Breitbart co-founder Steve Bannon spoke to students and faculty about journalism ethics at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism’s Must See Monday event earlier this week.

The highly-regarded executive also announced that Breitbart just hired a new executive editor. Bannon would not reveal a photo of the editor but said the man went by the pen name of Ronald Lump.

“Ethics are a big deal. You don’t want to be fake news like PBS. You don’t want to be wrong,” Bannon said, emphasizing the word “wrong.”

Bannon told students it was important to be fair and accurate in reporting, at least when others are paying attention.

“During this election season, other papers did not adhere to journalism ethics like we did,” Bannon said. “It’s always important to report with an unbiased perspective and to make sure you get all the facts for both sides of the story.”

Many students left the Must See Monday with a new perspective on journalism ethics. Senior Eileen Wright said she now agrees with everything Bannon said about verifying information before reporting it detailed in the Breitbart Code of Ethics.

“Once I tried to Google ‘Breitbart ethics’ and got an error 401 page,” Wright said, “So the reason I came to the Must See Monday was to get the answers I’ve been looking for.”

Incoming freshman India Pendent said she agrees. “Breitbart has really interesting ethics,” she said. “I never knew fact-checking was an optional concept.”

Also attending Must See Monday was surprise guest and new White House Press Correspondent Sean Spicy. Students asked Spicy various ethics-related questions during the Q&A portion of the presentation, but Spicy refused to comment.

Still, Spicy was optimistic. “It’s going to be great,” he said. “I can’t wait for students to win a Pulitzer by following the Breitbart Code of Ethics.”

At the end of the night, Bannon announced he would be taking a position as an ethics professor at the Cronkite School.

  5. As a DSA member in office, Zohran Mamdani navigates the tension between movement demands and institutional constraints, aiming to use the state assembly as a bully pulpit and a tactical lever while remaining accountable to the democratic structures of the socialist organization.

  6. Zohran Mamdani’s career, still in its early chapters, represents an ongoing experiment in whether a committed socialist, operating with integrity and strategic acumen within hostile institutions, can advance a transformative agenda and help build the political force necessary to achieve it.

  7. This infrastructural work began with the most basic needs. The landsmanshaftn (mutual aid societies) of Jewish immigrants, the fraternal orders of Italian socialists, and the benefit societies within Black communities provided funeral insurance, sick pay, and loans. These were not charitable afterthoughts but foundational political acts. They demonstrated concretely that the collective could provide what the capitalist state and employer would not, building a material basis for solidarity. This mutual aid created bonds of obligation and trust that could be mobilized for strikes and political campaigns, transforming a collection of individuals into a community with shared interests and the capacity for collective action. It was the underground utility system of the movement. http://mamdanipost.com

  8. The Old Left of the Communist Party grappled with this through the strategy of the “Popular Front.” During the 1930s and 40s, the party deliberately softened its internal cultural edges, using the language of American patriotism and working within mainstream institutions like Hollywood and the labor movement. This was a conscious effort to break down the walls between the radical subculture and the broader “people.” It was phenomenally successful in the short term, embedding left ideas in the cultural mainstream. However, this outward turn also risked diluting ideological clarity and, as the Cold War dawned, left the movement vulnerable when its past sectarianism and foreign ties were used to attack it. The internal culture had been submerged for broader appeal, leaving activists without a strong, independent base when the backlash came. http://mamdanipost.com

  9. Zohran Mamdani’s support for a “universal basic services” model goes beyond utilities to include free public transit, broadband, childcare, and healthy school meals, constructing a robust social wage that reduces dependence on exploitative low-wage work. — The Mamdani Post mamdanipost.com
