ABC News now getting the Breitbart freak-out treatment

November 02, 2010 10:56 am ET by Eric Boehlert

Yesterday we noted how ABC News found itself in the bizarre, albeit foreseeable, position of being in open war with a guest it had (foolishly) booked for Election Night coverage; Andrew Breitbart.

After the network moved to distance itself from the well-known propagandist who has trouble telling the truth, Breitbart lashed back claiming he was invited by ABC to be on TV, not just to participate in an online forum. ABC countered by claiming Breitbart doesn’t know how to read, and misconstrued the invitation via emails he received from the network.

So yeah, the network’s at war with one of its would-be guests. (Normal, right?)

Well, now team Breitbart is in complete meltdown mode and his sites are posting a series of increasingly incoherent rants against ABC News. You really ought to read them though, as they perfectly distill the paranoid mind of today’s right-wing movement and its almost complete addiction to victimization. (Breitbart’s been blacklisted! Or something….)

Plus, you’ll learn all sorts of interesting facts, like how it’s Media Matters’ fault that ABC seemed to walk back its TV invite to Breitbart. And George Soros’ fault, and the fault of Obama, Center for American Progress, the FCC, Keith Olbermann, Charles Schumer, Talking Points Memo, Daily Kos, Huffington Post, NPR, and George Stephanopoulos,

Suffice to say it’s been a team effort. Or so say the paranoids from Breitbart World.

1. I think they should ask Jon Stewart to mediate. n/t

2. Only if they're going through the Holland Tunnel

[Ozymanithrax]

6. So even Jon isn't good enough to return sanity to Breitbart?

3. Time to send in James O'Keefe for an ABC News "sting operation"

:rofl:

[Dappleganger]

4. So he's becoming the asshat everybody said he is...

even if one didn't believe it before, he's giving a live demonstration today with free samples!

[gratuitous]

5. Poor Andew; nobody likes him

And he doesn't smell too good, so even when his mom ties pork chops around his neck, the neighborhood dogs just steal them and run away.

7. My letter said:

"If you insist on showing such blatant disrespect to your viewers, I'm sorry to say that ABC will be permanently blocked in this household."

9. Couldn't happen to a better Network

unless it was Faux.That isn't going to happen with Faux subsidizing him.

11. ABC deserves what they get go on rant Bretbaby.

12. hey Andrew...I hope my email sent to ABC helped get rid

of you..good riddance!

13. Good for Breitbart.

ABC was stupid enough to hire this biased partisan hack so ABC is getting exactly what it deserves. Can't wait to see the highly edited video "proof" that ABC is really just a front for Marxist terrorists.

14. I think there's a bigger story here

If people ain't fooled into buyin' whatever made-up bullshit Brightfart is peddling, then the M$M-created teabag regime hasn't created the Republican tidal wave they claim exists.

15. Psst, Breitbart. It's a conspiracy of The Rent Is Too Damn High Party

They're out to get you, man! I'm SERIES!1!!

:rofl:
