• He has money.
• He has powerful backers and PR people.
• He's white.
So no matter how much hateful evil shit he pumps out, he'll still get interviewed and enabled by our media, because their focus is on profit, not social responsibility.

So no matter how much hateful evil shit he pumps out, he'll still get interviewed and enabled by our media, because their focus is on profit, not social responsibility.
And there's a twisted symbiosis going on where creatures like Bannon feed off the controversy they generate by spewing hateful evil shit, which makes the media even more likely to continue giving him a platform.
We see the name Steve Bannon and forget that it isn't just him. To get someone like this into the New Yorker festival, there's an army of people helping to make it happen, pushing Bannon into the media relentlessly.
And on the media side, there are still a lot of people in decision-making positions who seem to think this international white supremacist movement is a basically harmless game, and they have no responsibility for their part in promoting it.
