Steve Bannon vs. the Media Party

Anyone who chooses to look beyond the headlines, knows fully well that media outlets “bend the truth” to their point of view. This is often done through obfuscation (leaving out facts) rather than outright lying. But post-election, it has become very clear that many “journalists” have decided to discard their ethics and professionalism entirely by stating that Trump’s special advisor, Steve Bannon, is an anti-semite. This is simply the opposite of the truth!
Finally Bannon has spoken out in a feature length interview with Kimberley Strassel:

He continues: “How can you take anything seriously from a media apparatus–paid the amount of money you people are paid–that systematically missed something that was so obvious, that missed Brexit, that missed the Trump revolution? You’d have thought they’d have learned their lesson on November 8.”
Slight pause. “They clearly haven’t.”
Anti-Semitic? “Breitbart is the most pro-Israel site in the United States of America. I have Breitbart Jerusalem, which I have Aaron Klein run with about 10 reporters there. We’ve been leaders in stopping this BDS movement”–meaning boycott, divestment and sanctions–“in the United States; we’re a leader in the reporting of young Jewish students being harassed on American campuses; we’ve been a leader on reporting on the terrible plight of the Jews in Europe.” He adds that given his many Jewish partners and writers, “guys like Joel Pollak, these claims of anti-Semitism just aren’t serious. It’s a joke.”

  1. Probably one of the most Jewish news organizations in America is accused of anti-Semitism. Bizarrely stupid. Breitbart must be spinning in his thoroughly Jewish grave.

  2. The left consists of two main groups, the stupid followers, and the evil leaders. The stupid followers are the dopey media losers doing day to day hit pieces on anyone from the right, who can see the long term effects of the lefts stupidity, and the disrupters at events, morons doing facebook I hate him/.her stories. The leaders of the left are truly evil. They are the owners of these news outhouses, who feel they have to manufacture news they wish would, and can make happen, and the financiers of the disruptors of normal society and the lefts politicians. They are the lawmakers who steal treasurys bare to enrich themselves and their friends. If one is to blind to not see the evil in the eyes of these scum then they will have their way. Since they lost, yes lost, their handpicked hag fell off her broomstick, they are all in on hate, rage, and personal destruction of anyone or anything that is normal. This is just starting.

  3. The”Big Lie” once attributed to Goebels in the !930 demonstrates Just How Flexible the Democrat/Liberal/ PROGRESSIVES of all Political Parties who believe “The End Justifies the Means” & the ability of the Liberal/Democrat PROGRESSIVES are able to move between any of the ISM’s; whether it is Social-ism; Commun-ism; Fasc-ism; Lliberal-ism”- or If-It-Is Just-One-person-ism will Turn to Violence-ism-or Rasc-ism or Bigot-ism;;; Especially when they have been able to Count on the Bigot-ism of The Progress-ism of North American Intoctrination-ism by The Mistankly-ism of Expensive University-ism.
    Trying to Tell-ism the “Big Lie” ism of the 1930’s ISM’s-& attribute the Anti-Semit-ism to Steve Bannon is just another Example-ism of the Crudity-ism & The Broadway Stage Rude-ism; and & Mob-ism of the Bankrupt-ism of Think-ism & surely Pending lack of Cash Flow-ism as the Filth-ism against The FIFTY % DEPLORE-ISM receives a Steady; Slow; of Decline-ism OF Tcket nihil-ism for HAMILTON-ism; After The Ignorance-ism and Bigotry-ism is spread-ism by the Social Media-ism.

  4. The Left…Marxists in particular have ALWAYS been Anti-Semites…a cursory look throughout history will show that to be the case.
    As to it just starting…?? Nah, this shit has been going on for Centuries.
    It truly is time to Re-Convene The House Committee on UnAmerican Activities…..Truly..!!

