Steve Bannon, the executive chairman of Breitbart News, is stepping down from the news organization, according to a report.
The New York Times reported the news of Bannon's departure from Breitbart on Tuesday.

The Mercers fired him.
He should have kept his mouth shut.
And the leaks to himself.
I’m not saying you are hypocrite, but maybe you need to assess why you were believing certain things. I think you are letting the media control what you think, and it’s not a goofd thing.
No idea what you're trying to say here but the media does not control what I think. Steve Bannon's treachery is what changed my mind. Steve Bannon's failure to refute any of what's been reported has changed my mind.
Breitbart was the first journalist to announce he was going to release an incriminating Obama video at some future date. He did this at CPAC on February 10, 2012.
He didn't last 30 days. He died on March 1, 2012.
Breitbart CPAC 2012 Speech (partial):
There's no such thing as a moderate Democrat. And so what do we get now, in Barack Obama?In this election we're going to vet him.
I've got videos, by the way, and in this election we're going to vet him. I've got videos. This election we're going to vet him. From his college days, to show you why racial division and class warfare are central to what 'hope and change' was sold in 2008.
The videos are going to come out. The narrative is going to come out: that Barack Obama met a bunch of silver pony-tails [left wing academics] back in the 1980s, like Bill [Ayers] and Bernadine Dohrn who said "one day, we're going to have the presidency.'
No more "tick tocks." Journalistic teasing can get oneself killed.

There were problems with him that I knew about from day one. I put them aside because LS and FReepers thought so highly of him, and I liked some of the interviews I saw. I enjoyed his taking on the media. Anyway, eventually I think I caught up to the truth about him, and it seems he allows his personal quirks and emotions to overcome decency and logic. A shame.
Why can’t you just accept that some people may have a different opinion than yours?
What I am question is the Stalinist level constant revisions by a large group of Freepers in the last few years.
Leave it alone. People have opinions, people change opinions - except you, Never Trumper.
I liked a lot about him, still do. Like a lot about Trump, too. Both are smart and well-read and understand politics very well, although, that is probably the problem. And power always tends to corrupt. But all “news” is distraction—as Ray Bradbury stated. We never get the “truth”, not even the unvarnished “facts’. We get a warped version of everything, always, because the purpose of the CIA-controlled MSM has always been to control our perceptions of the World. (They are flipping Good and Evil in minds of the masses so they can create “happy” slaves for the State).
We are just seeing the “Smoke and Mirrors”. We have NO idea what is going on backstage....not at all. The Hegelian Dialectic has been in full force for 100 years, so we can’t know the truth unless you read Eustace Mullins or someone like that, and he’s been dead for a decade or so and Bannon is no Eustace Mullins, although he did state the truth about some things, as Pres. Trump does sometimes.
It is all a show—a distraction from the real important issues. We have no idea who the good guys and bad guys are yet.......but we will eventually see, and hopefully, it won’t be too late to take back this country.
Truth will win out in the end.....but whether we are total slaves of the elites by then, it may not matter, as we focus on the little petty things instead of the Federal Reserve, Income Tax, our Marxist health-enslaving system controlled by Big Pharma who are poisoning our children, our Marxist indoctrination system (publik skools), and our evil “justice” system which will destroy our civil society and collapse and corrupt all our children anyhow—with Trump or not.
Plus, we haven’t broken up the monopoly of satanic Hollywood and Big Media which allow their censorship of all our information and concepts and art which is fed daily to corrupt and warp our children (the future) (which is nothing but mind control). Control the minds of children and you will own the future. The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world and mothers have abandoned raising their own children if they bother to have any, and leave it up to the satanists in Hollywood to form their worldview along with the satanic publik skools where they banned God by the 60s and ended Classical Christian curricula so they could brainwash and control the minds of the useful idiots (snowflakes who are so ignorant and removed from Reality and identity that they “think” men can actually be women).
Breitbart should have ended when Breutbart died. After him, it became a leftist snake pit looney bin.
My opinion was superficial......... he dressed like a slob
People have opinions. I was right about Bannon, you guys were wring. Glad you finally realize it.
I am a Trump supporter. Since Bannon was as well we had that in common. I’ve since learned that it’s believed he was the leaker and that he’s said Don Jr. Was a traitor to the country (a claim Democrats have yet to latch onto). Obviously the new information will have an affect on how I sre
Just admit you’re a never Trumper. That’s who you’re really against
Even from you, that doesn’t make sense!
Still like him, thought he spoke his mind (and he did/does) well enough to garner my continued support of him and Breitbart. If The Trump Admin has an issue with him good on them, if a BS book fraught with lies can draw your attention.... grow up.
And how many threads do we need of this? We all KNEW it was coming. It is now surprise.
Let’s hope he gets the help he needs or you might be able to meet him one day on a street corner with a sign.
I liked him, I won’t say I loved him. I liked him because he was a fighter and seemed willing to fight hard for what he believed in, much of which I believed in to.
Trump was at his best, in his campaign, when Bannon was the CEO, and as much as people want to revise history Bannon was crucial to him winning. Could have have done it without him? Who knows. We know Paul Manaforte was actually a liability to Trump. We know Corey Landowsky was not great shakes. Trump still won primaries with them, maybe a third useelss advisor still could have been enough to get Trump to the White House, but probably not.
Trump and Bannon have a lot in common. Both tend to shoot their mouths off when silence would be a far more effective choice. In the end that has cost Bannon terribly, and Trump some, but not that much. That cold change quickly though. (For instance in his FBI interview).
I think I always correctly assessed both Trump and Bannon. I am not a Trump fan-boy. I voted for him because I liked his policies. As he sequentially abandons them I lose interest in him, it’s not that I wish I had voted for Hillary it’s just that Trump looks more and more conventional all the time.
Amnesty will probably jsut about seal the deal for me. I’m sure Bannon doesn’t secretly support amnesty, so while I’m not his biggest fan I do think he did a better job of representing “Civic Naionalism” than Trump did, a lot of the time.
You posted this to two people. It's a weird, gradiouse, condescending comment to make once, let alone twice.
Bannon is a media figure. So obviously what you think about him is "controlled" by the media. WIthout media Steve Bannon would be unimportant, and no one would know he was.
Because of media (that is his executive role at Breitbart) he's important. He (until today) controlled the largest far-right news outlet (Ranked #53 in the USA by Alexa).
If the media reports a bunch of good stuff about someone, and I start to think favorably about them, and then the media reports a bunch of bad stuff, and I think less of them I am not being "controlled by the media". I"m reacting to events based on current information.
Now if the events in the news are all lies, then that's manipulation. But in the case of the bannon saga I see no evidence of Lies. Bannon admits what he did.
It wasn't just Bannon. Kellyanne Conway was brought in simultaneously with Bannon to run the campaign.
Perhaps it was Conway who was the more disciplined force driving the Trump campaign?
