Breitbart News, founded in 2005 by Andrew Breitbart, is a conservative news aggregator that emphasizes original reporting and opinion content. The organization gained recognition for breaking significant stories, such as the Anthony Weiner sexting scandal and the ACORN undercover videos. It features commentary from various far-right voices and has a strong focus on pro-Israel, anti-establishment, and nationalist viewpoints. Breitbart.tv was launched in 2007 as a dedicated video blog but has since been fully integrated into the main Breitbart.com platform. The site maintains global bureaus in Washington DC, Los Angeles, London, Jerusalem, and Rome, allowing it to cover a wide range of topics relevant to its audience. The organization has received substantial financial backing, including significant investments from billionaire Robert Mercer.
