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

   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.”
