Bannon: Liberal Media “Blind to Who We Are”
Posted On 20 Nov 2016
One of the first moves President-elect Donald Trump made upon defeating Hillary Clinton was to appoint Stephen Bannon his chief strategist in the White House. While the appointment should have come as little surprise – Bannon was the architect of Trump’s general election campaign – it still inspired waves of shock in the D.C. media. They began assailing Bannon as a “white nationalist,” a slur that he rejected in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
“I’m not a white nationalist, I’m a nationalist,” Bannon told THR. “I’m an economic nationalist.”
Bannon, who runs the conservative news site Breitbart, has been tarred as a racist anti-semite whose appointment proves that Trump has no interest in unifying the country after an explosive election. Bannon himself delights in watching the media chase its tail:
“Darkness is good,” says Bannon, who amid the suits surrounding him at Trump Tower, looks like a graduate student in his T-shirt, open button-down and tatty blue blazer — albeit a 62-year-old graduate student. “Dick Cheney. Darth Vader. Satan. That’s power. It only helps us when they” — I believe by “they” he means liberals and the media, already promoting calls for his ouster — “get it wrong. When they’re blind to who we are and what we’re doing.”
In other words, while the media is getting caught up in easy-to-swallow (if fictional) accusations of white supremacy, Bannon and Trump are putting together an anti-establishment agenda right under their noses. The networks and newspapers are focused on clickbait and ad revenue, which forces them to cover the sensational. It doesn’t take a genius to see how Trump exploited this for maximum gain in his campaign.
“The globalists gutted the American working class and created a middle class in Asia,” Bannon told THR. “The issue now is about Americans looking to not get f—ed over. If we deliver, we’ll get 60 percent of the white vote, and 40 percent of the black and Hispanic vote and we’ll govern for 50 years. That’s what the Democrats missed. They were talking to these people with companies with a $9 billion market cap employing nine people. It’s not reality. They lost sight of what the world is about.”
The liberal media has been hiding the machinations of the donor class for years, and they’re going to keep on doing it during the Trump administration. Thankfully, we seem to have a president coming to office who, rather than letting himself be pushed around by the media, knows how to use that shield for the betterment of the country.
Bannon: Liberal Media “Blind to Who We Are”
W T F ? Ignore them, they lost! You won the election!
Charlie, the useful Idiots are not just whining anymore, now they have become thugs that are threatening people and beating them. I do like violence but if these communists want a fight, they are coming to the Okay corral. It is time for a huge change in how Washington works, and it takes an outsider like Trump to change it. Despite all of the crying, protesting, and threatening, Washington must be changed. The politicians on both sides have become way too comfortable. They think they know what is best for us and are willing to sell out America. I am ignoring the whiners, but I will protect myself and my family if they get violent.
Communists? Trumps best bud is Putin you dolt. You rightie tightie’s are violent and have been looking for a fight. Fight yourself tard.
Odd, I don’t recall any wave of demonstrations and riots spreading across American cities when Conservatives lost elections. Seems to be a unique reaction for progressive/socialist/liberals.
Absolutely, KingDon. We didn’t riot and have demonstrations, but I’m wondering if we should. It seems unfairly that the evil liberals riot against US, and even Kill people. Should we pay them back.????
Maybe U remember the immediate pre-election period, when there was rife speculation about armed insurrection, including from a former Congressman.
Dozens of thousands poured spontaneously into the streets in the wake of unexpected results. Of these, several of the most extreme likely engaged in some property damage, for which I’m ashamed on their behalf.
But we’re “rioting.” Demonstrations are written into our Constitution.
THANKS !!
Demonstrations and rioting are not the same thing. One is a right the other is a crime. Look it up.
Not until we’re backed into a corner and have no recourse. These are mostly insignificant percentages of our entire population causing the problems. It’s just that the main stream media keeps playing them up to look like far greater numbers are out there in the streets causing the mayhem. And many of these, perhaps most, are paid demonstrators tha are hauled from one location to another to put on their little show. Nothing spontaneous whatsoever about these riots when they happen. Just look at the fine per-printed signs so many of them are carrying.
Their greatest fear is that, unlike Obama, Trump may force them to actually go out and get a job. Now I do realized that, under the Obama administration, there was negative employment growth, but there are still jobs available. I see signs up all the time where businesses are looking for new employees.
