Breitbart News Caught Using Pic of Cavaliers Victory Parade to Pump Trump Rally

Donald Trump propaganda site Breitbart News, formerly the gold standard in conservative news, was desperately trying to pump the appearance of a Trump campaign rally in Jacksonville, Florida.

So much so, that Breitbart (which really should change its name to “Trumpbart” in order to shield the name of the late, great Tea Party activist Andrew Breitbart) posted a picture of the massive crowd of the Cleveland Cavalier’s NBA championship victory parade as an indication of how well-attended a Donald Trump campaign rally was in Jacksonville, Florida.

So much for the: look at the crowds, look at the crowd’s argument. If Donald Trump is so conservative why are his supporters using typical leftist tactics to get him elected.

Andrew would be pissed!

Prava, ABC,Briebart, NBS,CBS,Fox, CNN, MSNBC, Drudge, all our the same now.

Find a political ideology and do everything you can to make the narrative fit your viewpoint, and lie if you have to, right or left.

When 5-6 companies own ALL the news and entertainment outlets, this is the inevitable conclusion.

Honest Mistake.  It looks just like Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena where Trump actually appeared.

Right?  I mean come on who would know?

I don't know. I thought the attendance looked pretty good.

A "Sell out" crowd like would be to die for.

Isn't nationalism and populism great. What a winning strategy. /sarc

As a Cavs fan, I find this utterly disgusting!  There were 1.3 million people in the streets of Cleveland that day, and it was an awesome event.

How DARE they use Cleveland's pride (finally!) to pump a corrupt reprobate and lie about his popularity.

Disgusting!!

Many people know, which is why it is a story.  And there was nothing honest about it.

CNN is a Tool for the DNC.  Its aim is to discredit Trump and his campaign.  Brietbart is as honest as the day is long and would never engage in dishonest journalism.

Of course it is.  There's just one very large problem...the truth regarding this issue.

The image of the Cleveland Cavalier rally CNN used in June was really in Cleveland.

And Breitbart stealing it and using it to promote New York leftist Trump's rally in Florida was a lie.

Methinks Breitbart may have a democratic "mole" somewhere, either working for them or feeding them information...  ;)

Breitbart's editors are too stupid to check their sources, especially when it benefits Trump.

Breitbart's editors are too stupid to check their sources, especially when it benefits Trump.

Or they know that their audience is so brainwashed by living in an echo-chamber that they won't even think to fact-check the propaganda Breitbart's been spewing.  So why bother even telling the truth if they won't notice the difference?

Yeah right. You just think it was a Cavs celebration. It was actually a Trump rally. You really need to pay attention to what's going on around you.

I always have lacked observation skills.

I'll try to be more careful next time, Frank.    :dx1:

AB is spinning in his grave, knowing what these folks have done to his site and movement.  AB would have detested Trump.

[Vulcan]

AB would have detested Trump.

Given Trump is a flaming New York liberal, all conservatives should. 

[ABX]

AB would have detested Trump.

He did. http://www.latimes.com/nation/politics/la-na-breitbart-rise-fall-20160318-story.html

Worth a thread of its own, like the William F Buckley piece.

As a Houston Rockets fan, I am usually disgusted, except for those 2 years in the early 90's...

I hear you, brother!  Except for us it was that year, 1964!  It's been a looooong drought!
