Mediaite: Could Andrew Breitbart Become the Right’s Arianna Huffington?
by Publius
From Mediaite.com:
Andrew Breitbart’s new political blog, Big Government, launched with a splash today, thanks to an investigative piece on ACORN. Could Breitbart, who worked as a researcher for Arianna Huffington back in the day, be following in her footsteps as an opinion blog rainmaker with a powerful one-stop shop?
Big Government got off to a big start today. Its main story was an undercover video taken by filmmaker James O’Keefe of what purported to be an ACORN worker advising a fake ‘pimp’ and his ‘prostitute’ how to avoid taxes and prosecution. ACORN, for its part, has condemned the video as “gotcha journalism” and demanded to see the full tape for proof that it wasn’t misleadingly edited. As of 1:50 pm, there have been 3 posts about ACORN, one introductory post, and one post about health care — a little slow, but the ACORN bit is probably enough to give the site a good first day.
And boy, does Breitbart know how to promote: he went on Fox News this morning to discuss his “exclusive” (and happened to mention his website a decent handful of times during the interview), and he got his video placed as the top story on Foxnews.com, ahead of arguably bigger stories like Joe Wilson’s outburst during Obama’s healthcare speech last night.

I really like Big Hollywood, and this site is looking just as great…
You people really know how to start off with a bang.
"he got his video placed as the top story on Foxnews.com, ahead of arguably bigger stories like Joe Wilson’s outburst during Obama’s healthcare speech last night."
Really? A congressman yelling "you lie" to someone who is demonstrably a liar is a bigger story than a government sponsored entity helping who they thought was a pimp and a prostitute to set up a brothel and import child sex slaves?
Pardon my incredulity at the stupidity of that line of reasoning.
if they mean *we're corrupt to our core* as "gotcha journalism" then they are correct. gotcha.
Anyone can be caught by "gotcha journalism" if they are that dumb and desperate to break the law.
Huffington is a hateful hag…I hope Andrew doesn't become like her.
Big Hollywood added to Favorites list. Looking forward to many mre visits here
**CORRECTIO** BIGGOVERNMENT. Regret bad thoughts of Hollywood.
Breitbart has more brains in his hangnail then the entirety of that communist hack huffington ! I think we have found our new "era" and it starts with Andrew Breitbart !
"Mediaite: Could Andrew Breitbart Become the Right’s Arianna Huffington?"
Answer: Can Andrew develop an annoying foreign accent?
I find myself suddenly wondering when Obama's IRS will, just by random coincidence, decide that Andrew B needs to be audited..?
There is a FINE new gaggle of libtard trolls on this site since last nights launching I see. *Drooling*
It's become a VERY target rich environment, and easy pickens’, (since they are all just so plain stooopid.)
Thank you Andrew for creating a place to hone my wordsmith skills, and keep my libtard troll hunting expertise sharp.
Not Over.

I think this site will become bigger and more influential than Huffpo. Bravo, Andrew!
At least they did not compare you to Katie Couric, Andrew.
Outstanding work, Andrew and Co.
Keep it up. You can smell the fear from the blog trolls.
WAY TO GO, ANDY! (THIS WORK IS MUCH MORE IMPORTANT THAN THAT HOLLYWOOD NEWS STUFF!) GOOD LUCK AND KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!
AND P.S.
Hope your Censored Word List here is shorter than on breitbart.tv ! LOL.
Way to go.
Congrats. Front page news. If there was any journalistic integrity within the lame stream media, that is.
Thank you Andrew! Added this to my faves. How can this be compared to huffpo, This seems to be factual. Not solely penned in opinion. Keep it coming Patriots!
Arianna who?
Wow! What a first day! Congratulations, and thanks for the good work!
Very cool Andrew, a great start.
Given that you are the one that gave Arianna her chance, it's not surprising that you could be as influential as she is. She owes you everything!
And we owe you for repairing that mistake by making this site!
Congrats to Andrew and the whole Big Government Team for a blockbuster website launch.
Well Done Everyone ! Keep up the pressure on all those criminals… wherever and whoever the hell they are.

