Conservative flame-thrower to get key White House position

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.

Breitbart, just the mention has Glenn Beck getting appointments for the eye doctor and brain surgeon. It has to be good news for the country for that only.

Glenn Beck needs to yanked off the stage. He does have some good people on his payroll however.

"Would you rather your child had feminism or cancer?"

Having had one of the two, the choice is easy. Cancer is often completely curable, and it almost never interferes with brain function.

The language in this is so extreme, I was looking for some labeling which would peg this as an op/ed rather than as "news" or "objective journalism".

At the bottom i says, "AP writer Laurie Kellman contributed to this report."

So this is what passes for a report!!?

My old eyes. Maybe I missed something. Is there anything here that would correctly bracket this as an opinion piece?

Are we supposed to apologize for holding (and even advancing) Western values?

Yes, of course we are. Not only that, we should allow the leftists to appoint Trump’s team!!

I like Dana Loesch, but the Glenn story is a tragedy that tracks the greats of literature. He lost his way, his mind and whatever good he accomplished is in tatters. I watched his TV show, followed him closely as a matter of course. I would record and screen for content, and there was much good in it. It seemed as if he was going to step aside, and begin making entertainment, and allow others to pursue news and opinion. He never did, and all the pinpoint accurate deconstruction of the Progressive agenda is now lost. If I were better educated, I could possibly point to the exact Greek Tragedy his life mirrors, but it most certainly is classic.

“Piccard didn’t show up at trial.”

That certainly adds a lot of credence to her allegations.

If you’re looking for good examples of hearsay and gossip, this article is a trove.
