Bardella: On Steve Bannon and why I'm voting for Hillary

When I began my relationship with Breitbart News it was with the understanding that the legacy of Andrew Breitbart would be honored in creating a news site with thoughtful content written with at least a semblance of objectivity and credibility rooted in some form of reality.

Over time, the components began to take shape: the addition of new talent, such as former Roll Call and National Review reporter Jonathan Strong to lead the political reporting unit, a dedicated staff committed to comprehensively reporting the news, a loyal base of readers, and and editorial staff led by Andrew Breitbart protégé Alex Marlow who was committed to guiding the site in a manner Andrew would have wanted.

What derailed much of this potential was Breitbart’s own General Chairman Stephen K. Bannon.

Steve ran the site and controlled the content as a dictator, not only limiting the expression of his journalists but also purposefully changing the narrative to increase vitriol, playing to the fears of his readers.
