Andrew Breitbart Distilled

David Dufour — Sat, 03 Mar 2012 02:05:23 +0000

This review of some of his comments from Fox News encapsulates what Andrew Breitbart was all about. He was ruthless and fearless, but he wasn’t a liar. He was direct and didn’t back down, but he wasn’t a bully (although I think sometimes Hannity is). Breitbart saw with great clarity what the radical left [...]

Struggling media will need government help: US congressman.

It’s a sure bet Waxman’s goals are not honorable, in our opinion, but setting that aside for a moment, if newspapers are to fade away because of the market forces affecting them, there is no percentage in keeping them alive at taxpayer expense. If they’re [...]
