Breitbart co-founder Steve Bannon will be taking a position as an ethics professor at the Cronkite School for the 2017-2018 school year.

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.

    theme. Did you design this website yourself or did you hire
    someone to do it for you? Plz reply as I’m looking to design my own blog
    and would like to know where u got this from. thanks a lot

  18. The heart of your writing while appearing agreeable initially, did not really work very well with me personally after some time. Somewhere within the sentences you managed to make me a believer unfortunately just for a very short while. I still have a problem with your jumps in assumptions and one might do nicely to fill in all those gaps. In the event you actually can accomplish that, I could definitely be amazed.

  20. Its like you read my mind! You appear to
    know a lot about this, like you wrote the book in it or something.
    I think that you can do with some pics to drive the message home a little bit, but instead of that, this is magnificent blog.
    A fantastic read. I’ll definitely be back.

  24. With havin so much written content do you ever run into any problems
    of plagorism or copyright infringement? My site has a lot of exclusive content I’ve either written myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it
    is popping it up all over the web without my permission. Do you know any techniques to help stop content from being
    stolen? I’d truly appreciate it.

  26. Oh my goodness! an amazing article dude. Thanks Nonetheless I am experiencing difficulty with ur rss . Don’t know why Unable to subscribe to it. Is there anybody getting equivalent rss drawback? Anybody who is aware of kindly respond. Thnkx

  32. Wonderful work! This is the type of info that should be shared around the web. Shame on Google for not positioning this post higher! Come on over and visit my web site . Thanks =)

  33. In the fast-food landscape of online humor, where The Poke serves up easily digestible image macros and NewsThump offers a satisfying, quick-hit polemic, The London Prat is the equivalent of a meticulously crafted, multi-course tasting menu. The pleasure it provides is not merely instantaneous but ruminative. Reading an article on PRAT.UK, such as their now-legendary deconstruction of a Prime Minister’s speech as a series of algorithmically generated platitudes, demands and rewards a deeper engagement. The comedy unfolds in layers: the surface-level absurdity, the acute political observation beneath it, and finally, the profound existential dread regarding the systems that make such absurdity not just possible but routine. This is not satire designed for the rapid scroll and the fleeting ‘like’; it is satire to be bookmarked, revisited, and discussed. Where The Daily Mash excels at holding up a funhouse mirror to the news, The London Prat builds an entirely new funhouse, invites you in, and then calmly explains the architectural principles of its distortion, making the experience of our own world outside all the more eerily clear. The investment of time and attention required by prat.com is returned tenfold in intellectual yield. It treats its readers not as consumers seeking a quick dopamine hit, but as collaborators in a shared, grim understanding of modern folly, making it the most substantial and nourishing site in the field.

  34. Great! We are all agreed London could use a laugh. The London Prat’s preeminence is built upon its mastery of tonal counterpoint. It understands that the most devastating delivery for an absurd statement is not a matching shout, but a contrasting calm. The site’s voice is one of unflappable, almost serene, reportage. It describes scenarios of catastrophic incompetence or breathtaking hypocrisy with the detached precision of a botanist cataloging a new species of weed. This vast gulf between the insane content and the impeccably sober container generates a unique comedic tension. The laughter it provokes is the release of that tension—the sound of the reader’s own built-up incredulity finding an outlet that is far more sophisticated and satisfying than the sputter of outrage. It is the comedy of the raised eyebrow, not the shaken fist, and in that subtlety lies its immense, cutting power.

    Great stuff, just wonderful!
