FoxNews and Brietbart are 2 sides of the same coin. They are right/far-right propaganda outlets, who's only aim is political discord. They will use fake or blown out of proportion or Pumped up editorial "news" segments to spread their message to serve an agenda. These bots help their message spread. Any guess who's agenda they serve?

Maybe it's justified. There's some big fear mongering and public shaming by the MSM against conservatives, especially lately.

Spare me "the Donald" reddit thread. You dont think in light of certain facts thats conservatives and fascists masquerading as conservatives getting heat is justified?
