Er ... a little i/e confusion there -- it's "Breitbart," not "Brietbart." Apart from that, great post.

I got cross eyed while reading the article.

re: #2 b_sharp

I really, really think you should bold your last two paragraphs, or at least the very last (you might have noticed I do that in my Pages a lot, i.e. bolding the sections I think are absolute must-reads, and will convey the gist of the article for the TLDR; set)

As it is, you've bolded all of Breitbart's crap, but none of your excellent rebuttals. Ergo, Breitbart wins "skim war"

Thanks.

No problem. I take my cues from Skeptical Science's Debunking Handbook, esp. the section where they talk about how to rebut a lie without unintentionally reinforcing it (not just words, but visual aspects as well).

Another thing that helps when you have big chunks of difficult to read bold text is to use a dark gray color instead of 100% black.

For some reason we can no longer use hexadecimal colors like #333333 in our styles, but you can use rgb instead. For example:

<strong style="color:rgb(51,51,51)">Some text...</strong>

The higher the 3 pairs of numbers, the lighter the color.
