I wasn't going to tackle this but wth. What we've got here...It goes back to me being in my own world in a sense. I don't think like anyone I've ever known. When Howey phrased 'his followers' it didn't make sense to me because I don't follow anything. It's hard for me to imagine that people would proclaim themselves Glenn Beck fans for instance. Didn't like him on the left, didn't like him on the right and now that he's probably going to be imitating Alex Jones, I still won't like him.
In other words I try to have news stories pass the smell test on their own merit, meaning that I don't think in terms of an entire site being wrong or right.
that's fine... but in some cases, yes, the entire site is FOS....in Breitbart case, He makes so many things up and he uses people who alter and edit to make so many things up that how can you believe
anything on his site?
and there are people..with so much hate in them, that when they read anything that justifies that hate, whether it's real or not..they 'follow' it..because it gives them comfort to have any reason out there, no matter how outrageous and false, to feel justified and correct in their anger and hatred..
