Daring to highlight the anti democratic action of the Spanish govt when nobody else would... sorry Dezzy but you would never see that in breitbart, that comparison couldn't be more wrong as they are effectively polar opposites.
Confirmation Bias exists on both websites because they are both extreme in their political leanings, you can't get unbiased reporting from a website that leans far too much in one direction.

You can't condemn something like Breitbart but then be accepting of what is essentially it's Left Wing mirror in the Canary. I refuse to pay attention to either since agenda comes before news for both of them.
