About
Breitbart News is a far-right conservative news and opinion website founded by Andrew Breitbart, known for promoting conservative, nationalist, populist, and right-wing agendas, including anti-Islam viewpoints. It focuses on conservative, nationalist, and populist issues and is recognized for its populist conservative coverage and influence in the Trump era. The organization has shared leadership and a funding source linked to Robert Mercer, engaging in coordinated ideological messaging. While the Mercer Family Foundation is a 501(c)(3), the Mercer family's personal wealth—managed alongside foundation assets—was a primary funder of Breitbart.
