ANDREW BREITBART BUSTS ABC NEWS FOR LYING. And publishes the email.

Plus, from the comments: “Brahahahha who even watches ABC for news? I mean they have that hack George Stephanopoulos as an ‘unbiased’ news person. My God he was part of that whole Carville Begalla war room of people that just destroyed anyone that even farted in the general direction of Clinton.”

When I heard that ABC was having Andrew on as a commentator, I thought it demonstrated a surprising degree of open-mindedness and courage. Apparently I was wrong, especially about the courage. They’d rather be apparatchiks, practicising “journolistism” instead of journalism, I guess — but what will they do when the apparat isn’t there for them any more?

UPDATE: ABC Owes Viewers Explanation. It’s more of the behavior that has earned them the name of “the insanestream media.”

ANOTHER UPDATE: Why what ABC News thinks about Breitbart doesn’t matter that much: Political Blogs Rise As Trusted Sources, Media Watchdogs.
