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]
