Breitbart News Network

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Breitbart is a conservative news and opinion site that was founded in 2007 by the late Andrew Breitbart. Its focus is to provide news and information with considerable conservative perspective.

It covers topics ranging from political news, to popular entertainment, as well more general human interest stories.


Breitbart News Network provides examples of the following tropes:
  • All Issues Are Political Issues: Given the overly conservative tone of the site,[1] even articles that are relatively politics free can slide into this, or at least the comments section of the articles will find some way to apply this trope.
  • Animal Wrongs Group: These tend to get blasted for their extremism quite often.
  • Corrupt Politician: Liberal politicians are usually covered as such, though some conservative politicians who have betrayed their principles in the course of their alleged political stances have been given exposes.
  • Gay Conservative: Milo Yiannopoulos was a Breitbart journalist and was openly gay prior to undergoing "conversion therapy". In addition, whilst Andrew Breitbart was straight, he was supportive of gay rights and hosted a pro-gay party at the Conservative Political Action Conference.
  • Political Correctness Gone Mad: Mocked shamelessly.
  • Right-Wing Militia Fanatic: Some are portrayed sympathetically, but only when they act in defiance of openly liberal political decisions.
