    Is it still whataboutism or a fallacy to say mbc is biased in of itself? That (in my personal experience) leftists are more prone to feeling the need to make websites like that?

      It’s certainty predictable. Do you have a particular concern to share, or is this a feels thing?

      It depends on the context of the conversation:

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whataboutism

      If you respond to “Breitbart is shit” with “but what about X, Y, Z”, then it is. But if for example the conversation instead started with “X, Y, Z is shit”, then it wouldn’t.

      I agree with you that MBC, salon, and huffington are bad. (I disagree that they are worse), but that isn’t relevant to criticism of breitbart.
