ABC News Hires Andres Breitbart to do some political commentary for their election night coverage.
*blank stare*
Can we know just accept that most - if not all - of the mainstream media is blatantly racist?
From the Daily Kos:
"Media Matters confirms that ABC News has recruited Andrew Breitbart, the conservative blogger whose out-of-context video footage of Shirley Sherrod got the Agriculture Department official fired, to provide commentary for the ...network’s election-night newscast.
ABC News told Media Matters — which, in the wake of Sherrod’s firing, unveiled a video entitled "The End of Andrew Breitbart’s Credibility", and which maintains detailed files on him — that Breitbart will not have license to lie during the broadcast. "... one of many voices on our air, including Bill Adair of Politifact ... If Andrew Breitbart says something that is incorrect, we have other voices to call him on it."
Of course there has been plenty of outrage and ABC News has responded and clarified that:
"Mr. Breitbart is not an ABC News analyst.
He is not an ABC News consultant.
He is not, in any way, affiliated with ABC News.
He is not being paid by ABC News"
Furthermore:
"He has been invited as one of several guests, from a variety of different political persuasions, to engage with a live, studio audience that will be closely following the election results and participating in an online-only discussion and debate to be moderated by David Muir and Facebook’s Randi Zuckerberg on ABCNews.com and Facebook.
Honestly, I could care less if he was invited to just hold the microphone during the question and answered period of this so-called townhall meeting. This vile racist has no business in the same room with a so-called legitimate news organization.
Having Breitbart serve on any panel for a network news station is the equivalent of making a pyromaniac the captain at a firehouse - somebody is bound to get burnt.
