If he’d been told resign or be fired, I suspect he wouldn’t have thanked them for standing by him and not caving.
Since Brietbart died the site bearing his name has meandered and lost focus. I’m not at all certain that they will remain as prominent as they currently are in the future. A large amount of the traffic they’ve received in the past year or two has been due to Milo Yiannopoulos.
FR is my “home” as far as the bulk of online comments that I make, but I do comment at other sites. I don’t get caught up in the advocacy of other sites as a result, so if Breitbart continues on and survives as an effective conservative voice I say great. If they don’t, that’s too bad but others will surely spring up in their place.
Who will they get to cover tech now?