Thanks for your reply !!
No we should not unless our lives are put in danger. Our fighting back is exactly what Obama wants. He has been pushing for a war between Americans for a couple of years now. This man is evil and I personally just want him gone.
Defend America – It just makes me livid with anger, when I see that the dirty liberals attack our people just because we support Donald Trump. It makes me sick when I see a picture of some Trump supporter who has a bloodied face. Or where a teen was attacked and beaten just for supporting Trump. Are Trump supporters just supposed to sit back and take it ?? I think we should “PAY THEM BACK”
I agree with you but if we retaliate now Obama would call martial law and stay in office. I want him gone. That is why Obama is not telling them to stop he wants their voices heard.
Trump will handle them once he goes office. I read that these protesters are being paid by Soros to behave this way and you know Obama is behind it.
Defend America, Thanks, I see your point!! – If Trump will handle them when he is in office, I will be satisfied. It’s just that those doing that (Soros and others) make me so Angry. They are so evil.
I think it makes us all mad a h__l, but I am trying with all the strength in my being to control myself or the sake of our country .
I held a national prayer in my state and read that Texas did as well to allow Godspeople to regain control of our country and save his people. I believe he did just that. So I have another reason as well to restrain myself and that is to honor God. God will prevail.
Defend America – I believe that too. I also believe that God is saving America by way of Donald Trump. I thank God from the bottom of my heart. !! – The Prophecy about Donald Trump is coming true almost every day.
Happy Thanksgiving and a Merry Christmas.
Thanks much, same to you.
Same back at you.
America going the same path as Rome? It wasn’t their enemies outside, but the one’s within the country that destroyed Rome. A house divided can not stand.
Carry a baseball bat in the backseat of your car.
Use the National Guard on these animals!
Now that’s an idea !!
ALL the violence & intolerance is from you leftists. Leftists are just grown-up, spoiled children that whined & screamed when they didn’t get their way.
Where on earth do you get your info. Trump & Putin haven’t even met.
LEE KEPLEY IS A PAID HITLERY / SOROS TROLL
And he is vastly overpaid, because his posts are worth a pinch of monkey poop.
I think they’re planning to in the near future. Putin will be the cold, cynical and condescending person that he was with our other high-ranking politicians.
Take it easy, Kepley. Trump has long realized that Putin is a force to be reckoned with. (We all have.) Puke-tin ain’t going anywhere, and our new Commander-in-Chief must be civil to him. You might want to express yourself with more civility when you post your sentiments.
Trump is versed at killing you with kindness – he is just waiting for all the antagonists to step into the noose they have tied for themselves
fighter, Yes he is. And he is smarter than they are. !!
My cat is smarter than they are.
I’m sure it is.
Right On!! – NJ Lady
Civility is not part of the liberal demonazi vocabulary unless they get their way. When they don’t all hell breaks loose. If it was conservatives doing it Loretta Lynch would send the DOJ gestapo to deal with it.
I think you might have to admit that Vladimir Putin is a much better leader for Russia than Odumbo is for the USA!! NOW we got an equal leader to Vlad!!
So what are you, a fascist or a Communist?
I would say he is a realist.
got education? NOBODY has proved to be more violent than loser democrats-that’s a fact Jack
Well, Hillary Clinton and Barry Hussein Obama were both endorsed by the Communist party. Coincidence that they were caught rigging riots at Trumps campaigns, and after his election? Not.
Funny how all the disruption and violence always comes from the liberals including those at Trump’s rallies and you have the nerve to say we have been looking for a fight.
Get off the drugs man …they are not only making you blind but down right stupid.
Hey dufus, even the FBI’s investigation done long before the election at the request of the Clinton campaign found no connection to Putin except that he respects Trump. Another “trash mouth statement” from a typical liberal TROLL
Lee Harvey Oswell, I presume?
Take the Carolina logo off. Put you face on coward. You do not represent UNC. I once told Chris Matthews to never again mention in public that he went to Carolina. I am telling you the same.
Trump and his administration can ignore them and let the police and a revitalized FBI, after Jan. 20th, handle the anarchists as a police matter.