Keep up the fight, Andrew! We need to put on (and keep up) the full-court press.
Between Breitbart.com; Breitbarttv.com; Big Hollywood; now BigGovernment, and the other "Bigs" planned, Arianna will be begging Andrew for a Xanax to sleep at night.
Let's see…
Breitbart is smart, funny, insightful, and has seen Greg Gutfeld in a shorty robe.
Huffington is vapid, opportunistic, shallow, and has also seen Greg Gutfeld in a shorty robe (in GG's defense, it was at the HP offices).
Having said all this, the only comparison I can make is that AB and AH are excellent and accurate representatives of their respective ideological teams. Go get 'em AB!
Great job on everything Breitbart! Add to that the video of ACORN breaking into foreclosed houses and acting like they deserve those houses which they don’t own, didn’t pay for, nor earned.
Add a hypocrisy page. Add another page about all the failed left-wing policies which are all the so-called solutions that make things worse than the original problems, like forcing banks to provide loans for losers who don’t choose to work hard and save to earn a home which is how they brought down are economy. Add all the corruption and dirt that they don’t talk about on the biased media. There is so much…
What are chances of shutting down ACORN? Isn't Obama giving pardons to them as fast as they are charged? Oh, yeah, maybe clearing out the White House and Congress is the place to start!
"Could Breitbart Become The Right's Huffngton?"
He's way prettier, and I like his 'accent' so much better.
Andrew, you da man!
Kick a$$, buddy!

Competition for the drive-by Obamedia..Breitbart, Big Hollywood and Big Government…I love it!
I dont know, did his ex wife turn gay like Arriana Huffintons husband did??
Cant believe that Huffintons husband became the republican nominee against Diane Fienstien and basically handed her the seat back in 1994 to take over Pete Wilsons seat. What a sham that Huffinton was.
Andrew Breitbart will soon be the spearchucker targeting the minds of leftist fascists. His quiver is full and I wish him safety and good aim at this leftist Congress and the goon squad we call the Obama administration. Keep it up, Sir ! !
[...] amazing stuff. Comments (0) Trackbacks (0) Leave a comment [...]
Be careful and don't let your head explode over the crass disingenuous stupidity of media…
After all, they "fired", (to show up somewhere else in the arms of the octopus umbrella named "ACORN") the "alleged" workers over this "gotcha journalism".
I hope not. Didn't she take money to engage in a pretend marriage to a homosexul so he could run for the senate in Calif as a happily married man? Wasn't he a republican? She supported him for office?
I think Andrew has a lot more integrity than that.
And they make it just SO easy…as they spin up to 100,000 RPM in their haste to defend the indefensible. You just have to drop in a pebble, and they self-destruct spectacularly!
Trying to defend interstate transport of minor female illegal immigrants for the purpose of sexual slavery is proving extremely tough to bounce back from by libtards…you don't even need to mention the prostitution, tax fraud and tax evasion, money laundering…
It is my feverent wish that Arianna becomes little more than a moonbat two minute hate chant site, with all the charm and sweetness of "Stormfront".
And "Biggovernment" the place to fact-check all MSM stories for accuracy…
Are we on our way there, or what?
Dont be Huffington, I cant stand that $#@&%!
Comparing Andrew to Huffington is an insult to Andrew. He's not an attention whore that switches sides every time he sees the political winds changing.
Andrew Breitbart is so much more than Arianna ever would or could be. Arianna seeks to distort or hide the truth, andrew seeks to put it to the light of day. BIG DIFFERENCE!
Andrew is as good if not better than HuffPO and it comes without the botox.
As an ardent liberal socialist, I'd say Breitbart already is the right's Huffington. This is not something to be proud of.
I'll bet those 2 aren't the only 2 individuals who are corrupt at ACORN…they need to disban that group and keep our tax dollars from paying for them. I'm tired of paying for low-life trash people!
Rush mentioned this site and Andrew Breitbart just awhile ago on his program. For Andrew to be recognized by the Maha Rushie is a great honor, in my opinion.
I want to say that Andrew is the internet's Rush Limbaugh. Arianna who?
Well, only in the sense that any Congresscritter actually "speaking truth to power" is a man-bites-dog story.
Andrew – find a way for us to fund a Grant for James and Hannah.
keep em’ coming ANDREW!!!! help us wake up america before its too late!
IS ACORN A BLK THING ?
Nice job Mr. Breitbart. The site looks fantastic.
There goes another hour of my day!!
That you A.B.! Many B.H. will be splitting time with you…between B.G. and B.H.
I still love Big H. and look forward to being here too.
That you A.B.! Many B.H. veterns will be splitting time with you…between B.G. and B.H.

Nah – it's a red thang.
Andrew as the next Ariania?! Please! Give me a break!! Don't insult the man. How about Andrew as the next Ronald Reagan.
Andy Breitbart totally ROCKS! He left Arianna in the dust a long time ago. Love your new site, Andy! Keep up the good investigative work. You and Glenn Beck are my hero's!
" The only thing necessary for evil to triumph, is for good men to do nothing". ~Edmund Burke~ 1729-1797
It is now time for all good men (and women) to stand up and be counted. Andrew Brietbart just stood up, those two yound Americans Hannah and James just stood up, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann just stood up, Congressman Joe Wilson just stood up and it now time for the rest of US to stand and take our country back from these pirates who have hijacked it. Joe Wilson shouting "YOU LIE" was the first clear truth heard in a generation…
