    Wait a minute. You mean Steve Bannon is spinning a narrative in order to gain control of the situation in Trump’s favor? And multiple oligarch owned news outlets are lapping it up, and regurgitating it back down the throats of Americans like a mama bird?

    Sounds pretty typical.

      The conclusion I come to is Steve Bannon, for all of his faults, is very good at manipulating the media to tell stories he wants them to tell.

        Another conclusion I come to is Steve Bannon is also a pedophile. Just based on GamerGate and, fuck it, looking at him. Protecting Trump may also be protecting himself.

        100%

        Protecting the pedophiles who pay you for your services (or as he would call or “reputation rehabilitation,”) while pointing your finger at the ones who didn’t pay, shouldn’t make you a “trusted source.”

        He’s got about as much credibility as anyone else who’s name is in that file, and it’s ridiculous the media is giving him airtime (and likely paying him for his “information.”)
