Do you think Breitbart-esque propoganda will fly with the general public? Or the regular media?

I feel like Breitbart is aimed at a very specific fringe audience, and that the approach they use hasn't really been exposed to the kind of scrutiny that a presidential campaign will attract.

Have most people even heard of Breitbart? I'm certain nobody in my family has ever read it or even heard of it.

I suspect regular people will be turned off by the "Breitbart" style.
