Breitbart News Network (known commonly as Breitbart News, Breitbart or Breitbart.com) is a politically conservative^[4]^[5]^[6] American news, opinion and commentary^[7]^[8] website founded in 2007 by conservative commentator and entrepreneur Andrew Breitbart. It also has a daily radio program on the Sirius XM Patriot channel called Breitbart News Daily.

Breitbart is headquartered in Los Angeles, California, with bureaus in Texas, London, and Jerusalem. Co-founder Larry Solov is the owner and CEO. Stephen Bannon serves as the publication's executive chairman. Joel Pollak, is the senior editor-at-large and Alexander Marlow is managing-editor.
