Breitbart News Is Preparing to Troll Tech

Breitbart News has spent most of the past decade assaulting what it sees as the sacred cows worshiped by liberals in government, journalism, and Hollywood. Now it’s turning to Big Tech. On Tuesday the right-wing news site is launching Breitbart Tech, a new section of its website focused on technology.

The man in charge of the effort is Milo Yiannopoulos, a British journalist and provocateur who co-founded the Kernel tech site before moving to Breitbart. The site has hired six full-time staffers dedicated to subjects such as e-sports and free speech on the Internet. Expect not to see much coverage on, say, the economics of venture capital, but a lot on the simmering culture wars that happen in the far corners of Reddit. There will also be plenty of Yiannopoulos himself. His writing generally casts him as the protagonist, and his articles tend to start off with phrases like, “I’m a slut, and I have been shamed,” or “I am always right.” A Fusion profile referred to him as the “ultimate troll.”
