Sorry, I grabbed the first link. Are they a poor source (honestly don't know)?

I also found http://www.techinsider.io/github-the-full-inside-story-2016-... and http://techcrunch.com/2016/05/26/githubs-diversity-is-just-a...

The tweets and images came from Githubbers themselves.

Extremely. Breitbart regularly publicizes stories that are misleading at best or just flat out wrong: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breitbart_News_Network#Notable...

Thanks. Wow, TIL!

I feel like an idiot now, but I've edited the original post with the TechCrunch link.

The former owner is a conservative so many people automatically reject it in a knee jerk reaction to advertise how sophisticated their political beliefs are. It doesn't matter if it's true or not, just who says it.

They're conservative partisans and pretty open about it. Mostly they publish red meat for their base, same as Salon or Alternet.

Edited my original post with the TechCrunch link. Embarrassing mess up on my part, but live and learn. Thanks!

People don't like them because one of their editors is a vocal supporter of Gamergate.
