Expanded[edit]

Breitbart.com has expanded beyond Big Government, Hollywood, Journalism and Peace (now called National Security) to also include Sports, London (Milo Yiannopoulos and James Delingpole are its primary contributors), Texas and California specific sections. It's become sort of a cut-rate, bizarro-world Huffpost (their color schemes even contrast, green and white at huffpo, orange and black at breitbart.com). Breitbart.com may need expansion into its own page, as it is able to continues to push narratives that more mainstream sites later pick up, even without its erstwhile leader.Petey Plane (talk) 21:13, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

Interesting Breitbart article[edit]

Please discuss. 175.103.25.136 (talk) 20:46, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

Not by the man, of course, by the website he founded. Shouldn't there be an article for the website as opposed to the man? It seems to be an important center of many things which a number of people here would disagree with. 175.103.25.136 (talk) 20:50, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

Seeing as[edit]

Seeing as this guy has left and is never coming back, but his website continues without him, should we have a separate Breitbart.com article? BicyclewheelToxic mowse.gif 15:47, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

Dunno... I'm worried it would create a stub. But how about we make Breitbart.com the new main article, with a subsection in it containing all we know on the historical founder, Andrew Breitbart? That makes the most sense, I think. Reverend Black Percy (talk) 15:49, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
That's fine. So... Move and add? BicyclewheelToxic mowse.gif 19:42, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
Yeah, Breitbart.com should be main. A lot more on-mission potential content about the site than the man, especially since their intertwining with the Trump campaign. I'll work on expanding after switch. Petey Plane (talk) 20:16, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
Switch done, and somehow my 2007-stylee intro has lasted more than 24 hours. BicyclewheelToxic mowse.gif 21:07, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
Here's an in-depth profile of Steve Bannon from Bloomberg. I'll try to get around to expanding the article eventually if no one else does. --Ymir (talk) 03:28, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

Arabs and the "gene of the unknown virus of war"[edit]

https://archive.is/ZnrwD

Breitbart republished an article asserting, in part:

Al-Moussa summarizes by reiterating his claim that Arabs are born with “the gene of the unknown virus of war, which comes to life the minute an Arab youth is able to carry a dagger or a sword.”

Worth addition? What section? oʇɐʇoԀʇɐϽʎzznℲ (talk/stalk) 16:55, 30 October 2016 (UTC)

The article it references can be found translated here, but MEMRI, the organization responsible for the translation, does not appear enormously trustworthy. According to Wikipedia, the Saudi news outlet it's supposedly from has published unconventional content before (there was a piece which criticized the Saudi government for inaction in the face of terrorism and excused the West from a role in causing it, for example) - IMO, not on quite the same plane as blanket-condemning Arabs as ticking time bombs of war and violence, though. I had trouble creating an account on the outlet's web site and wasn't able to check their archives against MEMRI, but best of luck to anyone who wants to try it. For now, adding it to "racism" seems appropriate. It's pretty clear what Breitbart is getting at regardless of whether the original source is legitimate. 21:57, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

Steve Bannon[edit]

Probably deserves his own article now, no? Maybe I'll start one this weekend.

This thing pretty much looks silver to me?[edit]

Thoughts? Reverend Black Percy (talk) 01:09, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

No way. There's more about Andrew Breitbart than the site, the Donald Trump stuff is out of date and Steve Bannon gets a couple of brief mentions. This needs updating, bigly. 85.234.92.172 (talk) 13:18, 25 February 2017 (UTC) (Sophie)
