ABC Was Crazy To Want Andrew Breitbart Associated With Their Election Coverage!



Good news! Andrew Breitbart won't be involved in the election coverage that ABC is doing.Why the hell did ABC want Andrew Breitbart to comment on the elections in the first place? Was it for the ratings? He is so not credible that it is not even funny! Aren't they supposed to be a legitimate network that offers up real news?

So, I can't fathom why ABC thought people wanted to hear from this far,far-right propagandist! We live in a world where credibility is no longer a factor. It really is about being controversial these days because controversy sells. ABC ought to be ashamed of itself for wanting to employ a court jester like Andrew Brietbart.

Here's more from The Huffington Post:

"ABC News announced Tuesday that it is dropping controversial blogger Andrew Breitbart from its Election Night coverage.

The network announced late last week that Breitbart, who became notorious for his role in disseminating the out-of-context footage of Shirley Sherrod that resulted in her firing, would be a guest during its coverage of the midterm election results. After howls of protest from outside commentators and reports of dissension from within ABC's own newsroom, the network sought to make it clear that Breitbart would only appear in an online forum and would never be seen on any television broadcast.

In response, Breitbart posted internal emails sent to him by ABC producers on his website. He claimed that the emails showed that he would, in fact, be appearing on the air during the network's Election Night broadcast." (END OF EXCERPT) Read more here.