THE Democrats lost because us the people finally woke up to what the LIBERALS were doing to our country under this Obama Administration. Now it is time to show them we want let this happen. This is to you democrats that are trying to destroy TRUMP BEFORE HE EVEN GETS IN OUR WHITE HOUSE YOU NEED TO JUST SHUT YOUR COTTON PICKING MOUTHS CAUSE GET USE TO YOU NEVER CONTROLING OUR COUNTRY EVER AGAIN.
Got education?
actually I agree completely with the gist of what Irene says and I have two Master’s degrees.
Your Masters are probably from the same college that now have a cry room and give out playdo. This country need change from an Obama who spilt this country into and did a lousy job even tho the media hate to admit it because they have founded over him because he was black. If he were white they would be spitting out the truth of what he has done to this country.
actually one was in 71 and one in 75 Math and EE, and Colleges are a lot different now from what they were then and I also have no use for Mr Obama
White liberal elitists or as they now call themselves “white privilege crowd” that needed to prove they were not “racists” so they voted for a black socialist stooge. Just proves a college education from most of todays institutions isn’t worth the cost of the paper the diploma is printed on. They are having a terrible time making it in the real work world. It’s way too offensive to their sensitive (gutless) nature.
Ok and your right colleges aren’t what they use to be especially during the late 50’s and early 60’s when I got my degrees. If we had pulled any of the stuff they do today we would have been out on our butt.
Don’t believe him can’t you tell he is lying. The problems we have today have been accruing for decades no one party is responsible both are. When Obama was being inaugurated the republicans convened and came to an agreement that they would not work with this president on anything. They could have helped solving the health care problem, the immigration issue among others. So here they are today lying like dogs blaming Obama for everything under the sun.
Shame on our poorly informed citizenry who today seem to prefer basing their opinions on snippets of right wing propaganda rather than doing their own due diligence which would result in a very different view of events. You don’t have to like Obama to see he was trying to do the best he could with what was left at his disposal.
I’m impressed…..NOT!
If you agree with Irene you are about as intelligent as a box of rocks. Who gave you the 2 Master degrees, I want to have a talk with him.
OOOH ad hominem attack, I am really wounded

Ever heard of idiot savants they do exist you know.
Lee – you nihilistic academician – you think you can sit on your self-serving perch and judge others – sounds like the oracles of old Rome and we know how that went – please denounce your citizenship and go to whatever country you think is better where you do not have to be bothered with organizing your disposition around equal justice under law b/c you simply do not have the temerity to propose anything but antagonism which is against justice for all. Your move creatin
Thank you for your perfect placement of Lee Kepley. I love it when some smartaleck gets put in their place.
Wow, Lee. Was that really necessary? Feel superior now?
Superior – No
Benefiting from all that God gave him – Yes
Fortunately, your jealousy admits you only into the first ring of hell

Please don’t let the door hit you….
Now you’ll know what countries to avoid.
Anne – As well, I hold advanced degrees in engineering b/c I pursued them so I would not have to hold a sign in a decrepit city begging for my sustenance like the tools that soros is paying b/c they lost. This was accomplished financially by my own efforts on my dime through hard work and loans. I dedicated my professional life to the safety and security of this nation. The nations you cite that are Clinton supporters just happen to be some of the most impuning of human rights just like the red cities that the sore losers are protesting or they are nations that the leaders typically roll over on their citizens when they smell a kickback – I have been to a number of these countries and if you want to live looking over your back as to whether the officials will be incarcerating you at their whim, by all means, go live the good life there. I also just realized that you were corresponding to Lee and not Lew – Lee is an antagonist whom will be paved like a speed bump when he does not grab his a^^ with both hands and become a furtive contributing individual instead of a whining parasite who deflects personal responsibility as your fault and your problem – quite delusional they are
Mark Twain said that it is a narrow minded person who believes that there is only one way to spell a word.

For you to pass along to your friends who might want to move out of country. They’ll know what countries to avoid.
Got common sense?
Agree Irene.
You are just a lemming following the crowd.
Yea, Elizabeth, the Dems are down. Now we step on them and keep them down!
You people are so stupid, stupid funny that is.
