"Let’s measure Breitbart. Do they have an integrity policy? No. Can’t modify it openly if they don’t have one, so another point against.
Do they issue corrections? Here’s a (false) article that remains on their site uncorrected, not even a note from the Editor. It is one of many. However, they do issue the rare correction. Bizarrely they seem to be mostly when they’ve upset another far-right website.
The rest - citing sources, being very specific about it via links and specific people you could follow up with, and agreeing with those sources’ total characterization - are reflected on well by looking at this fact-check of another false story on Breitbart. The article pretends the date is years different from the original article, and asserts multiple facts that are disputed by the original article. They do at least link to a source this time, but it’s common to find articles where they do not.
Conclusion: As news sources go, they’re somewhere around the bottom of the barrel. There are sites out there that have only false stories, so, they’re not the bottom. Just, very near it."
Well it seems there are alt-sites that have a problem with facts. Surprise, surprise. Accuracy is not defined by political party.
