Bannon Grew Andrew Breitbart’s Critique of Media into ‘Very Large, Effective News Organization’
Breitbart.com ^ | Pam Key

Sunday on CNN’s “Reliable Sources,” while commenting on Breitbart News executive chairman Stephen K. Bannon taking on a new role as Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s campaign CEO, the former chief executive officer of National Public Radio and author Ken Stern said Bannon has grown Breitbart into a “very large, effective news organization — media organization, political organization.”

Stern said, “What Trump is doing I think now is surrounding himself with people who have an instinctive and practiced knowledge about how to communicate with a certain part of the American public. Rogers Ailes deviously knows how. Steve Bannon knows how. They are good. They’re probably the best there are at advising on how to connect with his audience.”

He added, “This is about extending the Trump brand past November, but I don’t think it’s about necessarily launching a new media organization. The media organization that is the critique that Donald Trump just described has been around since Andrew Breitbart.

Even the Left is beginning to accept victory by Trump.

The Presidency is a deal to be won or lost.

And Trump is gonna win it.

“Rogers Ailes deviously knows how.” Any bet what his political affiliation is?

BTW, I think part of the reason Hillary needed a couple of days off is because she is depressed and discouraged...and with good reason.

Trump has Hillary and Obama on the ropes.

I know Bannon personally.

1) He wins and succeeds. The guy turns lead into gold.
2) He is partisan, not a Lindsay Grahamesty whiney little biotch.
3) He goes for the jugular.

Oooh...I like. Especially #3. How long has it been since there has been someone with their eyes on the prize and the cajones to go for it?

I don't know Bannon, but I know Goldman Sachs from competing against them (successfully) for years.

Bannon may have worked at GS, but he is not their type.

They are weasels who let others takes the risks and then steal the good ideas created by other firms.

Bannon is a creator, inventor, and frontiersman. He takes risks and wins.

Goldman is a flock of vultures...just circling overhead, watching the Bannon types, hoping they can steal a little carrion.

Actually Hillary is taking a victory lap around Marthas Vineyard. Receiving accolades from the elite who gather there. They think they have defeated Trump and destroyed the GOP , Tea Party and the GOP e all at once.

I know nothing other than I know Mr. Trump loves this country, will do his best for America and her people, and he has put together a winning team, winners in all perspectives.

BO’B and ILLiary should be shaking in their million dollar shoes, as he will win one for the Gipper, and he will MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.

The two Marx Globalists would be advised to hire some decorators, those who specialize in working in small spaces...cell sized spaces. There will be at least two cells needing a fine renovation, perhaps even more. There are numerous persons guilty of deceit and tyranny.

May GOD BLESS DONALD TRUMP and his team to make AMERICA one nation once again.

OK. Let’s read this again

:: on CNN’s “Reliable Sources,” while commenting on Breitbart News executive chairman Stephen K. Bannon ::

OK, he’s a political animal that heads-up Brietbart

:: taking on a new role as Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s campaign CEO ::

Copy that.

:: the former chief executive officer of National Public Radio and author Ken Stern ::

Ooops, run-on sentences confuse the reader. In this case CNN is interviewing Ken Stern ABOUT Bannon. That is not clear in the article (no disrespect meant for Rooster Redux)

Essentially, we are reading of 3rd-party anecdotal evidence. Again...grasping at straws.

Hope you had a great weekend.

A very pleasant week, actually!! Texas experiencing cooler temps (Yeah!! no A/C required) and on top of that we’ve had rain this weekend. And The cherry on top is that TRUMP can at last be considered “Presidential Material” Of course, the last part has been known in some circles for a number of months :-)

Good to make you laugh. Persons need to attempt that exercise more often...even though some days it might present more of a challenge.

Just think a year has passed, things have remained the same, but changes have been seen which lead one to believe there might be a future after all! Where do you plan on spending President Trump’s Inauguration Day?

The last sentence has such a pleasant ring to it; don’t you agree?

Take care, we’ve a good deal of celebration in which we wish to be included!

Maybe Bannon will honcho Trump’s new Pure Conservative Truthful Network.

Its like the Cars tune. Just what we needed!  There was  a long Wash Post mag treatment of Steven Bannon months ago. I knew he would be ideal to get Trump elected in November. I go to Breitbart every day to see what's shaking.

[P]racticed knowledge…” True. Breitbart writers have polished experience.

When Breitbart web site opened doors in 2009 I was impressed with the stories and the comments. Then Andrew died or was killed. Then the hero Ben Shapiro flaked out. Then the writers put it in second gear and took off. Here is a cool comment from Breitbart site in the past:

“I remember arguing, in grade school, that Nixon would be a better president than Carter. I joined the Marines in 1981 and I haven’t had to prove anything to anyone ever since. Have a great day!
JARHED - January 28th, 2009”