Lest we forget, Trump would not have won, but for the Electoral College, with which he wants to do away. Different reports are saying that the majority of the votes went to Clinton – by close to 2 million, so apparently there’s still a lot of them out there…
NEED TO DEDUCT ALL THE FRAUDULENT VOTES = THEN HE’LL WHOMP HER SORRY RUMP TWICE.
No one seems to be talking about the fact that all those red states quit counting their votes when it was virtually impossible for Hillary to win. Their are literally millions upon millions of votes that were most likely for Trump that didn’t even get counted. #AuditTheVote
Exactly. Rigging the popular vote hadn’t helped her Thyness.
I AGREE!! BECAUSE AT LEAST 15% OF HER VOTE WAS FRAUD!!
And upon what do you base your assertion regarding the fraudulent votes? I’d like to see proof of this – particularly since Donald was the one who asserted this – and maybe if the entire country’s votes are recounted we’ll get some closure on this.
All those states that stopped counting when it was obvious Hillary couldn’t win were mostly red states, so millions of votes weren’t counted. If they were, Trump won the popular vote as well as the electoral. But I’d venture to say it was a whole lot more than two million.
The Obama years have been a nightmare for many older citizens. At least twice we didn’t get a Social Security raise, and since I am one of many whose only income is social security, I have to live very close to the chest. No vacations, no more fun shopping trips, no frills or extras . . . ever. I can barely pay the rent, although of course, I do, even though it means not going to movies, or enjoying other small pleasures. I’m still eating, although not as healthily as I should. And God help me if I have a doctor bill.
That’s got nothing to do with Obama you dummy. I am an older citizen too, when the stock market crashed in 08 I lost 1/3 of my retirement almost over night, funds I had been saving for 37 yrs.
If Obama hadn’t stepped up to the plate and save those miserable SOB’s who were gambling with the housing market those institutional banks would have failed and I along with millions of workers who had our retirement accounts with Wall St. would have seen pennies instead of dollars at retirement.
Your failure to save for your retirement is your own you can’t blame others or expect the gov. to give you extra funds. I sympathize with your plight but you had a lifetime to prepare for this day.
Wrong Irene…..they lost because of disgruntled Bernie supporters….and for some reason uneducated white women…..go figure.
Again with that old worn out euphemism: “woke up, wake up”. Just what is Obama doing to our country? You don’t say, only that you don’t like liberals so of course they are guilty of everything and anything.
You speak like a hysterical woman blabbering non-sense.
It’s neither Democrats or Republicans steering our nation the wrong way, IT’S BOTH. Both are guilty of self serving in their own interests and damn the American people because we keep voting for these buffoons for all the wrong reasons and as the saying goes; junk in-junk out.
List of last 12 presidents: 1. F.D. Roosevelt (D) 2. Harry Truman (D) 3.Eisenhower ( R ) 4. JFK (D) 5. Lyndon Johnson (D) 6. Nixon ( R ) 7. Gerald Ford ( R ) 8. Carter (D) 9. Reagan ( R ) 10. H.W. Bush ( R ) 11. Clinton (D) 12. George W. Bush ( R ) 13. Obama (D) 14 Trump (?)
As you can see we have a two party system. There will be more of the same in future years. So to answer you “NO” I find no reason to get used to anything different, it will continue that way for the foreseeable future.
Love it! Go Trump!
Racist is a term that is so misused. My definition is: Anyone or any organization that promotes one race over another is a racist organization. I’ll let you figure out whether or not organizations like NAACP, Black Chamber of Commerce and others, KKK, White Supremacy are all racist organizations. Our liberal friends will have an attack about this, but it’s true. Quit singling out race. Actors in the musical Hamilton lectured the Vice president that they wanted an administration for all America. but do they really. I doubt it. Just about like liberals who resort to name calling when the argument doesn’t go their way. Totally classless.
the real definition of racist is one who believes one race is superior to another. Liberals have modified it to “if you disagree with a black person, you are a racist”.
Redefine that a little. A racist is anyone who disagrees with their views is a “racist”.
Stephen Bannon, I doubt that very much…….we know all about the racist POS administration you are part of
How sad…a maggot that still can’t see!
Whatever you old fart- keep up the charade! You going to pull out the hood soon?
I bet you’re wearing your little hoody and nasty scarf right now. You race baiting, America hating, anarchist.
