I don\u2019t always like what they have to say, but I respect their role and their right to exist.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, that \u201cright to exist\u201d apparently doesn\u2019t include all conservative media.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBreitbart is something different,\u201d Reynolds wrote. \u201cThey make Fox News look like a Democratic Party pamphlet. They\u2019re a different breed altogether \u2013 not just conservative but radical, bigoted, anti-Muslim, anti-Semitic conspiracy peddlers who never have been and never should be anywhere near the levers of power in this country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The email came immediately after GOP nominee Donald Trump named Steve Bannon, the executive chairman of Breitbart News and a former investment banker, to the post of chief executive of his campaign.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2016\/08\/18\/hillary-campaign-vows-to-destroy-opposition-website\/\">The Daily Caller reported<\/a> Reynolds confirmed that one of the goals of Clinton\u2019s campaign is to \u201censure Breitbart is destroyed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A pioneer of Internet news in the 1990s, WND cofounder and CEO Joseph Farah recalled that Hillary Clinton has been at odds with the new media since the beginning.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHillary Clinton has a long history of intimidation against the alternative media \u2013 which simply means those in the press she can\u2019t control,\u201d Farah said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have a lot of experience with this going back more than 20 years,\u201d he explained. \u201cI was targeted by her as one of the founding fathers of the alternative media going back more than two decades. I was a victim of a politically motivated IRS audit back then. And I was the journalist who exposed the broad pattern of the Clinton administration\u2019s use of the IRS as its political attack dog.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Farah said that what Hillary Clinton is doing now \u201cis just what the Clintons have always done \u2013 smear, attack, intimidate, bully, shakedown, punish \u2013 without any regard for the First Amendment and their constitutional limitations on power.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGod forbid the American people give the Clintons another chance after what that wrought on liberty in the 1990s,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/2016-election\/clinton-s-vast-right-wing-conspiracy-comes-full-circle-n633036\">NBC News described<\/a> the attack on Breitbart as \u201cClinton\u2019s \u2018Right-Wing Conspiracy\u2019 Comes Full Circle With Trump Shake Up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The network said the Clintons \u201chave long maintained that a \u2018vast right-wing conspiracy\u2019 is out to get them\u201d and believe \u201cconservative media outlets, and the donors and political operatives behind them, are responsible for creating what Bill Clinton called a \u2018cartoon\u2019 version of his wife: A corrupt, venal, bloodstained \u2013 and now sickly \u2013 strawman that bares (sic) little resemblance to reality.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hillary Clinton trotted out the \u201cconspiracy\u201d claims again only a few months ago, telling a New Hampshire audience it was alive and well although, \u201cAt this point it\u2019s probably not correct to say it\u2019s a conspiracy because it\u2019s out in the open,\u201d NBC reported.<\/p>\n<p>VIDEO:\u00a0House of Clinton<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/videos.lifezette.com\/players\/x7Gi3HDh-orfAMWkd.html\" width=\"320\" height=\"260\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"auto\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/2016-presidential-race\/2016\/08\/17\/clinton-campaign-denounces-breitbart-news-divisive-racist-anti-muslim-anti-semitic-donald-trump-hires-steve-bannon\/\">Breitbart opened the throttle<\/a> on the issue when the Clinton campaign comments appeared, noting that Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook had referred to the site as a \u201cso-called news site.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He even, according to Breitbart, quoted the discredited Southern Poverty Law Center\u2019s blast at Breitbart in his diatribe.<\/p>\n<p>The Clinton campaign\u2019s Reynolds\u2019 said of Breitbart: \u201cIt goes without saying that we have to beat these people.

