In the wake of Donald Trump’s US election victory, right-wing US internet site Breitbart News Network confirmed they are planning to expand into Germany. But they could struggle to adapt, an analyst tells The Local. […]

Breitbart, which already has a website in the UK, has started interviewing European journalists for the planned new French and German sites, Breitbart editor-in-chief Alex Marlow told Reuters on November 9th. According to Reuters, the project has the express goal of helping elect right-wing politicians in the two European countries, where anti-immigrant sentiment has been on the rise. […]

But an expert on German media told The Local that the track record of US media companies in Germany shows Breitbart will have a hard time establishing itself. “Apart from a few niche TV stations, US media offshoots have not been particularly successful in Germany,” Dr. Lutz Frühbrodt of the University of Applied Sciences Würzburg-Schweinfurt told The Local via email. “The cultural differences are too large for a successful model to be transplanted one-to-one from the US to Germany.” …

Gonna be great.

When a people’s true opinions are not reflected anywhere in their media, someone or something comes along and is immediately embraced.

I’m glad to see one conservative news site has it together to really make an impact.

Goodness knows the Blaze, Newsmax, WND, and InfoWars are either jokes, or try really hard to be seen as one.

I hope they can eventually team up with OAN, and Rebel Media in Canada to create a complete media news powerhouse.

Where’d this “White Supremacy” “Anti-Semitic” crap come from? I never saw any of that at Breitbart, not at the other major sites they are calling alt-right.

Left-wing slander. They’re trying very hard to turn their lies into truth by using argumentum verbosium.

I certainly hope so. Angela Merkel has ruined her nation. She needs to be removed from power.

Pro-Israel is now matter-of-factly labelled “anti-semitic.”

If you are perceived to be “right wing” on any subject then you are necessarily anti-Semitic, homophobic, racist, and any other politically correct denigration that is current.

That’s been the status quo in “Europe” for quite a while. Even going back to the 1970s, when the “Palestinian” people were invented and got “observer status” at the UN, and UN Resolution 3379 was passed when things were run by a National Socialist.
