28. "and journalists from Breitbart News"

Believing they are losing the messaging war with progressives, a group of prominent conservatives in Washington—including the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and journalists from Breitbart News and the Washington Examiner—has been meeting privately since early this year to concoct talking points, coordinate messaging, and hatch plans for "a 30 front war seeking to fundamentally transform the nation," according to documents obtained by Mother Jones.


I have a hard time taking any article seriously that has "journalists from Breitbart News" in it. And, upon further reading, I see I'm right this time too. The is nothing more than a bunch of right wingers thinking that they are still in touch with reality because of the media bubble in which they reside. They think that if they are the loudest voice in the bubble, they "win the argument" in the real world. Sorry, it doesn't work that way. This will be just a circle jerk with an angle to extract even more money from their (dwindling) base.
