I was curious how two stories in the news this week are being reported on Breitbart.Com, so I hopped on over to the alt-right romper room where news categories range from "big government" to "big journalism" (no "big religion" as yet).
Breitbart's chairman, Stephen K. Bannon, also runs Donald Trump's campaign.
First I searched for Scott M. Greene, accused of assassinating two police officers in Des Moines and Urbandale, Ill.
Nothing on the home page. A search for "Greene" turned up a cursory article with very little text and two embedded videos, as well as a (broken) link to a story in a local paper. Nowhere was it mentioned that he was a Trump supporter thrown out of a football game a few days ago for waving a Confederate flag around in front of a bunch of black students.
I then searched for news about the Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church in Jackson, Miss., which was nearly burned to the ground Tuesday by arsonists who wrote "Vote Trump" on an outside wall.
Nothing on the home page. A search for "Jackson" turned up articles about Andrew Jackson and the $20 bill. A search for "Hopewell" brings up news about vandals breaking the window of a home flying a Confederate flag in Hopewell, Va.
There is nothing on the site about the destruction of the church.
