“If that’s what you’re trafficking in, day in and day out, isn’t it that much easier for someone like that to allow for the kind of cruelty that we’re seeing at our southern border right now?”


The killer may have acted alone on his fear that HIAS was helping an “invasion” of non-white newcomers to the United States, but the rhetoric about the group that motivated his butchery comes straight from the pages of Breitbart.


Thanks to the exposure from his dismissal from the festival, Steve Bannon and his followers on the right can continue to claim that they are being censored for having “conservative” views.


There are no major ideological differences between White House strategist Steve Bannon and French presidential candidate Marine Le Pen. But in the Washington Post, Bannon and his backers are “conservatives,” while Le Pen and her National Front are “far right.”

“We’re the platform for the alt-right,” Donald Trump’s campaign CEO, Stephen Bannon, told Mother Jones’ David Corn (8/22/16)—“we” meaning Breitbart News, the online news outlet that Bannon headed until he was picked to run the turbulent Trump campaign.

FAIR is the national progressive media watchdog group, challenging corporate media bias, spin and misinformation. We work to invigorate the First Amendment by advocating for greater diversity in the press and by scrutinizing media practices that marginalize public interest, minority and dissenting viewpoints. We expose neglected news stories and defend working journalists when they are muzzled. As a progressive group, we believe that structural reform is ultimately needed to break up the dominant media conglomerates, establish independent public broadcasting and promote strong non-profit sources of information.
