but then, shocking news. >> well-known conservative blogger andrew breitbart has died. >> breitbart reportedlysed last night, and the coroner says he died of natural causes. >> i got the news at 3:30 in the morning, like it was out of a movie, a horrifying moment, and it was steve on the other line. and he gave me the bad news very quickly and i had a delayed response, i couldn't process it at that moment. >> narrator: with the mercers' support, bannon took over. breitbart changed dramatically, from emphasizing hollywood culture to washington power politics. >> bannon is very, very into the inner workings of power in washington, d.c. you can see that the website starts to push political narratives that are dc-centric a lot more than it probably would have if andrew had been alive. >> narrator: in washington, steve bannon set up operations in a townhouse he called "the breitbart embassy." >> i actually met steve for the first time at the so-called breitbart embassy. steve is a very engaging, charismatic person. i found him to be actually very charming. he had a clear sense of vision and objecti

and watch breitbart. you can see all the headlines and it's crazy.f. why these people even see this kind of stuff but i see at influencing the freedommeant, conference. if it keeps going like that republicans can just hang it up. >> guest: that was certainly bannon's approach at breitbart was just incredible how the web site changed when andrew wright bart ran it. of course it was more hollywood centric. it was big hollywood.. when they consolidated primarily the focus to washington the alliance with jeff sessions, the immigration battle and getting at the republican establishment leadership, that was all a massive plan they really did work. their numbers of hits and people who use breitbart as theirir primary news source was a phenomenal growth over three or four years and it's what donald trump plugged into and got when he got bannon. it's been a real revolutionary change in that sense i think in terms of the way and again you read stuff on the immigration battle. doubt was breitbart and bannon and mill

bannon with breitbart, what do you and you learned about him breitbart new? film: we spent time in the wrestling with the question. a lot of people say you couldn't editor-in-chief of breitbart without being racist. we talked to awful lot of people about it, here is consistent approach, there are people who f course say you couldn't run that website, which has sections ike black crime and illegal alien crime and that engenders the comments you can read at breitbart, truly racist, mason-in-lawingnistic, xenophobic quotes, you couldn't run that if you were not a racist. talked to said, wait a minute, the guy personally see himself and they have never seen him or heard him antisemic, or racist. it is true, running the site creates complications, others are, if tter who you you you're a prominent and he's really out op three there fringe republican going to ves, you're naturally get pegged with those descriptions by the liberal left and by the media. in a way tis a question that is answered in our film, a viewer i leave to the and the american people to decide ba

you've got the conservative press, right-wing press, breitbart. >> how can we as journalists combat fake news. >> most people if confronted by fact that suverts their belief symptoms, if it challenges their belief system, they will not change what they believe in order to acknowledge the fact. why? because our belief systems sustain us day by day. our religious views, our political bias, our understanding of science. we stick with our belief system, which supports us in a very turbulent world, and facts can be very disturbing. facts can upset your world view. and unless you have the strength within and the assurance of the material, of the information, you tend to cling to what gives you solace, what gives you comfort, what gives you a way of being in the world that's so changing so rapidly that you can hold onto who you are and what you think. that's human nature, but we have to keep as journalists being so insis tpt that what we're doing is grounded in evidence of reality, that people in time learn to change their belief systems to fit the reality. >> you were accused in the past of be

i think if you're a fox—watching, breitbart—reading alt—righter, you might think that.is we've watched in this reality tv episode of ‘trump goes to europe and the middle east', we've watched two trumps. there was the trump who was lavished and banquited in saudi arabia and who seemed very much at home, who managed to endear himself and avoid the issue of human rights, in a country whose values really are absolutely contrary to america, never touched those issues, not even a nod. goes off to israel, welcomed with literally a bear hug. never mentions the settlements. then he comes to europe, to the closest friends america has, the g7, and scolds them. and so you see this contradiction. in many ways, he's the friendly guy in those countries and the ugly american here. so i don't think... it's true there hasn't been a massive blunder. there are lots of great memes of him pushing the president of macedonia, is it? yes, macedonia. and his own wife, at one stage, i think. yeah. er, montenegro, was it macedonia? i think it was montenegro. montenegro, yes. but, yeah, and great t
