Half way through this one:
https://www.buzzfeed.com/josephbernstein/heres-how-breitbart-and-milo-smuggled-white-nationalism
Big insight into the right-wing-billionaire backed Breitbart's "grass roots" alt-right movement.
Interesting to see this laid bare - the figures involved, Milo's cultivation of a network including writers, hackers, doxxers, and general dregs of the internet into a marketing machine for his tours and for Brietbart.
The descent of this group into spying, bullying, demanding, ostracising.
Worth a read ahead of his Australian tour.
Also read this: https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/mg9vvn/how-our-likes-helped-trump-win
Discusses the connections between Breitbart and Cambridge Analytica, and shows you just what Milo is being used for.
Bannon runs Breitbart, funded by billionaire Robert Mercer. Mercer owns a part of Cambridge Analytica, of which Bannon is/was a director.
Emails show Bannon hounding Milo the tech-blog editor of Breitbart into submission to become MILO the online messiah to millions of unhappy people.
MILO becomes part of the system to spread messages to particular groups of people. A system that micro-targets messages to discourage Clinton voters and pump up Trump voters. The system, for example, also includes an app for canvassers that gives them scripts for individual households. Individuals WITHIN households.
