Breitbart News

Moved from User talk:Mx. Granger – —Granger (talk · contribs) 13:44, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

Hi, Mx. Granger – good evening! I just saw your update on Alfredo Beltrán Leyva regarding Breitbart News as a source. Is there a way we can use Breitbart as a source on Misplaced Pages, or is it an absolute no? I'm asking because from what I've read, Breitbart News can be used, as long as it doesn't involve politically sensitive/defaming information. I didn't know Breitbart News existed until a South Texas journalist from The Monitor was hired there. In my opinion, they have a pretty good Mexican Drug War section for a U.S. media outlet, and their editor is an expert in the Gulf Cartel and Los Zetas. The articles include "ground" information not often seen in Mexican newspapers either because organized crime has a tight grip on the local press. Is there a way we can include Breitbart News if we exercise some caution? Thanks. ComputerJA (☎ • ✎) 04:07, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for the message. From past discussions at RSN, there seems to be consensus that Breitbart is not a reliable source for straightforward statements of fact. That discussion doesn't seem to mention the Mexican Drug War as an exception, and I have to imagine Breitbart's coverage of that topic would have the same problems (like exaggerating and twisting the facts) as their coverage of other topics. —Granger (talk · contribs) 13:44, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
That is a really old discussion. Maybe consensus has changed? I suggest elevation on this as well as Stealth banning. Time for another Long TalkEndercase (talk) 22:04, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
