I think the well is poisoned enough guys. It's more poison than water at this point.

Ty, is there no difference between the BBC and Alex Jones, or should reporting from one be treated equally with the reporting from the other?

So that means poisoned well guy never has anything worthwhile to say?

In Alex Jones' case, I'm absolutely certain there is not.

Yeah, because he's fat right?

Why do you keep reiterating the phrase "poisoned well" / "poisoning the well" as some kind of catch-all? I think we all understand the difference between fallaciously poisoning the well and demonstrating lack of credibility.

Ty, you do realize this is not "poisoning the well" since Breitbart / Alex Jones / Prison Planet being propaganda outlets is entirely relevant to the question of their usage as a source for information, right?

Because the last day or so has been nothing but shitting on Breitbart or other conservative news in an effort to shut anything down that comes from those sources. It's very lazy, like fat people.

FAT?

WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN FAT. HES BEEN USING THE BEST POSSIBLE WEIGHT LOSS SUPPLEMENT THAT YOU NEED TO BUY SO HE CAN CONTINUE FILMING HIS SHOW

45 DAYS AND YOU'LL TURN FUCKING ORANGE AND TIGHT!

You realize you're asserting an ad hominem with an ad hominem right?

Again, I just ask that you think about the question I posed to you (you don't have to answer): Is there a difference between the BBC and Alex Jones?

I must've missed this joke?

Well yeah, Alex Jones doesn't broadcast Sherlock as far as i'm aware?

In Alex Jones' case, I'm absolutely certain there is not.

You think he's never gotten anything right?

A year ago, breitbart.com ranked 800th globally in web traffic, and today it ranks 294th.

A year ago, foxnews.com ranked 200th globally in web traffic, and today it ranks 265th.

The migration of conservative viewers to more extreme sites is a little bit scary. I don't think there's an analogous thing happening on the left, but maybe I'm wrong.

(In case you're wondering why I'm looking at global traffic, alexa doesn't seem to provide free historical data for US traffic, only for global traffic)

Almost all of their traffoc is from facebook redirects on clickbait articles that are rewrites of other sources. The average visit time is 3 minutes.

Youre worrying too much.

I'm not sure where you're getting this information.

According to alexa,

4.5% of breitbart viewers came from facebook, 4.5% of foxnews viewers came from facebook

Average daily time on site is 5:32 for breitbart, average daily time on site is 5:20 for foxnews

I'm open to any evidence that suggests the rise of the alt-right is overstated; I'd be thrilled if that were the case. But I don't see any here, unless you have a different source with more accurate data.

Ill have to find the source from the last time i discussed this.

In any event, you can manipulate numbers like this. I woild do this regularly when selling websites. Brietbart would have motive to do so considering they sell ad space. Not guaranteeing they do.
