ABC News: Breitbart is Confused
Andrew Breitbart now accusing ABC News of lying
In a statement sent my way, ABC spokesman Jeffrey Schneider hit back. “Any confusion about Breitbart’s role is of his own making,” he said. “A simple reading of the email he posted makes it quite clear that he had only ever been invited to be a guest on our online town hall.” That seems right, though the “on air” statement seems questionable.
Either way, what’s remarkable is that the Shirley Sherrod affair wasn’t enough to persuade media people that Breitbart is nothing but bad news, and that if you get anywhere near the guy, you’re going to get badly burned.
