Breitbart is full of ****

So I saw an article about "423 new mosques in London"

I scan through their dumb article for a source. Their source is *surpsie surprise* another website.

I look through the source on this other website for a citation on this impressive "423 new mosques", and their source was, guess what... just a list of every single mosque in London, built 50 years ago or 5 days ago.

These fake news websites are pathetic and disgusting. They will literally post false facts to suit their agenda.

My goodness that's horrific. Especially when you consider the fact that no other news outlet has ever done something similar with statistics to support their own biased agenda.

Technically it's not fake news. They didn't say anything that was false, since the word new is subjective. Some people might say 50 years is a long time ago, others might say in the history of the uk that's quite a short time for so many mosques to be built and so many churches to be closed.

OMG!

Run, run away!

Imagine, a media outlet spinning information to suit its own agenda!

Never in the history of mankind has an event like this happened before!

If only all the media could be like the BBC or the Guardian and never slant the news to suit their agenda.

Well, its not technically wrong. They don't claim that they were built in the last year or so.

Not really much more misleading than one should expect from the media. Surprised anyone has faith in the media these days.

People have faith in whatever outlet that writes what they want to hear.

Buddy, there's a difference between heavily biased news and fake news. Breitbart literally lied saying that 423 new mosques were built in London.

Did they define new?

It seems like always it is the media twisting things to suit their argument

The word 'new' is indeed misleading.

However, relatively speaking, the mosques are a recent feature in the city and are 'new' compared to the churches being closed down. Maybe that's what they meant.

Anyhow, this wordplay is no different from that of other ideologically-driven news outlets. You're just more likely to take notice when it's the 'other side' doing it.
