The title should be "This is exactly the conjecture that Konrad Yakabuski wanted to write".
Did he interview Steve Bannon? - no
Does he quote from Bannon's writings? - no
Does he consider the possibility that the Charlottesville incident was a manufactured conflict by the Democrats (including the city mayor, state governor and a newly minted White Supremacist "leader", Jason Kessler)? - no

When you analyze cause and effect from the point of view of who benefits, a very different picture emerges from the one that the media wants you to believe. Neither Bannon nor Trump benefited from recent events, but those bent on cleaning out the remnants of Confederate history did.
