Breitbart New Right

The New Right has significantly revised the relationship between conservatism and tradition, however. The New Right attempts to fuse economic libertarianism with state and social authoritarianism. As such, it is a blend of radical, reactionary and traditional features. Its radicalism is evident in its robust efforts to dismantle or ‘roll back’ interventionist government and liberal social values. This radicalism is clearest in relation to the liberal New Right, which draws on rational theories and abstract principles, and so dismisses tradition. New Right radicalism is nevertheless reactionary in that both the liberal and conservative New Right hark back to a 19th century ‘golden age’ of supposed economic prosperity and moral fortitude. However, the conservative New Right also makes an appeal to tradition, particularly through its emphasis on so-called ‘traditional values’.

The New Left was a political movement in the 1960s and the 1970s. This movement consisted of agitators, educators, youth and others who wanted reform especially on issues such as social justice, abortion, gender roles, drugs, gay rights, and questions of social class (Klimke, 2). Thinkers such as C. Wright Mills, Herbert Marcuse (also referred to as the “Father of the New Left”) and groups such as the Situationist Internationale influenced the movement (Klimke,2). The New Left’s purpose was to make “a new path to social justice and revolution that excluded the policies and ideologies of both Western Democracy and the Communist coalition” (Klimke, 3).

Breitbart News Network (known commonly as Breitbart News, Breitbart or Breitbart.com) is a far-right[5] American news, opinion and commentary[6][7] website founded in 2007 by Andrew Breitbart. Breitbart News has published a number of falsehoods and conspiracy theories,[8][9][10] as well as intentionally misleading stories.

n Australia the "New Right" refers to a late 1970s/1980s onward movement both within and outside of the Liberal/National Coalition which advocates economically liberal and increased socially conservative policies (as opposed to the "old right" which advocated economically conservative policies and small-l liberals with more socially liberal views). Unlike the United Kingdom and United States, but like neighbouring New Zealand, the 1980s saw the Australian Labor Party initiate Third Way economic reforms, which bear some familiarity to "New Right" ideology. After the John Howard Coalition defeated 13-year Labor government at the 1996 federal election, economic reforms were taken further, some examples being wholesale labour market

Steve Bannon is part of the small but vocal group who are Islamophobic. However, he has very extreme views when it comes to Islam.

We are defining largest as newspapers that have the highest level of readership. During this stage, we will analyze all article headlines that are linked to either the BLM or ALM movements. We will be looking for the way that the movements are portrayed, whether that may be positively, negatively, or in a neutral manner. As many newspapers are posting their articles on the internet, we will also analyze the articles that are posted online. To show the differentiation between mediums, we will also analyze how many shares an article posted on Facebook has received. This will allow us the opportunity to see how news is also through both traditional media and social media. From this, we will use the information gathered to better understand how the media portrayed the

Social workers currently practicing and those in school alike are being called to action by Sanders (2016) to tackle the injustices of oppression. With the introduction of racism and bigotry awareness classes, students contemplate their feelings while the oppressive culture in the United States perpetuates. Culture is viewed as a system that passes on creations, ideals, values and knowledge from one generation to the next (Appleby, Colon, Hamilton, 2011). Social media is largely an unrestricted form of receiving and sharing information to the American public. Which allows an outlet for bigotry, hatred and racism to become normalized (Sanders, 2016).

Social media, networks, and news stations manipulate their posts and the fears of their viewers in order to generate more attention towards their media. The attention economy is a metaphor of the economic profit and the payment of the attention from viewers. In Danah Boyd’s article “Whether the digital era improves society is up to its users – that's us”, she claims that we “live in a culture of fear” and that “social media is magnifying the attention economy” (Boyd). Boyd in both her article and her public talk “The Power of Fear in Networked Publics” focuses on three types of fear: fear of the unknown, fear for the young, and fear of the young. She also discusses the fearmongering content shared through networks.

Breitbart News Network is a conservative leaning news site, founded in 2007 by conservative commentator Andrew Breitbart (1969–2012). Stephen Bannon, the chairman of Breitbart News Network since Andrew Breitbart’s death, helped construct “Clinton Cash”, an anti-Clinton book, into a film.

In this following report, the fascism ideology will be examined and applied to a Canadian political party and to three current political issues.

For example, Facebook, who claims to provide “data-driven and ideologically neutral” trending news, was recently under fire for having a liberal bias (Friedman). Conservative media leaders met up with Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook CEO, to talk about this bias and it revealed that “trending topics were chosen by curators with a liberal bias” (Friedman). The conservative leaders invoked the idea that social media that provide news do so with a systematic unconscious bias. For example, a media site might invoke that idea that one is “kind of a sexist” if he loathes “the idea of Hillary Clinton becoming president” even if it is “for reasons both related to her politics and her public persona” and they systematically use this to “parse the reasons why voters do and do not respond to a particular candidate” (Friedman). These unconscious biases, used by many news outlets, are then manipulated to turn a voter’s views against himself, which in turn can greatly affect the outcome of his

With the popularization and expansion of the internet in recent years, America and other Western countries have found themselves developing into media-dominated cultures. Social media platforms, forums, and other types of online interaction are becoming primary forms of communication between people with similar or differing views, bringing political topics into daily discussion. However, the implications of such a broad and unrestrained network lead to negative outcomes. Whether it be in the form of a direct slur used on Twitter or a slight jab in a discussion board, the ongoing presence of racism on the internet cannot be denied. Although some forms may appear more indirectly, the effects are not diminished; implicit forms of racism are just as impactful as direct attacks. This paper argues that the internet serves as a carrier of racism by allowing racism to thrive through forms of racial microaggressions and cloaked websites. Toward the end of the essay, possible solutions for this issue will be discussed as well.

Ideas resurfaced on social media that were thought to have been left behind by the greater part of the nation in the post-civil rights era, as racism and police brutality came into the lime light of our news and social media outlets. People whom we have known all of our lives have suddenly lost shame for their politically incorrect beliefs on Facebook and on their ballots. There has been a surge of integral nationalism as proven by the creation

Much like VICE, Breitbart is a “new” media outlet, which formed online. However, unlike VICE, Breitbart channels its energy exclusively into political opinion pieces, and far-right leaning coverage of current events. Despite their polar opposite political leans, both VICE and Breitbart share the values and attitudes of Current 2.

The phrase “Alternative Right” was first coined by Richard Spencer in 2010 and has become an umbrella term to describe a neo-reactionary movement to push back against progressive domination of political and social spheres. This is done by creating an idea space in which issues such as race and nationalism can be discussed without considering left-wing positions on the subject. This puts the Alt-Right outside of mainstream conservatism, which is dominated by left-wing philosophies on race, nationalism, and gender relations and has been summed up by the Alt-Right with the pejorative label “Cuckservative” which in many ways is a mirror of the liberal use of “Regressive Left”. The Alt-Right seems to be a reaction to the lack of conservative doctrine on subjects dominated by left-wing points of view.
