Re: Why is Breitbart green?
Considering the amount of disinformation on that site, it should be rated far less trustworthy.
Consider the following as a reason for why the site should be rated down:
Etcetera, etcetera . . .
Breitbart peddles rumour, lies, gossip and deliberate disinformation for the sake of politics and money.

P.S. This site has serious problems with reproducing an intact URL without parsing it. This is a big problem.

Re: Why is Breitbart green?
Why is it green? Well, here
it says they have "45 million unique monthly visitors". The editor thinks this means they have a "45 million-person community"; but visitors are often unique because they peek once and then don't return. Be that as it may, Brietbart is probably rated massively; and so a red-shift would require the efforts of several Plutonium-level members.

Still rated Safe, still spouting lies, still hosted by Google Project Shield (which is a free DDOS protection service), for which I cannot find an abuse contact.

Yes I did. The WOT site does not seem to handle URLs very well if they are over a certain length.Site-rater wrote: ↑Sat Sep 01, 2018 6:45 pmDid you try replacing https:// with hxxps:// ?A440 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 01, 2018 6:25 pmP.S.
