__TOC__
== Summary ==
Due to persistent abuse, ''Breitbart News'' is on the [[WP:SPB|Wikipedia spam blacklist]], and links must be [[Wikipedia talk:WHITELIST|whitelisted]] before they can be used. The site has published a number of falsehoods, [[conspiracy theory|conspiracy theories]], and intentionally misleading stories as fact. The 2018 RfC showed a very clear consensus that ''Breitbart News'' should be deprecated in the same way as the ''{{pslink|Daily Mail}}''. This does not mean ''Breitbart News'' can no longer be used, but it should not be used, ever, as a reference for facts, due to its unreliability. It can still be used as a [[WP:PRIMARY|primary source]] when attributing opinions, viewpoints, and commentary. ''Breitbart News'' has directly attacked and [[Doxing|doxed]] Wikipedia editors. Posting or linking to another editor's personal information is prohibited under the [[WP:OUTING|outing policy]], unless the editor is voluntarily disclosing the information on Wikipedia.
