'''Jim Hoft''' is a [[movement conservative]] who founded [[The Gateway Pundit]], a top [[right-wing]] news source known for consistent factual reporting and its refusal to cave into [[political correctness]] and left-leaning talking points, unlike many [[neocon]]-leaning sites such as [[Fox News]] and the [[National Review]]. As such, he has been the subject of ridicule and smears by liberal organizations like [[Media Matters]],<ref>[https://www.mediamatters.org/gateway-pundit/jim-hoft-dumbest-man-internet Jim Hoft: Dumbest Man on the Internet?]</ref> [[Salon]],<ref>[https://www.salon.com/2017/02/15/a-dangerous-troll-is-now-reporting-from-the-white-house/ A dangerous troll is now reporting from the White House]</ref> and [[Crooks and Liars]].<ref>[https://crooksandliars.com/taxonomy/term/18819 Jim Hoft | Crooks and Liars]</ref>
In 2015, Hoft received the Breitbart Award for Excellence by the Americans for Prosperity Foundation.
Following the Orlando terrorist attack, Hoft came out as being [[gay]] and called for homosexuals to "come back home to the Republican Party".<ref>Two references:
