BREITBART ARTICLE CALLING PIZZAGATE AN OUTLANDISH CONSPIRACY THEORY (pizzagate)

submitted ago by catslovejustice

Has anyone seen this Breitbart article dated 12.5.2016 that was regarding the pizzagate conspiracy/gunman? http://www.breitbart.com/news/man-fires-gun-in-d-c-restaurant-while-investigating-pizzagate-conspiracy/ Someone had posted it on twitter and it was the first time I had ever seen it.

The article uses the following words to describe the theory: outlandish, baseless, not based on anything factual, unsubstantiated, and rumor. It's as if they go out of their way like the MSM to call it fake news without actually saying it.

I did some more googling and found this Breitbart article dated 12.6.2016: http://www.breitbart.com/news/son-of-trump-advisor-booted-after-pizzagate/

In this article, pizzagate is described as: wild conspiracy theories, fake stories, fake news story. This time Breitbart is calling it fake news and is dismissive toward General Flynn and his son and their pizzagate related tweets.

Victurus Libertas did a video about Breitbart News and pizzagate. Shows Lee Stranahan (an author at Breitbart) calling pizzagate a crock of $hit, bad journalism, embarrassing debacle. Lee Stranahan describes himself this way on twitter "I am Steve Bannon's favorite investigative reporter. Andrew Breitbart's too." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wM38BeQ9DQE

For some reason I thought Breitbart News had been mum on pizzagate. Didn't realize that they were like MSM on this subject especially after Andrew Breitbart's tweet about John Podesta. https://twitter.com/andrewbreitbart/status/33636278100561920?lang=en

I'm getting a bit concerned. Breitbart is not on board. Both Flynns gets fired over it http://www.infowars.com/hillary-clinton-mike-flynn-targeted-over-exposing-pizzagate/t . Supposedly Pence's best friend/former best friend is a pedo and Trump's Labor Sec Pick gave a sweetheart deal to Epstein. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/labor-pick-acosta-gave-sweetheart-deal-sex-offender-epstein-article-1.2975065

Please tell me I am reading this wrong.

Breitbart uses a lot of news aggregators to populate their site. Same way that newspapers use AP and Reuters to fill out their papers.

The top two articles are from UPI ( http://www.upi.com/ ) and AFP ( https://www.afp.com/en/home ) not their own reporters.

But the rest seems accurate.

Thank you. I thought that was the case but wasn't sure. I would think that someone at Breitbart is reviewing the articles from UPI and AFP before posting them.

I mean, I would hope they look at what they post before they publish it. So maybe the fact they even used pre-packaged reporting means they endorsed that view.