Yeah whatever old man…………….you might want to get a new word of the day calendar – your isn’t working too well. Bottom line, if Bannon is (and boy is he) a racist POS…and you are making excuses for him….then I guess that makes you a racist POS as well…. enjoy Thanksgiving
I did! Its an American tradition. Too bad you Soro’s anarchist punks have to work today to supplement your food stamps, by spreading lies, for that dirty commie cash, which he stole.
You REALLY should get your facts straight before you speak or post comments……you are shooting a bit too quick off the him so to speak. Yeah I am working today…..and for the record..no food stamps used here. I’m going to make an educated guess I make more that you so chill on the BS rhetoric….. Maybe you are missing some meds or something … you should not do that, it seems to affect you ability to function like a normal human being. Might also be why you buy all the Trump BS……
SICE OUR VIEWS ARE WRONG AND THEIR VIEWS ARE RIGHT WE ARE “RACIST”. WHAT A BUNCH OF BS!!!!!!
It is time their views are taken down and correct ones put up. Some of their views need to stay, but they are very FEW!! Currently I cannot think of a single ONE!!
Never said your views are wrong…..or right…. I believe all I said was Bannon is a racist alt-right POS to be exact….. I also said, if you defend this POS only because he helped Trump get elected….then perhaps you share his views as well….. But read into it whatever you want……and careful what you wish for ………………and defend 😉
Also, your blood pressure might be too high…I’d get that checked…………..
Bannon is a Great American…Hopefully, him and President Trump will be able to irradiate the propaganda of the main street left media, and bring back honest and truthful reporting.
I do not relish having to expose the incorrigible parasites for their inability to remain civil as indicated by their suppositions toward others because you do not agree with their dysfunctional wrath induced by their own poor life decisions. But, from my user ID, you may venture to guess that I have confronted evil and am aware of the cowardice that induces this congenital parasitism
Right on Bro!
Of course the libtards are going to call him a racist. This is the only defense of an idiot that has no discussion point or logical retort. Get used to it folks, a huge amount of parents have let the country down by raising children that have no common sense, accountability, responsibility and a deep seated desire to make the American people collectively , their parents. Please just hush and take care of me because I’m too lazy and stupid to do it myself. Welcome to the real world young ones, it’s a cold hard place and you only succeed if you have skills and can work hard.
Everyone remember George Soros owns all of the alphabet news agencies!! This fool wants to see the United States go down!!!

Steve Bannon, keep up the good work.
The day of “the rules are for you but not for me” are over! This is an American Revolution, long overdue!
The perks of Government Jobs will be dismantled.

RACCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCISSSSSSSSSSSS. Give it a rest.
Hey everyone it’s Thanksgiving Day, so let’s be thankful for the opportunity to live in a great nation. We all want what’s best for our country, so let’s give President elect Donald Trump a chance and work as a united country to make America great again.
Everything humans do must take into account the fact that very many people, regardless of their political party, are illogical, uninformed, selfish, and shortsighted. Hopefully the proportion is the same in both parties. In any case, the world has experimented with many forms of government. Individual greed is a big problem. IMHO, we are heading for trouble because the number of unemployed voters seems to be increasing with every election. When the majority of voters are unemployed, what will prevent them from voting for the candidates who promise to “steal from the employed to give to the unemployed.” At some point this might be acceptable. maybe when 90% of the population is (are?) unemployed. When only 51% are unemployed, maybe such a situation could cause a revolution? Combat! In any case the situation could be unstable and unpredictable. The U.S. has (so far) avoided violent economic resolution. When violence is resorted to, the result is usually that everyone becomes destitute and starts all over. I hope that smarter people than I are trying to head off this situation.
The beginning of the end was two years ago. When almost every Democrat lost, because of what I believe were a few words from our genius president which were and I quote: “I may not be on the ballot this year, but every one of my policies are.” Boom, he lost half the base that had understood what the Hell was going on here. Then, this national election, out goes the genius again and yet again he interjects the following, I would take it as a personal insult if you do not vote for Hillary. Wow. So, if you look at his video of his first bid for election and the things(true enough)he said about her, then this election and the 180 degree flip while courting any and all voters who were by that time still stupid, he lost what was left of them. Voters do not like to be TOLD what to do. It’s just this little thing about America and freedom.
