“More and more Americans consider journalism just another front in the bloodsport of partisan politics, where the ends justify damn near any means. Increasingly no one cares about (or recognizes) the difference between marshalling facts to make your argument and just completely making shit up.”

Breitbart is just like all the rest of the right wing. Just name them. No matter what they say or do, no matter how heinous, no matter who they destroy, nothing happens. Limbaugh, O’Reilly, Hannity, Coulter, Carlson, Beck, Palin, Bachmann, Boehner, Gingrich, Santorum, Hatch, Perry, Delay, etc, etc, ad nauseum. Who have I left out? There is no limit to the crazy shit they say, people still take them seriously.
It’s like that joke that circulated during the Bush years; “Junior” could beat a sweet little old lady to death with a bag full of cute puppies on the White House lawn while Cheney shotgunned and set on fire a blind, one-legged homeless Vietnam Vet IN FRONT OF REPORTERS and carried on with their photo-op and no one would bat an eye.
It’s as if the devil watches over them. Compared to the dirty tricks we see today, Nixon was an amateur.
