ABC drops Breitbart from election night coverage!

[Clio the Leo]

And this, my friends, is our FIRST victory of the night!!!

The following letter was sent from ABC and received by Mr. Breitbart:

Dear Mr. Breitbart,

We have spent the past several days trying to make clear to you your limited role as a participant in our digital town hall to be streamed on ABCNews.com and Facebook. The post on your blog last Friday created a widespread impression that you would be analyzing the election on ABC News. We made it as clear as possible as quickly as possible that you had been invited along with numerous others to participate in our digital town hall. Instead of clarifying your role, you posted a blog on Sunday evening in which you continued to claim a bigger role in our coverage. As we are still unable to agree on your role, we feel it best for you not to participate.

1. Great! Sad that it was about PR and not journalistic integrity, but still a start. nt

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

2. .

:spray: :rofl: Which begs the question. Why invite this douche in the 1st place?

[ProSense]

3. No wonder he's

pissed


:rofl:

[wryter2000]

10. Better call the Wahmbulance now

The whole lot of them will retire to the fainting couch over this.

[Roland99]

12. Here it comes now!!!!

[BootinUp]

4. HAHHAHAHAHA

WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

[Ken Burch]

5. Wouldn't it be great if Bill-O and Beck got confused

and called for cutting off federal funding for ABC?

[formercia]

6. see below...

:rofl:

[Jennicut]

7. Well, we all could see how this would turn out for ABC. If only

they had figured it out for themselves.

[wryter2000]

8. Gee

They discovered he was dishonest. But hey, they are news guys. They'll get to the truth, no matter what.

:sarcasm: <--as if anyone missed it. :)

[Jello Biafra]

9. Hey Andrew...

What part of NO don't you understand?

[Roland99]

11. Not for the right reasons but I'll take it

[Kind of Blue]

13. He's always welcomed at Fox for his ace reporting.

KnR

[BootinUp]

15. and his video editing SKILZZZ!!!111

[ladywnch]

14. I'm a little slow on the uptake here but it finally dawned on me

what Briebart's game is..........he is vying to be the next Glenn Beck and he is using all these stunts to get face and name recognition. Faux should be picking him up soon

[FirstTimeVoterAt37]

16. You're probably right

I wouldn't be shocked at all to find out he's a special guest of Fox tonight.

[BootinUp]

17. I don't know how it makes either of them

look good, amplifying this story anymore. More like he should drop it and hope it disappears down the memory hole.

[FirstTimeVoterAt37]

18. They love being "wronged" too much

They're the ultimate victims - hell it's what most of them are campaigning on.

[BootinUp]

19. Its a good point, but

what if he wasn't wronged? I mean it doesn't even make any sense. No answer required, I am just sayin'.

[FirstTimeVoterAt37]

20. Well, yeah, it doesn't make sense

They don't have to actually be wronged. They could just be fired for shrieking the N-word eleven times on national radio, y'know? No matter, poor little repubs are always the victims.

[ladywnch]

24. ah, you presume that the American people actually remember

what he said or did......they've long forgotten about it already and now he can claim the 'facts' anyway he wants and the public (read 28%) will believe his account of it all and how he really was wronged.

As long as ignorance is so highly prized in this country these kinds of clowns will continue with this kind of stuff. Anyone with enough gray matter to see it for what it is will be called out as a persecutor of real patriotic Americans.

[ladywnch]

23. there is no such thing as 'bad publicity'.

sarah palin never looks good in any of her antics and yet.............

as long as he can keep his name in the news he becomes 'known quantity'.....much like joe the plumber (and I know...I know) but he just wasn't savy enough to fully cash in on it. This POS IS savy (read devious) enough to cash it in.

[avaistheone1]

21. What a loss

NOT!

[grahamhgreen]

22. One down! nt
