Nobody reads this Breitbart blog. Only after Fox News reported it as news did it become noticed. The real issue here is that people believed what was reported on Fox. It should be well known that those guys don't check facts and are not considered a reputable news source, very similar to the Colbert Report.
Not so. It is a very well-read blog by millions.
This entire "scandal" is and has always been about playing ?gotcha journalism? with a significant voice of conservatism. The liberals are unable to win with their record. Their views, opinions and ideas are failed, so they hark back to Alinsky 101. Demonize, characterize and isolate your opponent.
"Breitbart is clear about his desire to turn the tables on liberal media and activist groups. That's why he went after ACORN, and why it makes sense that he'd set his sights higher than an obscure bureaucrat.
Breitbart aimed to play the race card right back in the face of the racist NAACP. While the media was busy getting its knickers in a twist about out-of-context quotes, Breitbart had managed to make fools of both the NAACP and the Obama administration.
Or maybe it's just a coincidence that the Rasmussen Presidential Approval Index dipped to -20 over the weekend.
You can't hurt Andrew Breitbart by playing the "out-of-context" card, the one that leads into a demand to have the conservative racist fired. In the kind of ball that Breitbart plays, there is no appealing to the friendly umpire or the CEO who fears a call from the White House.
Breitbart is BigGovernment.com. He is BigJournalism.com, and BigHollywood.com, and BigPeace.com. He's not shilling for some Mr. Big, some right-wing George Soros."
