Article has it right in opening paragraph, "conservative journalist"... Later in article he is called far right. This is wrong. 2603:6081:7600:1D00:388D:625E:9345:6AB0 (talk) 01:52, 21 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

If the reliable sources call him or his sites far-right, that's what we say here. We don't include original research. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 02:15, 21 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Some or Many. Journalists and academics don't all have the same opinion.

"....far-right news and opinion website, which has been described as misogynistic, xenophobic, and racist by academics and journalists."

"far-right news and opinion website, which has been described as misogynistic, xenophobic, and racist by SOME ? MANY academics and journalists."

Not every journalist in the world has the same opinion surely? 82.31.108.103 (talk) 11:44, 6 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

Agreed. This implies consensus among journalists in an age of very partisan perspectives and smacks of the perspective of Andrew’s detractors. Wikipedia just isn’t the place for political spin zones. Leave that for Reddit and X. 2600:100B:B12A:678E:E91E:DE74:790D:56B2 (talk) 17:23, 20 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

"Politics is downstream from culture" is not "Breitbart Doctrine". It's a Don Eberly quote.

Latest comment: 3 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Don Eberly, deputy director of the White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives under George W. Bush, is quoted with coming up with that line back in 2001, the quote predating Breitbart News to which the "doctrine" is associated, by four years.

"The truth, as social commentator Don Eberly has rightly noted, is that “politics is downstream from the culture.”"

Breitbart might have stolen the quote and used it without attribution and may have even claimed he came up with it - but it is neither an original idea nor is it is his idea. ~2026-26824-65 (talk) 20:46, 3 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
