Steve Bannon, former Breitbart chief and Donald Trump‘s pick for White House chief strategist, rarely gives interviews. But The Hollywood Reporter managed to score one, and it dropped this afternoon.
And just to give you some idea of the tone he sets, this is an actual quote Bannon gave Michael Wolff:

Sure they know what they’re doing—they’re paid off traitors to the Republic.
The left and the media seem to really really hate him so I think he’s about perfect.
He does give interviews to liberal trash news when he wants disinfo spread....
Sounds like a bold guy in the mold of Breitbart.
Here is an even better interview of Bannon from a couple of years ago:
“At that moment, as we talk, there’s a knock on the door of Bannon’s office, a temporary, impersonal, middle-level executive space with a hodgepodge of chairs for constant impromptu meetings. Sen. Ted Cruz, once the Republican firebrand, now quite a small and unassuming figure, has been waiting patiently for a chat and Bannon excuses himself for a short while. It is clear when we return to our conversation that it is not just the liberal establishment that Bannon feels he has triumphed over, but the conservative one too — not least of all Fox News and its owners, the Murdochs. “They got it more wrong than anybody,” he says. “Rupert is a globalist and never understood Trump. To him, Trump is a radical. Now they’ll go centrist and build the network around Megyn Kelly.” Bannon recounts, with no small irony, that when Breitbart attacked Kelly after her challenges to Trump in the initial Republican debate, Fox News chief Roger Ailes — whom Bannon describes as an important mentor, and who Kelly’s accusations of sexual harassment would help topple in July — called to defend her. Bannon says he warned Ailes that Kelly would be out to get him too.”
The dead media today, where they are re posting a lot of yesterday’s news, I would have to agree...media doesn’t know anything...
They have only 3 things on their minds
Gay Marriage
Obamacare
Amnesty
There is very little difference in the “conservative” and “liberal” establishment.
It’s the Uniparty establishment that profits by selling out America.
Most of the “conservative” media outlets were merely propaganda organs for the Cheap Labor Express.
Bannon says of Fox News, “They got it more wrong than anybody. Rupert is a globalist and never understood Trump. To him, Trump is a radical. Now they’ll go centrist and build the network around Megyn Kelly.”
That won’t happen if O’Reilly & Hannity have anything to say about it. The main reason MeGone Kelly trashed Trump was because her pathetic book was based upon the narrative that Trump would lose the election. And she’ll continue acting like a petulant bitch because she was on the wrong side of history.
But I do like Bannon singling her & Fox News out in this interview. FNN is trash.
Bannon offers some reaction to the media uproar over Trump choosing him to be in the White House––phrases like “anti-Semite” and “white nationalist” most prominently come to mind––and he emphatically says, “I’m not a white nationalist, I’m a nationalist. I’m an economic nationalist. The globalists gutted the American working class and created a middle class in Asia. The issue now is about Americans looking to not get f—ed over.”
The lefties jumped all over President Elect Trump, because he used the “P” word ii years ago while registered as a Democrat - now Steve Bannon uses the “F” word? Expect to see all the hysterical news anchors jump on board the profanity train...
The NYT’s is the leader ... look to who is leading the NYTs!
This is a fantastic read. Congrats to Michael Wolff for not turning it into the normal Hollywood Reporter hit job. I suspect they have known each other for a long time and Bannon trusts Wolff to do it the right way, regardless of Wolff’s leanings.
I love his intelligence, directness, and guts. Thanks for sharing this!
Can’t wait to read it. Thanks!
Also love how he bottom lines Fox and Rupert and his building the network around Megyn. Rupert couldn’t have gotten it more wrong. And I love Steve calling him out on it.
It is long, but very insightful. I read it as if overhearing what Bannon has been saying to Trump all along.
