<p>In the piece you link to and affirm in the Daily Beast, &#8220;The Right&#8217;s Lesser Press,&#8221; Conor Friedersdorf refuses to interview me as he continues to be my unofficial biographer. (I&#8217;m VERY reachable, Conor.) He writes opinion pieces on me purporting to be journalism. He doesn&#8217;t quote or cite me, he simply assumes and pushes the point of view he thinks I have and makes an argument based on these alleged positions. It&#8217;s sloppy and you, of all people, should know better.</p>
<p>Breitbart.com is MOSTLY a news aggregator. It carries the Associated Press, Reuters, even, Agence France Presse, from those dreaded croissant eaters!!!</p>
<p>It even carries the New York Times on its front page &#8212; a benefit that even Big Government and Big Hollywood don&#8217;t receive.</p>
<p>Big Hollywood is what it is: a counter-voice to the virtually monolithic Hollywood left. How dare I grant a platform, and a means for the defense of those in Hollywood who would dare go against the strident and intolerant Hollywood left.</p>
<p>Big Government, too, is providing an outlet for voices and ideas that are not proportionally represented in the traditional and mostly biased mainstream media.</p>

<p>When lefties have asked to challenge something written at either site I have granted them the ability to do so.</p>
