>>I haven't read anything by Bannon and don't plan to, but based on what you've said, the appointment is an imprudent one.
Here's what a Jewish reporter (at the dreaded anti-Semitic Breitbart) has to say about the labels leveled at Bannon by the MSM:
http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/11/14/horowitz-anti-bannon-hysteria-more-evidence-the-left-has-lost-touch-with-the-american-people/I agree that this writer has an indelicate style unlikely to earn many friends outside his own echo chamber. However, he asserts that the anti-Semite label directed at Bannon relies on a single sentence from an angry ex-wife in divorce court and reliance by CNN on a headline - that the above Jewish writer says *he* wrote, in an article that had nothing to do with Bannon and was not requested by Breitbart.
Way to go MSM. Unless there's more, the anti-Semitic label is a vicious smear, just as it is of Trump.
At this stage IMHO it's safer to believe the opposite of whatever the MSM says about Trump and his selections, until proven otherwise. For example, the MSM is piling in calling Bannon a White Supremacist. I'll bet you a pint of best stout in due course, that this will turn out to be another lie.
If the MSM really wonders why Trump chose Bannon for a trusted adviser rather than one of the MSM grandees- perhaps they should look in the mirror.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
