Former Breitbart Spokesman: They Are Effectively Now A State-Sponsored Platform For Trump’s Propaganda

The Hill reports:

President Trump’s chief strategist, Stephen Bannon, is dipping into Breitbart News to staff the White House. The hires give Bannon more loyalists in Trump’s West Wing, and also raise Breitbart’s profile and power. It comes as the conservative news organization, led by Bannon until last year, seeks to expand its influence in Washington and the world.

One of Breitbart’s biggest stars, Julia Hahn, is expected to join the White House as an aide to Bannon. Breitbart’s national security editor, Sebastian Gorka, will also relocate to the White House, likely with a spot on the president’s National Security Council, Business Insider reported on Tuesday.

“There is no line of separation between the White House and Breitbart — they are one in the same,” Kurt Bardella, a former Breitbart spokesman who has since disavowed the media outlet, told The Hill. “They effectively are a state-sponsored/controlled platform designed to advance the administration’s propaganda.”
