How to scrape news from Breitbart using ScrapeStorm

Breitbart is an American news website founded in 2007. It is known for its conservative and right-wing viewpoints, offering a wide range of news reports and commentaries covering politics, society, economy, culture, and more. The website was created by Andrew Breitbart with the aim of providing a news platform that reflects conservative values. Its reporting style tends to be subjective and controversial, often sparking heated discussions and debates on political topics. However, it has also been a source of controversy, as some people believe its reporting lacks objectivity and authority. Nevertheless, for some readers who hold conservative positions, Breitbart is a popular news source that provides them with alternative viewpoints and voices compared to mainstream media.