  5. Steakman – I think you’re being too limiting. It’s not that they’re anti-Semitic. They’re anti-anyone who disagrees with them. European Jews have a long history of taking economic chances, working together as a group, and not fully fitting in with their neighbours. Groups that want to profit from spreading the believe that “the boogieman is out to get you, that’s why you’re not as successful as others” need to have outsiders that can be blamed. Blacks in the US have a cultural history of being subservient, so they’re a “natural” supporter for those who believe that their proper place is to rule. Promise them the sky but don’t deliver, they belong to us (just like in the good old days before the Republicans ruined the slavery system?) so they’ll always vote for us. Give ’em an Obama-phone and they’re taken care of for another election cycle. I don’t think it’s coincidental that he first “black” president was raised by his rich banker grandparents.
    The left needs boogiemen because whenever their ideas are tried, they fail. That can either be because the ideas are bad and their originators stupid, or that some shadowy group is being actively evil and causing the ideas to fail. Obama’s legacy is, in part, Hillary’s unelectability (though she did a good job of making herself unelectable, too). The left won’t hear of the idea that Obama made things worse, so they’re looking for some witches to burn.

  6. Unfortunately … the Bannon-HATING + SLANDERING Democrat party media never actually read Breitbart … because they’ve deemed it to be FAKE NEWS. Therefore they have no way way of knowing the ACTUAL thoughts and opinions of the “Alt. Right” or Bannon. They have no clue about Bannon’s pro-semitism. Pro-Israel stance. Which is quite incredulous, since Netanyahu himself says that American CHRISTIANS are Israels most loyal ally. If the Alt.Left is looking for an anti-Semite in the woodshed … why don’t they cast a glance over there at the White House … how could they miss 8 years of anti-semitism spewing out of Obama’s every word and deed. And then have a look at the Capital … and all those Alt. Palestinians on the left side of the aisle who tried to block Netanyahu from speaking. Maybe the mentally constricted losers on the left should try actually reading their so-called fake news.
    Ha! I love the invention of the “Alt. Right” … what a JOKE! I guess it’s the current form of the slur … “Neo-con”. All I know for sure is that the Alt. Left, Alt. Dem. Media, Alt. Eco. Left is intellectually constipated. They could use the laxative of truth.

  7. “8 years of anti-semitism spewing out of Obama’s every word and deed …”
    The United States will give Israel $38 billion in military assistance over the next decade …
    But the right-wing Netanyahu decided it would be best to forge a new arrangement with Obama, who leaves office in January, rather than hoping for better terms from the next U.S. administration, according to officials on both sides.

  8. The progressive left claims to be anti-sexist, anti-racist, etc. If you oppose their views, you must be sexist or racist, or worse,
    The problem this election cycle was that over half the population of the US was so branded. You cannot win elections by insulting half the electorate.

  9. When you supply the link to the origin of your quote … you run the risk that I will copy and paste the paragraph directly preceding your cherry-picked (meaningless, out of context) quote …
    Nearly 10 months of drawn-out aid negotiations underscored continuing friction between President Barack Obama and Netanyahu over last year’s U.S.-led nuclear deal with Israel’s arch-foe Iran, an accord the Israeli leader opposed. The United States and Israel have also been at odds over the Palestinians.
    Oops !

  10. As a retiree, I take part in a discussion group once a month. At the latest one, a fellow member brought up the “anti-Semitism” of president-elect Trumps new Chief of Staff.
    I pounced, asking his evidence for the claim, to which he fell back on what he had read on ‘news sites’. I was only to happy to send my discussion group companions Mr. Bannon’s CV with the recommendation they google Brietbart+anti-semitism before drawing conclusions.
    I’ve also sent them Mr. Bannon’s quote.
    I think it is vital that we push back without hesitation so that these ‘whack a moles’ are effectively dealt with.

  11. Remember the neoliberal jingoism: when you fake fake, it becomes “true.”
    Actually they just have to believe it, no matter their inconvenient contradictions.

  12. In the more dank corners of the internet, Breitbart is referred to as “kikebart”. Anti-Semetic is about as far from the truth as it gets.

  13. One gets the impression that conservatives/right wingers are the only group there is which the establishment media doesn’t afford a second chance/the benefit of a doubt.
    If a Muslim immigrant commits an act of terror, we are all immediately asked not to judge all muslim immigrants, but if Bannon has a story with a headline that uses the term “renegade Jew” — regardless of the context — Bannon and his entire site is smeared as anti-semitic.
    At least that’s the way it appears over here where I am writing (in Germany), where Bannon and his website are routinely smeared as anti-semitic by state-funded news services (ARD, ZDF), and by implication all his readers, Trump and all Trump voters. No qualifications or mitigating circumstances whatsoever.

  14. Actually i was searching your website. Because i need some information from your website. Now i read your whole content attentively. I already got lots of information from your website. Thank you so much for your good job.
