Why is Steve Bannon on the National Security Council? Because, according to another Trump adviser, running a neo-Nazi website makes him someone you want whispering in the ear of the guy with the nuclear codes.
I think you need to look at what Stephen Bannon did in terms of building a media giant that has crushed its left-wing rivals in terms of a breitbart.com.
Breitbart.com is a media giant? Seriously? When you think of “media giants,” does a website devoted to white supremacy really measure up to something like NBC or Disney? By that measure, Bark Bark Woof Woof is the size of the Miami Herald.
What’s with CBS? Scott Pelley took issue with Nancy Pelosi’s characterization of Bannon as a white supremacist. “We checked the record and can find nothing Bannon has said to show he’s a white supremacist”. I suppose encouraging OTHERS to espouse that view or maintaining the outlet for those who do to propagate the poison doesn’t fit the proper description for Scott.
Brietbart ranks #7278 on rankings.com. CNN, for reference, is #22.
