The number of Americans who read Breitbart is microscopic.
The ones who actually believe it's analysis can't spell 'analysis'.

Your cite below quotes Alexa, which has Breitbart at number 36
in the US - ever so slightly above "microscopic" it seems.

Admittedly your president-elect's recent victory has boosted their
readership quite substantially, either that or there's a problem with
the data.

Made an assumption and spouted that as "fact" lately?

Ps. It was just noted that Donald Trump @WhiteHouseInc has interest in
many of the Fake News sites:

Laura Ingraham, a close Trump ally currently under consideration to be
Trump’s White House press secretary, owns an online publisher called
Ingraham Media Group that runs a number of sites, including LifeZette,
a news site that frequently posts articles of dubious veracity. One
video produced by LifeZette this summer, ominously titled “Clinton
Body Count,” promoted a conspiracy theory that the Clinton family had
some role in the plane crash death of John F. Kennedy, Jr., as well as
the deaths of various friends and Democrats.

But LifeZette, for all its influence, pales in comparison to the sites
run by Floyd Brown, a Republican consultant close to Trump’s inner
circle of advisers. Brown gained notoriety nearly three decades ago
for his role in helping to produce the “Willie Horton” campaign
advertisement, a spot criticized for its use of racial messaging to
derail Michael Dukakis’s presidential bid. Brown is also the political
mentor of David Bossie, an operative who went to work for Trump’s
presidential campaign this year after founding the Citizens United
group. In an interview this year, Brown called Trump campaign manager
Kellyanne Conway a “longtime friend.”

Brown now produces a flow of reliably pro-Trump Internet content
through a company he co-owns with his family called Liftable Media
Inc., which operates a number of high-impact, tabloid-style news
outlets that exploded in size over the course of the election. One of
Brown’s sites, Western Journalism, is the 81st largest site in the
U.S. with 13 million monthly unique monthly visitors, according to
rankings maintained by the site Alexa. Another, called Conservative
Tribune, is the 50th largest site with over 19 million monthly unique
visitors. Liftable Media is run on a day to day basis by Brown’s son,
Patrick, who is the president of Liftable Media.


Brown’s sites churn out bombastic headlines with little regard to the
truth. One viral piece shared by Brown’s news outlets claimed that
President Obama had redesigned the White House logo to change the
American flag to a white flag, “a common symbol for surrender, which
has many people wondering if Obama was trying to secretly signal to
America’s enemies that he was surrendering.” The Facebook post touted
the article with the line, “We all know Obama hates the United States,
but what he just did to the White House logo is beyond the pale.”
