James Comey and Loretta Lynch to be investigated

[Mountain Man]

This should qualify. It's even appropriate to this thread.

An understandable error considering that both women share identical names, professions, and party affiliations, and Breitbart did the responsible thing and quickly admitted their error. So good job, you found one example, but it's not particularly damning, is it?

But in this case, I'm sure they're talking about the right Loretta Lynch.

It's "an example of Breitbart publishing a story with significant, factual errors".

Using that example as a standard, we can equally condemn the NYT, Washington Post, etc. This isn't even a smoking gnu.

Here is an Interesting article on Breitbart: https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...ortmund-church

seems more interesting that the Guardian is the one distorting (downplaying) what happened.

Here is the breitbart article:

http://www.breitbart.com/london/2017...church-alight/
Which reported:
It even has the video of the guys chanting "Allah Akbar"

and the original German articles say (translated from german):

http://www1.wdr.de/nachrichten/ruhrg...tmund-100.html

From a large group of around 1,000 people the fireworks were thrown into the crowd and police officers after midnight. The officials found personal details, gave place orders, and took individual persons into custody. The group consisted not only of men, but also of families with children. Also a larger group of North Africans was controlled. Already one o'clock before, the crowd had split up again into small groups and went over the main station in different directions.

First signs of a restless night the federal police on New Year's Eve already at 18.35 clock, when a New Year's Eve rocket was shot in a group of homeless people and a 32-year-old seriously injured (see entry 11.23 clock). At 7 pm, a group of men fired a number of luminaires from the Katharinenstrasse to the main station. The men were checked, pyrotechnics ensured. 25 minutes later, several suspects protested against federal police officers and offended them with the words "**** you" and "**** police". Similar incidents were repeated over and over again.

Federal police spokesman Volker Stall said that from 6.45 pm large groups of people with up to 300 men had stayed in and at the main station, then entered closed in trains in the direction Rhineland. At 2.25, 400 persons from a regional expedition, which had driven from the Rhineland to Dortmund.

Sounds like the Breitbart article was accurate.

Not saying your post is wrong Sparko, but the final quote needs a bit of censoring, which I guess you missed...

Good grief.

The election and FBI investigation into Clinton have long been over. It went on for a year and half and in the end, it cost her the presidency.

Why does that mean it should be dropped? Investigations often take much longer than this.

If the anti-Breitbart posters on this site keep bringing up obvious distortions like this, I might start turning to Breitbart as a trusted news source.

They allow either so many total views, or so many views per month (I forget which) before you get the paywall notice.

If you use Chrome, right-click the link and select "Open in incognito window". Firefox has a similar option. This blocks the cookies they use to keep track of the number of visits you've had this month, and so brings up the page as if it were your first visit.

It's already been done and the FBI couldn't find enough evidence to bring a criminal case against Clinton, so that's that. Her reckless behavior was made public, by the FBI and she lost the election because of it.

And remember your sentiments for how long Mueller takes in his probe.

headline of the story. http://www.breitbart.com/london/2017...church-alight/one firework . Does that equal "a mob of more than 1,000 men" who "set fire to a historic church"? (A rather extreme form of guilt by association?) It could be the case that the Guardian downplayed the case. But we don't need their interpretation to see that this is an exaggeration, do we? And what does German police say:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world...=.2b7d355a686e

http://www.ruhrnachrichten.de/staedt...art930,3187550

These are just a few interesting aspects of it. One could mention quite a lot more. So it seems in the cases mentioned that there is not much more to the statements about what happened than there is to the statement that it was Germany's oldest church.

Because maybe, just maybe, it wasn't the Russians.

You talked about "an example of Breitbart publishing a story with significant, factual errors", and that's what I provided. If it's not good enough, it's only because you're trying to shift the goalposts.

It was never meant to be.

Oh, and feel free to condemn the NYT, WaPo etc to the same extent as my condemnation of Breitbart here.
