Breitbart News's content has been described as misogynistic, xenophobic, and racist by academics and journalists. The site has published a number of conspiracy theories and intentionally misleading stories. Posts originating from the Breitbart News [Facebook](Facebook.md) page are among the most widely shared political content on Facebook. Initially conceived as "[the Huffington Post](The%20Huffington%20Post.md) of the right", Breitbart News later aligned with the alt-right, the European populist right, and the pan-European nationalist identitarian movement under the management of former executive chairman [Steve Bannon](Index%20📚/Person/Steve%20Bannon.md), who declared the website "the platform for the alt-right" in 2016. In 2016, Breitbart News became a virtual rallying spot for supporters of [Donald Trump](Donald%20Trump.md)'s 2016 presidential campaign. The company's management, together with former staff member Milo Yiannopoulos, solicited ideas for stories from, and worked to advance and market ideas of neo-Nazi and white supremacist groups and individuals. After the election, more than 2,000 organizations removed Breitbart News from ad buys following Internet activism campaigns denouncing the site's controversial positions. Breitbart News has promoted climate change denial and [COVID-19](Covid-19.md) misinformation. The company is headquartered in Los Angeles, with bureaus in Texas, London, and Jerusalem. Co-founder Larry Solov is the co-owner (along with Andrew Breitbart's widow Susie Breitbart and the Mercer family) and CEO, while Alex Marlow is the editor-in-chief, Wynton Hall is managing editor, and Joel Pollak and Peter Schweizer are senior editors-at-large. > [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breitbart%20News) # Tags #Media ---- - **First Indexed:** 05-30-2023 - 1:51 pm - **Last Updated:** 05-30-2023 - 1:51 pm ### Footnotes & References