And they call us \u2018conspiracy theorists,\u2019 even though Clinton herself was the original \u2018birther!\u2019 Yet, according to her team, it\u2019s Breitbart News that is \u2018divisive.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFending off charges of hatred and bigotry is nothing new for those who oppose the political and media establishment, but Hillary Clinton is cheapening the meaning of these once-powerful words \u2013 and she believes the American people are too stupid to see what she is doing. No wonder only 11% find her honest and trustworthy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/wnd.com\/2014\/04\/released-clinton-files-on-media-enemies\/\">WND reported only two years ago<\/a> on the release of the dossiers the Clinton White House kept on its media enemies, including \u201cThe Communication Stream of Conspiracy Commerce,\u201d originally some 331 pages.<\/p>\n<p>It was reduced to only 28 pages in the sanitized and heavily redacted version <a href=\"http:\/\/www.clintonlibrary.gov\/assets\/storage\/Research%20-%20Digital%20Library\/formerlywithheld\/batch4\/2007-0080-F.pdf\">posted by the presidential library.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Communication Stream of Conspiracy Commerce refers to the mode of communication employed by the right wing to convey their fringe stories into legitimate subjects of coverage by the mainstream media,\u201d explained the report. \u201cThis is how the stream works: Well-funded right wing think tanks and individuals underwrite conservative newsletters and newspapers such as the Western Journalism Center, the American Spectator and the Pittsburgh Tribune Review. Next, the stories are reprinted on the Internet where they are bounced into the mainstream media through one of two ways: 1) the story will be picked up by the British tabloids and covered as a major story, from which the American right-of-center mainstream media, (i.e. the Wall Street Journal, Washington Times and New York Post) will then pick the story up; or 2) The story will be bounced directly from the Internet to the right-of-center mainstream American media. After the mainstream right-of-center media covers the story, congressional committees will look into the story. After Congress looks into the story, the story now has the legitimacy to be covered by the remainder of the American mainstream press as a \u2018real\u2019 story.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The records reveal how the Clinton administration tried to prevent so-called \u201cmainstream media\u201d from picking up such stories. That effort came in several parts:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The original 331-page report was distributed by the White House and the Democratic National Committee to select reporters in an effort to discredit those behind the critical reports on the Clinton White House \u2013 namely billionaire Richard Mellon Scaife, journalist Joseph Farah, political activist Floyd Brown and the American Spectator.<\/li>\n<li>Hillary Clinton\u2019s public relations effort to vilify what she called \u201cthe vast right-wing conspiracy.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>A pattern of politically motivated audits of individuals and organizations by the Internal Revenue Service.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s quite an amazing story,\u201d said Farah at the time the document was released.<\/p>\n<p>In the 1990s, Farah ran the Western Journalism Center, which was audited after the White House sent the IRS a letter from a constituent calling for an investigation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt may all have a familiar ring to the tea-party groups of the 21st century. Clinton got away with it, so it was bound to happen again \u2013 and it most assuredly has,\u201d Farah said.<\/p>\n<p>The Clinton document stated: \u201cThe Internet has become one of the major and most dynamic modes of communication. The Internet can link people, groups and organizations together instantly. Moreover, it allows an extraordinary amount of unregulated data and information to be located in one area and available to all. The right wing has seized upon the Internet as a means of communicating its ideas to people. Moreover, evidence exists that Republican staffers surf the Internet, interacting with extremists in order to exchange ideas and information.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Four of the 28 pages in the redacted report focused on Farah, his history running daily newspapers, his religious views and his investigations into official corruption.<\/p>\n<p>Farah noted the concern expressed in the report about \u201cunregulated data.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s Hillary, right there,\u201d he said of the report. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t be surprised if she wrote that section herself. A few years later she deplored the fact that the Internet lacks \u2018any kind of editing function or gatekeeping function.&#8217;\u201d<br \/>\n___<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wnd.com\/2016\/08\/its-ba-a-ack-hillarys-vast-right-wing-conspiracy\/#dG8lJlimr17xZ2OA.99\">http:\/\/www.wnd.com\/2016\/08\/its-ba-a-ack-hillarys-vast-right-wing-conspiracy\/#dG8lJlimr17xZ2OA.99<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WND EXCLUSIVE IT&#8217;S BA-A-ACK!
