"Wikipedia Bans Breitbart as a Source"

And who started it? Guy Chapman!

This has been squabbled over for many years. MANY. Always stupid and petty, usually ignored.
I found one from 2010. And I don't see VICE mentioning any of THOSE old arguments.

And I checked. And Wikipedia currently has 1,632 links to breitbart.com. They had already removed the links in article space. Nearly ALL of the remaining links are on noticeboards and talkpages, being given as examples of Breitbart's "evil". Or whatever someone doesn't like. Do they now start censoring those links?

The nits have also been trying to remove articles about Breitbart writers. AND FAILING.
(Crowder is most famous for one thing: originating the "Change My Mind" meme.)
