Rumors are swirling that the Mercer family which owns Breitbart is about to get rid of Steve Bannon and is already distancing themselves from him. If this is the case, it would rock the media world. The media has suddenly fallen in love with Bannon. After calling him every name in the book from Nazi to white supremacist, they suddenly love him for his claims made about Trump in an upcoming book by a known fraudster. The only thing this media drama that’s playing out now will result in more book sales by the fraudster author. Bannon didn’t write this book as some in the media are trying to claim. Bannon’s reputation has already gone way down after the whole Alabama fiasco. If he gets canned at Breitbart, then only liberal networks will be interested in hiring him to bash Trump.

Mr. Bannon’s longtime benefactors, billionaires Robert Mercer and his daughter Rebekah Mercer, are actively distancing from him even before the expected release of Michael Wolff’s book “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House,” according to two people close to the Mercers.
They and other Breitbart News Network LLC board members on Thursday were debating whether to oust Mr. Bannon as chairman, with many supportive of the move, according to a person familiar with the exchanges. Among the considerations are Breitbart’s contractual relationships with other entities, including Sirius XM radio, that involve Mr. Bannon.
Staffers at Breitbart, which Mr. Bannon has called his “killing machine,” described a “chaotic” day at the company, with writers—many personally recruited by Mr. Bannon—wondering whether he would last the day.
