Andrew Breitbart: ABC News ‘humiliated me,’ damaged my brand

By Eric W. Dolan
Wednesday, November 3rd, 2010 -- 1:16 pm

The conservative blogger who edited clips of USDA employee Shirley Sherrod says his invitation and subsequent uninvitation from an ABC News' election panel has damaged his brand.

ABC News had invited Andrew Breitbart to be a guest during their Election Day coverage, which the network had planned to broadcast over the Internet.

3. Breitbart damaged his OWN brand by being a liar and a fraud
Edited on Wed Nov-03-10 06:26 PM by rocktivity
but nowhere as much as ABC damaged theirs by even considering hiring him.

7. No, no, you don't understand: His "brand" IS being a liar and a fraud.
ABC "damaged" it by not letting him display it in front of millions of Americans.

informatively,
Bright

5. First., ABC gets what they get because they shouldn't have invited his ass
Second...
the email from ABC clearly said he was going to be part of a town hall. They didn't say it was digital. Breitbart totally thought he had hit the big time and shot off his w@d saying he was doing election night coverage.

When the truth came out...that it was a digital town hall he went nuts as only a lying teabagger can do. And started behaving as if someone owed him something...so he published emails and looked like the asshole he is.

ABC was like WTF...and dumped his ass. You'd think someone @ ABC would have realized he was a lying sack of shit and not booked his ass in the first place. I think anyone involved with that mess will be looking for jobs @ Faux "News" a little later in the month.

11. Unbelievable
His "brand" was damaged? Simply because ABC called him on his bullshit? ABC was VERY accommodating - more than it should have been.

Let this be a warning to all MSM outlets - Breitbart causes trouble. Don't hire him for anything.

13. Misunderstanding at First
I get it if there was a misunderstanding between ABC and Andrew Breitbart at first. But they sent him a clarification email which Breitbart chose to ignore. That's what galls me most about his "intolerant Left" victimhood.

Oh well, his Tea Bagger fanboys are eating it up with a spoon.

17. No, Andy, You're "Damaging Your Own Brand" ...
... ABC just had a moment of clarity in which they got tired of being endlessly hit by the backwash of your self-aggrandizement.

Don't worry ... they'll be back for people like you soon enough.

22. If someone on our side were as criminal as he is, that person
would be in prison or dead by now. So he should shut up and be thankful that we're basically cowards.
