breitbart is doing some weird shit on media matters website

i tried pasting a couple paragraphs about the press conference today and the reference to breitbart and then putting the media matters link up. each time i hit enter to post this on facebook a breitbart link appeared with their little logo. i tried to fix it a couple times and couldn't. i deleted one of the paragraphs and it still would not link to media matters--only breitbart!

so i deleted both paragraphs and just talked about it. then when i put the media matters link up it worked.

wtf???

here's the page from media matters
https://mediamatters.org/blog/2017/01/11/trump-punishes-cnn-after-it-challenged-him-rewards-breitbart-sucking/214981

and here are the two paragraphs i posted on fb that kept leading to b.b. with the media matters link

"A few minutes later, Trump turned to Matt Boyle of Breitbart.com, who proceeded to ask Trump about “all the problems that we’ve seen throughout the media over the course of the election” and “what reforms do you recommend for this industry here?”

"It would hardly be possible to ask a more sycophantic and fawning question, but coming from Breitbart, it’s not surprising."

can some knowledgeable computer folks explain this to me or why it happened?
(try it with your fb and see if it does the same thing--just curious)
