Under his leadership, the site pushed a nationalist, anti-establishment agenda and became one of the leading outlets of the so-called alt-right - a movement often associated with far-right efforts to preserve "white identity," oppose multiculturalism and defend "Western values."
The site specializes in button-pushing, traffic-trolling headlines, including one that called conservative commentator Bill Kristol a "Republican spoiler, renegade Jew." Others asked, "Would you rather your child had feminism or cancer?" and "Birth control makes women unattractive and crazy."
Priebus on Monday said "That wasn't his writing," referring to Bannon, although he did not specify which, if any were Bannon's work. In the months Priebus has known Bannon, the media mogul "has exhibited none of those qualities," the Republican chairman told NBC's "Today."
"Here is a guy who is very, very smart, very temperate, and together we've been able to manage a lot of the decision making in regard to the campaign along with Kellyanne (Conway)," he added. "And it's worked very, very well."
Bannon has been personally accused of prejudice. His ex-wife said in court papers obtained by The Associated Press that Bannon made anti-Semitic remarks when the two battled over sending their daughters to private school nearly a decade ago. In a sworn court declaration following their divorce, Mary Louise Piccard said her ex-husband had objected to sending their twin daughters to an elite Los Angeles academy because he "didn't want the girls going to school with Jews."
Alexandra Preate, a spokeswoman for Bannon, denied he'd ever said such things.
Bannon also faced domestic violence charges following an altercation the pair had on New Year's Day 1996 following a spat over money. He was charged in 1996 with misdemeanor witness intimidation, domestic violence with traumatic injury and battery. The charges were dropped after Piccard didn't show up at trial.

The Left fears Bannon because he is tough and brilliant. GREAT!!!
Don’t care...
You notice they never characterize people like Luis Gutierrez and Keith Ellison as flamethrowers or bombthrowers when they are actively advocating sedition.
this is valerie jarrett’s old gig. compared to her, bannon is massively overqualified and moderate.
Trump just told Obama
Obama looses control of sphincter.
The AP has the gall to talk about a flamethrower?
Bring it, MSM. It is officially war, and we are going to take the excrement you throw at us, ferment it, and return it to you Obamaholes in spades.
We have had it, and if you want war, it is war.
I’m very happy to see Breitbart News do well.
Through all of this, they have been a reliable outlet for news, and a voice for us.
The liberal media’s deep reflection on how they got the polling wrong lasted about 20 minutes, and right back on the very same kind of attack and demonization tactics the is fomenting the sedition in this country.
For a moment what came to mind was “Van Jones is a conservative?”
The Left fears Bannon because he is tough and brilliant. GREAT!!!
From the article :
WASHINGTON (AP) — Stephen Bannon, a leading force of the far-right, a flame-throwing media mogul and professional provocateur, a man who made a career out of roiling the establishment from the outside, just landed squarely on the inside.
Donald Trump’s pick for chief strategist and senior counselor signals the president-elect has no intention of abandoning his brash, outsider instincts as he puts together his new government. Trump didn’t give Bannon the top White House job - that went to Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus. Still, Trump made clear Sunday that a man many credit with righting the businessman’s campaign - and one others accuse of amplifying a bigoted fringe - would have a plum position in the West Wing.
Bannon joined Trump’s election team as chief executive late in the campaign, following the departure of Trump’s second campaign team in August. He quickly became a member of Trump’s inner circle, frequently traveling with the candidate and working to re-shape his message to emphasize Trump’s populist and outsider appeal.
Bannon came from Breitbart News, an unabashedly pro-Trump outlet that had declared war on GOP leaders, including House Speaker Paul Ryan, with whom Trump will have to work to pass his agenda.
Hilarious. AP asserts that Hispanic identity, Asian identity and especially Black identity are all legitimate concerns of the American State. But it's awful when whites assert it.
Guess they're just racists.
Who was her divorce attorney, Gloria All Red?
Nice headlie.
Not “Trump chooses Bannon for a position”
no...
It’s “Flame-throwin evil person selected...”
The Asspress are the biggest liars among the noxious, dishonest, ideological press. This hateful drivel is typical of their far left, extremist loyalties. I don’t believe them if they tell me the football scores.
ValJar is a Saint (or maybe imam) ?
JESUS! These guys are foaming at the mouth while they are writing. This is not even within the same SOLAR SYSTEM as reporting.
We have our answer....
Will the corrupt media start being truthful and fair when covering Trump?
Nope, they are doubling down.
