There are several sources for this (google it and see), so it is not about the source or the press or the media, it is about what Bannon himself said:
quote:
Steve Bannon Will Lead Trump’s White House
I’m a Leninist, Steve Bannon told a writer for The Daily Beast, in late 2013. Lenin wanted to destroy the state, and that’s my goal, too. I want to bring everything crashing down, and destroy all of today’s establishment.*
At the time, Bannon was the executive chairman of Breitbart News, the far-right news site. When he became the C.E.O. of Donald Trump’s campaign, in August, he told the writer that he had no recollection of the conversation. On Sunday, Trump, in his first personnel decisions as President-elect, named Bannon as his chief strategist and senior counselor and Reince Priebus, the Republican National Committee Chairman, his chief of staff.
The press release from the Trump transition staff said that Bannon and Priebus would be equal partners. This is a signal to Washington that Bannon will be the most powerful person in Trump’s White House.
He has since walked back from the quote, but actions speak when words don't.
So Bannon is now in a position to control information getting to Trump (except what he watches on TV) and he controls the writing of the executive orders (the words used are not typical Trump short words and mashed grammar) that he then feeds to Trump to sign.
Republican have railed for years about socialist\communist\fascist democrats, and here we have the first self admitted Leninist.

Rewrite to make statement more accurate

His personal history rewrite came later, when he claimed he could not remember the prior remark.
