this is the only website reporting on this story.

          If you were highlighting a specific point that you thought Breitbart was including, which the other ones conspicuously left out, then that’s fine; but as it stands, you’re literally doing free promotion for a Nazi propaganda platform and positioning it as journalistically comparable to CNN or MSNBC
