Ok, new poliboard rule: No one is allowed to link WaPo as real news ever again. They have Sasquatches for writers. This moron on Tucker is proof. If you link WaPo, you are a joke.

Fine.

As long as you add infowars, Breitbart, the gateway Pundit, and the conservative Treehouse.

Breitbart posts plenty of true stories that the rest of the "real media" ignores.

That is a horse shite racket. If it does not appear in our slanted outlets it is not real!

Breitbart and CT are pretty legit. They have broke real news stories before and report on actual events even though it has a conservative opinion slant.

WaPo used to be the same way with a liberal slant but lately they have gone off the deep end along with the New York Times and CNN

So "plenty" of real stories is our standard now?

Washington Post provides plenty of real stories too. You know that whole Rolling Stone lie; they were the ones who really started the investigation into the validity of the claims and the poor reporting.

So again, I'm one with Breitbart (better than the other ones I listed), but if Wapo is fake and can't be sources, then neither can they.

Breitbart has some legit people, but some are terrible. They used to be car better though.

CT is just a crappy blog by some random guy who was apparently some random Publix employee before starting it (I don't know if that means management or a grocery bagger). They don't really post actual breaking news or investigation, besides Internet sleuthing.

WaPo gets linked about 1000x more than those sites.

And it's at or below their level of credibility

Breitbart is spreading the same unsourced bullshite that yall attack MSM of doing.

But it's ok, because Bannon using Matt Boyle to spread unsubstantiated rumors to assist in his power struggle against WH opponents is different

Freedom of the press does not protect one from us. We the people will arse rape and destroy WaPo.

It's time to stop granting rights to those who use them to frick us over.

Execute them all.

Breitbart is pretty popular. And Josh Norris likes to remind us time and time again.

Regardless, Washington Post is a legitimate source. Of course, some of their journalists may be subpar, and they have their biases, but it's not some publication littered with poor journalism.

WaPo obviously leans heavily left. Their articles are often littered with skewed facts and confirmation bias.

I'd say they're all garbage to varying degrees.
