Reporter David Ng visits the Los Angeles offices of Breitbart News, where CEO and co-founder Larry Solov runs the site.

From the Los Angeles Times:

It all began a little more than 10 years ago in a basement in Westwood: a small army of young employees in T-shirts and shorts huddled over their laptops, determined to launch a news site that would shake up the world of conservative media.

At first, the site started by Andrew Breitbart was a simple news aggregation service. But in a few short years it evolved into an idiosyncratic voice combining original reporting, incendiary commentary and outright trolling, in keeping with the rambunctious spirit of its founder, who died in 2012.

…

Others laughed it off as a journalistic lightweight catering to a far-right fringe known as the alt-right. No one’s laughing anymore.

…

In a series of interviews, leaders sounded a confident and defiantly unapologetic note. As a company, it is aiming for no less than the world. “The goal is to become a global news network,” said Larry Solov, the company’s president and chief executive officer.



…

A recent visit showed that Breitbart retains its startup flavor, with mostly young reporters typing away on laptops. The door to the main conference room is emblazoned with the hashtag #War — a mantra Breitbart instilled in his team. The company even has a mascot: the honey badger, the carnivore and YouTube star known for its tenacious attitude and thick skin — qualities that the newsroom has adopted as its own.

[Editor-in-Chief Alex] Marlow sees an opportunity to lure Trump supporters put off by Fox News’ ambivalent take on the Republican candidate, since “so much of their audience feels betrayed by how they covered this presidential race.”

…

“We think we were influential in the election and people are resentful of it,” said Solov, noting that he is Jewish, as was Breitbart.

“We are a nationalist website. How the word ‘white’ got tacked on is part of a coordinated media smear campaign,” said Marlow. “We like that we have a border — we don’t want to cede our country to unelected global bureaucrats. It has nothing to do with skin tone.”

Exactly!!! Loving one's country isn't a "white" thing, it's an American thing. We don't want to be a pig stye of socialist, open borders, oligarchial globalism. We don't want to be part of the Crones and Drones. We want to be ourselves, in a land free enough to be ourselves, whatever that is. But we also want to continue to be The Americans, The Americans who ride to the rescue, who stop evil in all its forms when it threatens our country and our citizens, The Americans .... the whole world knows WHO WE ARE. It just thought for awhile we decided to be something else because that's what our treasonous leaders told them.

Well, WE ARE WHO WE ALWAYS WERE: The Americans.

We are The Americans,
And this is the United States.
We not only decide what happens here,
We control what happens here. -- Judy

Best no one ever forgets that again, because your worst nightmare is 250 million pissed-off Americans.

Have you heard the latest? NPR wants to stop doing interviews with conservatives. I'm not a conservative, I'm a Republican, but I'll be damn if I want our government underwriting any organization that wants to control political discourse at taxpayer expense, so it's time to defund NPR. GET R DONE. Use the money to help rebuild our cities, build the wall, fund more immigration judges or reduce the debt.

NPR gets taxpayers dollars and they need to be cut off! Why is my money paying for this?

NOW is the time to join hands Globally...get on the TRUMP TRAIN...and Drain Your Swamp! This is a movement and needs to sweep across the Globe. End the EU and UN destructive policies.

Do not sit on your butts...get together...get your game plan on...and get out and vote and reverse the damage that has been done by the likes of the Bushes, the Clinton's, the Obama's and Merkel destroying our Countries and Borders.

Vote out your corrupt leaders, secure ALL our borders, deport every refugee, asylum and illegal alien. No benefits, no money.

We must vote for secure borders, safety of our citizens, jobs, peace and prosperity in ALL our countries.

End the New World Order!

End the FAILED refugee, asylum and illegal invasion of OUR countries.

You want America? You want Europe? Go build it on YOUR soil, with YOUR money...not ours!
