Breitbart News Network (known commonly as Breitbart News, Breitbart or Breitbart.com) is a syndicated American news, opinion and commentary website founded in 2007 by conservative commentator Andrew Breitbart. Breitbart News is headquartered in Los Angeles, with bureaus in Texas, London, and Jerusalem.

Breitbart's news is delivered from a paleoconservative viewpoint.

Co-founder Larry Solov is the co-owner (along with Andrew Breitbart's widow Susie Breitbart and the Mercer family) and CEO, while Alex Marlow is the editor-in-chief, Wynton Hall is managing editor, and Peter Schweizer are senior editors-at-large.

Conceived by Andrew Breitbart during a visit to Israel in mid-2007 as a website that would be "unapologetically pro-freedom and pro-Israel", Breitbart News later aligned with the alt-right under the management of former executive chairman Steve Bannon. Political scientist Matthew Goodwin described Breitbart News as being "ultra-conservative" in orientation.

In 2016, Breitbart News became a virtual rallying spot for supporters of Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign. Breitbart's management, together with writer Milo Yiannopoulos, solicited ideas for stories from, and worked to advance and market ideas of neo-Nazi and white supremacist groups and individuals. After the election, more than 2,000 organizations removed Breitbart News from ad buys following Internet activism campaigns denouncing the site's controversial positions.

The site has published a number of falsehoods and conspiracy theories, as well as intentionally misleading stories. Its journalists are ideologically driven, and some of its content has been called misogynistic, xenophobic, and racist.
