Let me tell you why I believe the polls… Because in 2016, the polls were accurate. No, not the state polls. The state polls were way off. The average of the national polls, however, was almost exactly correct. President Trump lost the national popular vote in 2016 by 2.1 points — and just barely beat Hillary Clinton.

“On Behalf of Environmentalists, I Apologise for the Climate Scare,” said an article published in Forbes magazine by Mike Shellenberger. At least it did, till Forbes caved to furious green activists and pulled it within hours of publication. By arguing that climate change is real – but “not the end of the world” and “not even our most serious environmental problem,” Shellenberger had been found guilty of wrongthink.

The obscure British group that nearly forced Google to drop ads on The Federalist is continuing its efforts to demonetize American conservative media outlets it accuses of publishing inflammatory or racist content. The Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), founded in 2019 by Labour party organizers, put out a call for donations Tuesday after NBC News reported that Google was poised to ban The Federalist and Zero Hedge, a libertarian-leaning website, from making money off of Google Ads. CCDH’s affiliate, “Stop Funding Fake News,” claimed on Wednesday that it had pressured Ford, the auto maker, to consider dropping ads on...

*** The second solution is the one we are promoting because it’s the only one that can actually work. Republicans and conservatives need to stop acknowledging that the NY Times exists. Seriously. Any calls from reporters seeking comments should be ignored. Any stories they publish, regardless of topic, should not be discussed in public or even in private. This radical publication is pandering to the radical left with all of their actions and therefore there is no need for a Republican to ever give them the time of day. If someone like Tom Cotton published his op-ed on Breitbart, Townhall,...

Researchers in Australia report that Ivermectin, an FDA-approved drug commonly used to treat parasites, appears to be effective in treating the SARS-COV-2 coronavirus (COVID-19). The drug is widely available and can be “repurposed” for this application, doctors said. The ScienceDirect journal, Antiviral Research, published an article by a group of Australian researchers from Monash University in Melbourne reporting that Ivermectin appears to be effective at inhibiting the coronavirus that causes COVID-19. The article states: Ivermectin is an inhibitor of the COVID-19 causative virus (SARS-CoV-2) in vitro. A single treatment able to effect ∼5000-fold reduction in virus at 48h in cell...

Airline passengers flying into Baltimore Washington International Airport (BWI) can look down and see a new, bold, controversial political sign in the days leading up to Maryland Republican primary. A giant orange “TRUMP” sign is on the roof of a house directly under the approach for BWI. Donald Trump has a double digit lead in the Republican primary in Maryland, but the blue state is making many of his supporters hide their vote. But one retired police detective decided to fight back– in a “yuge” way — after his 12-year old daughter was bullied at school for backing the billionaire...

In Memoriam… Eight years ago today we lost Andrew Breitbart. Three weeks before his death he delivered a message that still resonates today.

Here are the third annual Breitbart News Awards for fake news and overall bias and bad behavior. The low-lights are endless, but if they’re still not enough for you, here are the awards from 2017 and 2018.

The New York Post named the suspected “whistleblower” — Eric Ciaramella — in a column published by the newspaper’s editorial board and called for the partisan CIA analyst to answer questions about his knowledge regarding allegations of corruptions against former Vice President Joe Biden, and his son, Hunter Biden.

Breitbart at Rep. Weiner's press conference. Published on Jun 6, 2011 In Full: Andrew Breitbart came forward at Rep. Anthony Weiner's New York City press conference to defend himself against allegations claiming he hacked the congressman's Twitter account.

He tweeted,... "The entire media is Triggered that I (a private citizen) tweeted out a story naming the alleged whistleblower. Are they going to pretend that his name hasn’t been in the public domain for weeks now? Numerous people & news outlets including Real Clear Politics already ID’d him." Alleged ‘Whistleblower’ Eric Ciaramella Worked Closely with Anti-Trump Dossier Hoaxer," Trump Jr. tweeted. Trump Jr. later pushed back on the claim that his tweet was a part of an effort to out the whistleblower in conjunction with the White House. “The outrage on this is BS. And those pretending that I...

But the site has always resisted the temptation to build anything beyond the simplest business of selling display advertising on a single homepage. Now, Drudge has quietly flipped the switch on perhaps the biggest change he’s ever made: He’s ditched his longtime advertising partner for a new representative, in the process revealing new details about his business and attracting scrutiny of how his site operates ... Margaret Otto declined to discuss her company’s plans for Drudge Report or Refdesk ...

The Los Angeles Police Department has opened an inquiry after a recruitment ad went up on the right-wing website Breitbart, saying such a job listing would conflict with the department’s “core values.” Critics have repeatedly accused Breitbart of running racist and sexist content over the past decade, pointing to articles with such headlines as “The Smartest People in the World Are All Men,” “Birth Control Makes Women Unattractive and Crazy,” and “Data: Young Muslims Are a Ticking Time Bomb in the West.”

VANITY— . OPINION: Just an observation here: it seems to me, that BREITBART is now devoted to “celebrity ‘News’,” rather than the real news. All celebs all the time.... If I want to know what’s actually happening, the true news, I tune in here—to, FreeRepublic.Com .

Jamie Riley, the dean of students at the University of Alabama, has resigned a day after Breitbart published a story highlighting tweets from the dean contending police are racist and other controversial statements.

Beto O'Rourke's presidential campaign removed a Breitbart News reporter from a campaign event in South Carolina on Tuesday, saying that while it believed in the right to a free press it was drawing an exception with the right-wing outlet. “Beto for America believes in the right to a free press and works hard to ensure the campaign reflects that,” O’Rourke’s national press secretary Aleigha Cavalier said in a statement. “However, whether it’s dedicating an entire section of their website to ‘black crime,’ inferring that immigrants are terrorists, or using derogatory terms to refer to LGBTQ people, Breitbart News walks the...

ALL of the stories on Breitbart this morning are stripped of their comments. Is Breitbart following the trend of other sites and eliminating comments? Then it would be a boring site indeed.
