Right Wing Watch reports that at this week’s Phyllis Schlafly Collegians D.C. Summit, Breitbart’s D.C. political editor Matt Boyle boasted that his publication’s goal is to completely destroy and eliminate the “mainstream media,” leaving Breitbart and other right wing sites as the only news sources.
“The goal eventually is the full destruction and elimination of the entire mainstream media,” Boyle said. “We envision a day where CNN is no longer in business; we envision a day where The New York Times closes its doors. I think that day is possible, I think that we can get there.”
“But when that happens,” he added, “the public still needs an information stream. And again, as much as we love Trump’s Twitter account, as much as we love the White House press releases and briefings and all that, there needs to be an independent and strong media in the United States, and that’s where we come in.”
I can’t tell you how weird it is, to have been tracking these right-wing extremists like the Mercers (who fund Breitbart) for so long, and to see their dreams being realized under Trump. And when people like me wrote about it, we were called “paranoid” and “shills.”
Breitbart Editor: The Goal Is The ‘Full Destruction And Elimination Of The Entire Mainstream Media’
Let’s just hope this is max overreach and the tide will turn. I think the left is very energized and things are not going so well in tRumpland these days. Breitbart has lost a huge portion of its traffic.
It is gobsmacking to know there are so many of these lunatics out there. Did you see the ALEC bunch want to eliminate the 17th Amendment and have state legislatures choose our senators?
I envision a day when people see the Breitbart by-line and think of Donald “Dim wit” Trump. ” Phyllis Schlafly Collegians?” Now there’s an oxymoron for the ages.
“Through clever and constant propaganda, people can be made to see paradise as hell and vice versa, to consider the most wretched sort of life as heaven itself.”
“Propaganda must be so popular and on such an intellectual level that even the most stupid will understand it……..It should be limited to a very few points which, in turn, should be used as slogans until the very last person can get the message.”
Both quotes are from Adolf Hitler.
Trump is so dumb that he doesn’t have any clue at all that the White Nationalist all around him, like Bannon, are Fascists first and Americans second.
The only thing that motivates Trump is winning. At all costs.
That is why Trump is so dangerous.
