Stephen K. Bannon left his position as executive chairman of ­Breitbart News Network on Tuesday, ending his relationship with the far-right website that he helped become widely influential and that in turn abetted his rise as a political adviser and would-be kingmaker.Bannon’s departure — just days after his public criticisms of former White House colleagues led to a spectacular falling-out with President Trump and his allies — was a humbling denouement for a figure who had reached the uppermost levels of power only a year ago. It leaves him with no evident platform to promote his views and no major financial backer for his preferred candidates.His departure from Breitbart followed what appears to have been a vote of no confidence from a key supporter and investor in the website, Rebekah Mercer, Mercer’s ire by making critical comments about Trump and his family to author Michael Wolff in a book, Bannon is quoted as saying that Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, engaged in “treasonous” behavior by secretly meeting with Russian representatives during the campaign to get unflattering information about Trump’s opponent, Hillary Clinton.

“The groundskeeper at the country club didn’t do a good job, so the president got a new groundskeeper,” Gingrich said, describing Bannon’s exit from the White House. When asked if he was calling Bannon a groundskeeper — those who tend to the greens and fairways at golf courses — Gingrich said, “Yes.”If you decide that you’re so important that you can take on the president’s daughter, son-in-law, and two sons, and you lose, it has a lot of consequences" WP.

BBC broadcasters including Lyse Doucet, Clare Balding, Emily Maitlis and Sarah Montague voiced their support for Ms Gracie; while Channel 4 News presenter Cathy Newman, and Labour MPs Harriet Harman and Jess Phillips and Conservative MP Nadine Dorries have also reacted positively to the move.Many expressed their support using the hashtag #IStandWithCarrie.

I interviewedDonald Trump for The Hollywood Reporterin June 2016, and he seemed to have liked — or not disliked — the piece I wrote. "Great cover!" his press assistant, Hope Hicks, emailed me after it came . After the election, I proposed to him that I come to the White House and report an inside story for later publication — journalistically, as a fly on the wall Steve Bannon tried to gamely suggest that Trump was mere front man and that he, with plan and purpose and intellect, was, more reasonably, running the show — commanding a whiteboard of policies and initiatives that he claimed to have assembled from Trump's off-the-cuff ramblings and utterances.

The president had a lot of weird feelings about Jared Kushner being Jewish: “For Trump, giving Israel to Kushner was not only a test, it was a Jewish test: the president was singling him out for being Jewish, rewarding him for being Jewish, saddling him with an impossible hurdle for being Jewish — and, too, defaulting to the stereotyping belief in the negotiating power of Jews. ‘Dr Henry Kissinger says Jared is going to be the new Henry Kissinger,’ Trump said more than once, rather a combined compliment and slur.”  Variety

Michael Wolff is a total loser who made up stories in order to sell this really boring and untruthful book. He used Sloppy Steve Bannon, who cried when he got fired and begged for his job. Now Sloppy Steve has been dumped like a dog by almost everyone. Too bad!” DJ Trump

Michael Wolff’s Withering Portrait of President Donald Trump  https://www.newyorker.com/news/our-columnists/michael-wolffs-withering-portrait-of-president-donald-trump

“2017 was the first year that Ad Results Media’s clients spent more in podcasting than radio?—?all because the revenue from podcasts is growing so quickly. To put this into context: as podcasts audiences continue to grow, Ad Results Media has seen rates for podcast ads go up as much as 4,000 percent proportionally.”

The wider industry’s ad revenue reflects this growth: between 2016 and 2017, ad revenue grew 85 percent and is expected to reach more than $220 million by the end of 2017.

How close is the podcast industry to adopting standards across the board?Once the leading companies implement them, we’re going to get to a level playing field where everybody is speaking about the same numbers when it comes to a download. When Apple allows publishers to share [listener] data with advertisers and analytics companies, we can start to track the relation between listening patterns and results.Hernan Lopez

“Today marks the beginning of a determined, organized, mobilized campaign to get the right to vote everywhere in Alabama,” King told supporters at Selma’s Brown Chapel AME Church. “We must be ready to go to jail by the thousands. ... Our cry to the state of Alabama is a simple one. Give us the ballot!”Among those who heard his call was Viola Liuzzo, a 39-year-old white housewife from Detroit. Carl M. Cannon RealClear Politics

J. Edgar Hoover began a smear campaign against the victim to divert attention from an inconvenient fact: an FBI informant known to have participated in Klan violence had been in the killers’ car and may even have participated in the slaying. Viola’s family endured Hoover’s claiming that cuts on her arm from the car’s shattered window indicated “recent drug use” and that her proximity to Moton resembled “a necking party,” despite an autopsy revealing no traces of drugs in her system and indicating she hadn’t had sex recently before her death.Donna Britt WP
