Facebook made a $300 million pledge to help journalists — just like Google did last year
Facebook says it is going to spend $300 million over the next three years to support journalism.
Does that sound familiar?
Here's why: Ten months ago, Google said it was going to spend $300 million over three years to support journalism.
Facebook says it's just a coincidence that it landed on the same dollar amount that its primary competitor landed on last year. But I'm not complaining. In part because I want Google and Facebook to spend money supporting journalism. And also because it means I don't have to rewrite this piece, from March 2018: "Google and Facebook can't help publishers because they're built to defeat publishers."

While not dead, your link is pretty empty. I suspect somebody managed to inject it into the web site via a security hole.
Also, it's just a click-bait headline. There is no claim being made that the answer is "Yes".
Breitbart does in fact cover breaking news, complete with court documents for you idiots that just want to dismiss Breitbart due to the slant.
You in your bubble can't see that CNN is slanted worse, in the other direction, and is literally making fake news. The protest coverage in London was great, with CNN caught transporting people around London to appear as crowds in various places. The Koi feeding incident with the Japanese prime minister was impressive fake news, with video cut to make Trump appear to be doing offensive things in Japan. It goes on and on.
