I kind of agree, not quite so sure the family having such influence would sit that comfortably with me most of the time and if Hilary was in the WH and her daughter was thought to be advising her then I know some people on ATS would have a lot to say about that! But I suppose these aren't normal times so who knows, maybe this will turn out to be a positive step.

I do not recall.
One wonders if it wasn't reported by the media ... seems most likely.
Thanks, LM.
It was a statement from Bannon that was reported by the media, yes. It was first-hand account from a party involved. Thanks, Gryphon.

Oh you're welcome LM.
Just goes to show that some folks trust some media some of the time, no?

If by some folks you mean me, then no, I distrust the media all of the time. But as you perhaps don't know, we cannot say something is true or false because of where it comes from.
Do you give the benefit of the doubt to the media or the first-hand account?

I was speaking of those addicted to the media narrative, actually. That's what I wrote. If you cannot get a simple comment right, I wonder how you are able to deal with the media?

This is why I listen to NPR for serious investigative journalism. They are funded 95% by private donations from listeners, and from some vetted foundations and institutions. They don't even talk about Fox News or Infowars or Breitbart except to mention how disparate those programs are from actual reality and intelligent adulting.
Fox and Breitbart and Infowars are purely COMMERCIAL endeavors. And therefore MUST be seen as such. Now that the machinations of that ilk have allowed Congress to try to defund NPR, all humanities and arts support, etc - those left standing are the ones that by popular demand and support will never, ever go away.
Fox News, Breitbart, and Infowars (along with other sleazy disinfo tabloid rags like the National Enquirer) will fade into the oblivion of "pop culture toxins" one day. Sooner, rather than later, I'd say.

Don't get too happy people, it seems he wasn't supposed to be there long anyway. From the OP's source.
A White House official said that Bannon was placed on the committee in part to monitor Trump’s first national security adviser, Michael Flynn, and never attended a meeting. He’s no longer needed with McMaster in charge of the council, the official said.
Wasn't supposed to be there long anyway? Well now, that's news that shockingly just came out today.
More like an excuse for his firing. I'm sure he's probably under investigation and just like all the other Trump staffers associated with Russia, they've been axed to protect Trump.
Good luck to them!

And I am not surprised by that.
NPR admits liberal bias.
Getting news from just one source is the worst thing you can do anymore!
Even if it is the largely liberal narrative filling NPR...

Politico is reporting that Rebekah Mercer asked Bannon not to resign.
How is that swamp-draining thingy going?
