- Breitbart of the left? You mean DailyKos? - IrishStephen Dec 6, 12:21 7
  - I get that on the right you feel the need for there to be a left equivalent to everything, but let's be serious here. Breitbart is a different animal -- nm - pmb Dec 6, 12:41
  - No, MSNBC - Strongbad Dec 6, 12:30 5
    - Oh please. Let's play the game of false equivalents again. - pmb Dec 6, 12:39 3

        Wouldn;t the MediaMatters, DailyKos, etc equivalents be RedState, Daily Caller, etc? -- nm - Roger More Dec 6, 12:55
        
        I don't read media matters, but that description sounds nothing like what Breitbart does (which is to create conservative misinformation). The left -- (edited) - pmb Dec 6, 12:43

Honestly, if Time does anyone but Trump as Person of the Year they're just trolling. - spamlet Dec 6, 11:35 18
