Background
Marlow was born January 24, 1986 to Jewish parents. For highschool, he attended Harvard-Westlake School in Los Angeles, the same highschool that fellow Breitbart editor Julia Hahn attended, which led to media attention on the school. Marlow subsequently attended UC Berkeley. While a student at UC Berkeley, he befriended Andrew Breitbart, who hired him as the first ever employee at Breitbart News to do odd jobs and minor copy editing. He says that at the time his job was mostly being a "glorified personal assistant" to Andrew, which subsequently developed into an editorial position as the site took off.
Editor of Breitbart
According to CNN, however, "some former Breitbart employees say they believe Marlow privately harbors misgivings with the site's direction. One former Breitbart reporter suggested that Marlow was the good cop to the bad cop played by Steve Bannon."
Marlow told Bloomberg Business that at Breitbart.com, "Our whole mindset is looking for these rolling narratives." Marlow said key narratives for the website include immigration, ISIS, race riots, traditional values, and Hillary Clinton.
Marlow told The New York Times that "Our goal is not influence; it is reporting and highlighting stories important to grass roots conservatives. Our focus on issues like spending, trade and particularly immigration are a reflection of the fact that there are massive populations of center-right Americans who do not favor the policies most often associated with the Republican Party establishment."
Talking to NBC News, Marlow denied that Breitbart is a "hate-site", stating "that we're consistently called anti-Semitic despite the fact that we are overwhelmingly staffed with Jews and are pro-Israel and pro-Jewish. That is fake news."
In August 2017, Marlow was the victim of an email imposter, who pretended to be Steve Bannon. In replies to the imposter, who Marlow thought was Bannon, Marlow promised that "Reading online about how i’ll be bringing forth my wrath on Ivanka and Jared... I’d be doing this great nation a service if I did.”
