=== A possible reason why Breitbart moved leftward on Muslim immigration ===
Advertising revenue is down 90 percent at Breitbart.[https://digiday.com/media/breitbart-ads-plummet-nearly-90-percent-three-months-trumps-troubles-mount/]
Perhaps, the advertising is the real problem. Post Trump being elected the mainstream media hammered Bannon/Breitbart. Also, leftists are pushing advertisers not to advertise on right-wing news outlets. Maybe Breitbart is moving leftward into cuckservative territory on immigration to stay profitable.

:I just researched Brietbart, and the Mercer family remain big owners, so I don't think there's a big shift in editorial policy. You should recognize, Bannon & Trump are going through what every White House goes through - reconciling campaign rhetoric with reality, what can practically be accomplished, while remaining true to their ideological objectives and voters. Tough task. It's exactly what Baby Bush and Obama had to do, too. Walk back tuff talk on terrorism while being fair to the vast majority of Muslims worldwide who have no connection (Obama went too far denying any connection to Islam).
:Saudi Arabia is not the bogeyman. And we need to spend time explaining two currents within fundamentalist Salafi-Wahhabism, one, the Saudi state official religion, the other, a renegade version that seeks to overthrow the Saudi state.
:If your looking for good source, I'd recommend Tyler Durden of zerohedgefund. I don't know if he cranks out daily filler, but on the big, important, often confusing stories, he is very fast to put out excellent researched analysis with good supporting links. Has a knowledgeable following, and a much tougher target for the MSM hatemongers to destroy.
