“It’s a one-man operation with a second guy,” Breitbart told the Los Angeles Times in 2007. Following a 2007 trip to Israel with childhood friend and Los Angeles attorney Larry Solov, Breitbart went on to create the series of websites that would ultimately bear his name: Breitbart.com. Conservatism blooms in UplandA conservative think-tank trains young conservatives in the “principles that will be necessary to defeat progressivism” in Upland, an hour east of Los Angeles. Alex Marlow, the current editor and also one of the website’s first hires, graduated in 2004 from Harvard-Westlake School, the exclusive Los Angeles prep school. Breitbart’s friend and still-CEO of Breitbart News, Larry Solov, told The Los Angeles Times he didn’t see an end to the website’s popularity among conservatives.
