Breitbart News is planning to sue an unnamed media company “for its baseless and defamatory claim that Breitbart News is a ‘white nationalist website,’” the website said in a statement today.
The statement, which was released to The Hill, describes Breitbart as a “pro-America, conservative website” and says it cannot stand by and allow “racial lies to go unchallenged, especially by cynical, politically-motivated competitors.”
The site did not identify the target of the “multi-million dollar lawsuit,” but Google turns up a few options. Salon, Media Matters, and Raw Story have all called Breitbart News a “white nationalist website.” And some people have claimed that CNN called it the same. Among those media companies, only CNN fits the bill as “major.”
By keeping secret the media company it intends to sue, Breitbart News is raising the possibility that it’s not planning to sue anyone at all. Perhaps Breitbart executive chairman Steve Bannon, who will serve as Donald Trump’s chief strategist, has been getting litigation tips from his boss. Remember when the president-elect was “drafting” a lawsuit against the New York Times in early October? According to The Washingtonian, it still hasn’t been filed.
Go to it! And more power to Breitbart. They should be front and center in Trump’s media associations. NOT the MSM. These latter a$$hats should be marginalized.
Good. may they sue those named into oblivion.
I bet they are after Media Matters.

Stelter:
“Bannon is viewed as an anti-Semite that runs an alt-right website which deals in hate and crazy conspiracy theories.”
Cuomo was very negative about them
I bet Huffpo
Glenn Beck wants it to be him. It won’t be
5:10 p.m. ET
BRIAN STELTER: This is the normalization of extreme Alt-Right rhetoric, unless Americans don’t let it become normalized. Breitbart, a website that thrives with white nationalist rhetoric, very, very incendiary kind of commentary.
So is Stelter an employee or guest?

CNN’s Brian Stelter says journalists “will have to reckon with” the media coverage of this year’s presidential election.
That sounds like an employee
I hope it is cnn and I would pay to be on the jury.
He is suppose to be CNN’s media watchdog. He’s been in a fued with Hannity recently
bump
Just use a reverse marxist pc filter....
Patriots in ethnic solidarity. See how that works?
Just replace “white nationalist” with “Western style individual liberties”.
I heard NPR do it this afternoon, stated like fact regarding Bannon’s background. Disgusting.
