It will surely be Breitbart, a rightwing opinion and news website formed in 2007 that one former editor has described as “Trump Pravda”. And indeed, white supremacist leaders in the US were delighted on Monday that Bannon had secured a White House appointment. In an article he republished on Monday, he claimed: “Breitbart openly embraced the white supremacist alt-right … He [Bannon] used his role as Breitbart CEO to turn the outlet into Trump Pravda, creating a stepping stone to close connection with Trump. “Under Bannon, Breitbart has provided a key online resource for the loose collection of ultra-conservatives, neo-Nazis and internet trolls calling themselves the alt-right,” said David Lawrence, a Hope Not Hate researcher. Delingpole has been described as a “figure of fun” by Bob Ward, policy director at the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment and at the London School of Economics.
