intro has odd unexplained references to things - removed

the intro had these words as part of the sentence about his Breitbart news site:

"along with multiple other "BIG" sites – BIGHollywood, BIGGovernment, BIGJournalism."

that is not self explanatory, so until someone can explain what that means, or what those are, it has been removed. Are they website names? are they just someone's idea of what he stood for or against? this isn't clear at all and needs to be expressed in a proper form. They were not links, and not expressed as .coms or other domain names. So, if you want that on there, at least let the public know what you are talking about. That would be proper journalism.

Correction

Article has it right in opening paragraph, "conservative journalist"... Later in article he is called far right. This is wrong. 2603:6081:7600:1D00:388D:625E:9345:6AB0 (talk) 01:52, 21 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If the reliable sources call him or his sites far-right, that's what we say here. We don't include original research. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 02:15, 21 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Criticism and controversies section needed

(self explanatory) 120.21.18.26 (talk) 18:12, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No, per WP:CONTROVERSYSECTION. Self-explanatory. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:07, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Some or Many. Journalists and academics don't all have the same opinion.

"....far-right news and opinion website, which has been described as misogynistic, xenophobic, and racist by academics and journalists."

"far-right news and opinion website, which has been described as misogynistic, xenophobic, and racist by SOME ? MANY academics and journalists."

Not every journalist in the world has the same opinion surely? 82.31.108.103 (talk) 11:44, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

-Please forgive if I'm doing this wrong. I almost never get into this section. Story says he collapsed in the morning. This site - assuming it's a faithful copy of the actual coroner's report - said they got a 911 call about him collapsing while walking on 2/29 at 11:36 pm and he was pronounced at 12:19 am on 3/1. (Also documents a blood alcohol of 0.4%, not 0.04%, but that's a typo; the accompanying toxicology shows 0.04%.)

-Hello. I have added this section to the article twice, and it has been taken down each time:

-In his obituary of Breitbart, [[Rolling Stone]] columnist [[Matt Taibbi]] wrote: " . . . no homage is complete without a celebration of the whole man, and the whole man in this case was not just a guy who once said, “It’s all about a good laugh,” but also someone who liked to publish peoples’ personal information on the internet, hack into private web sites<ref>{{cite news

-:I removed it because it looks to me like you're attributing opinions to Taibbi. The references you're adding to apparently corroborate Taibbi's statements aren't written by Taibbi. This looks like [[WP:OR]] to me, as it seems to be an individual/original interpretation of what Taibbi may have meant in his statements.

This is problematic per [[WP:FRINGE]], suggesting that the conspiracy theories that he was murdered are in any way legit, and just "unproven".

-:Hi. This is user Democraticfreethinker. Editing from an ip because surprise! got a ban. I have assumed good faith with you, then waited for discussion as you said. I find that I am repaid with false accusations (of which I would like you to show evidence, please). Coincidentally I wanted to tell you that I was still waiting for you to give an argument as your comment so far was all smoke and no fire.
