Breitbart News is a far-right[6][7][8] American news, opinion, and commentary website.[7][8]Some sources describe it as a conservative news outlet or as part of the alt-right.[80][81][82]Its consistently conservative editorial positions overlap with the ideological positions of far-right European political parties.[citation needed] It supported Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign,[11] and political scientist Matthew Goodwin described Breitbart News as being "ultra-conservative" in orientation.[83]

Breitbart News has published a number of falsehoods and conspiracy theories,[12] as well as intentionally misleading stories,[14] including claims that Hillary Clinton and the Obama administration supported ISIS.[13] It has sometimes published these misleading stories as part of an intentional strategy to manipulate media narratives via disinformation.[15][85][14]In July 2010, Shirley Sherrod was fired from her appointed position as Georgia State Director of Rural Development for the United States Department of Agriculture.[86][87] Her firing was largely in response to coverage in Breitbart News of video excerpts from her address to an event of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in March 2010.[88] Both NAACP and White House officials apologized for their statements after a longer version of her address was reviewed.
