It is, in other words, the perfect toxic brew for Stephen Bannon,
the Breitbart executive turned White House strategist who has fueled
Trump’s firefight with the media, discrediting and undermining the
mainstream voices opposed to his anti-immigrant, anti-trade agenda. “The
media should be embarrassed and humiliated and keep its mouth shut and
just listen for a while,” he explained in an interview with *The New York Times’s * Michael Grynbaum,
published Thursday, as he gloated about his newfound power and the
media’s failure to see Trump coming. “I want you to quote this,” Bannon
continued. “The media here is the opposition party. They don’t
understand this country. They still do not understand why Donald Trump
is the president of the United States.”
