Better track record?

On what axis? This stuff isn't single-dimensional.

Yeah, Buzzfeed may produce a lot more stuff, and maybe also a lot of fake stuff. However how much of that is harmless fluff versus hate speech and incitement to violence?

Also, frankly, looking at buzzfeed, i question that even on the dimension of truth/lie they fare worse than breitbart, particularly when normalizing against the total post count.



I rarely if ever have seen outright lies and propaganda on Buzzfeed, and I do see those things from Breitbart regularly. And now they also provide serious, top-notch coverage of a lot of serious news. There is no comparison between them and Breitbart.
