    Probably won't result in much:

    "Breitbart News Network, a U.S. news and opinion website founded in 2007 by conservative entrepreneur Andrew Beitbart for which Bannon served as an executive chairman, has been vocal in its promotion of Trump throughout the primary and general election seasons, and is frequently associated with the “alt-right” movement."

    Interesting to see Trump say he is softening, while at the same time associating his campaign with the alt-right.

    As an aside, they make it a point to say who the site's founder was, but his widow said that Andrew Breitbart himself would have been appalled by what the site bearing his name has become.

    It's true.

    But I imagine they want to be careful when referencing a website bearing someone's actual name to make sure people understand the players. "Former Breitbart executive" could inadvertently be tied to Andrew Breitbart personally rather than the site he founded.

    That's why I like it when websites just give themselves stupid startup names that don't resemble real words.
