Breitbart News planning lawsuit against 'major media company'
The Hill ^ | 11/15/2016 | JOE CONCHA

Posted on 11/15/2016 10:59:46 AM PST by GilGil

Breitbart News is preparing a lawsuit against a "major media company" over claims that it is a white nationalist website, it said in an exclusive statement to The Hill.

The website has been under intense scrutiny since President-elect Donald Trump named Stephen Bannon as a senior White House counselor and strategist. Bannon is the former executive chairman of Breitbart News, and the site has become associated with the “alt-right” movement that helped propel Trump’s candidacy.

"Breitbart News Network, a pro-America, conservative website, is preparing a multi-million dollar lawsuit against a major media company for its baseless and defamatory claim that Breitbart News is a ‘white nationalist website,’” the statement reads.

"Breitbart News cannot allow such vicious racial lies to go unchallenged, especially by cynical, politically-motivated competitors seeking to diminish its 42 million monthly readers and its number one in the world political Facebook page. Breitbart News rejects racism in all its varied and ugly forms. Always has, always will," the statement continues.

White Nationalist may very well be bad — but I don’t know what it means.

What is a White Nationalist?

It will be against Don Lemon’s CNN.

You missed a perfect storm last night for provoking a malicious slander suit, with 3 against JOEL POLLACK.

Find it on Breitbart in Parts 1 and 2, the full segment.
Magnificent debate!

I pray our anti-Christian, anti-Conservative, slanderous, libelous, incestuous, politized media get sued into the stone age.

Don Lemon was almost desperate last night in coming up with false, vile comments against Trump and Bannon and letting his lying, vile guests get away with every nasty allegation they could spout. It was really something to behold.

I can't wait till this rotting lemon of a human gets his....and if right is might, he will.

What does “White Nationist” mean?
We should all get white nationalist t-shirts. If we are white LOL. I'm white, and if nationalist means secure the borders and America first, I guess I'm a nationalist, so may as well get the T-shirt.

Senator Reid just finished a live screed against Trump from the floor of the Senate. He quoted CNN for the proposition that Bannon is a racist. Cornyn up in rebuttal.

That's someone who won't lie on the ground, arms and legs perpendicular to their torso, at the mere glimpse of a minority.

I’ve never seen that happen. Anywhere.

Maybe there’s more to the definition.

Did you see on liberal TV, lot’s of discussion re: top secret clearance for 3 adult children of Trump? I can not believe how ignorant these TV talking heads are.

I have some idea how top secret clearance works since I was cleared for top secret clearance for a few years while working at Argonne Labs on a project for Department of State. That clearance does NOT give one permission to access any top secret documents or attend any top secret meeting, unless it is STRICTLY on NEED TO KNOW basis. Which therefore means that even if Don Jr, Eric & Ivanka were cleared for top secret, they can not simply access anything they want, which is not expressly required for them.

Anyhow, news out today says no such clearance has been asked for those 3. This is nothing more than inventing bogus issues to attack President-Elect Trump.

There is--in reality. Darn thin on the ground with the snowflake provocateurs.

I agree with your take on it.

Some of this is just plain stupidity, and the desperation to come up with something fresh and relevant.

Not saying there isn’t ulterior motive as well at times. It’s just that not everyone was given the executive set of tinker toys, if you catch my drift.

Yeah, that's why I said "if we are white".

Thanks for the valuable information re: "security clearance."

I was really puzzled about the whole thing and was wondering if it was a hoax. It sounded all so non-Trumpish.

If you have further light to shed on this, please ping me.

Thanks, Leni/MinuteGal
