Yes, the rumors are true. After decades of cowering in the deep-blue (as in Blue State) shadows, Hollywood conservatives are beginning to openly express their political beliefs despite the price theyve paidboth socially and professionallyfor doing so in the past. Some are calling this newfound courage the Breitbart Effect, named for the affable New Media titan who exposed the amoral Superfund toxic waste site of Tinsel Town by subjecting it to the standards of traditional, conservative (read: normal) American values.
Through his pioneering work on news aggregation Web sites such as the Drudge Report and the Huffington Post, Breitbart led the charge away from the take-it-or-leave-it company store of monolithic network news and toward the consumer-driven free market of the New Media. How important was it to break up this monopoly? Before there was a New Media, Dan Rathers CBS Evening News exposé about George W. Bushs National Guard service (complete with forged documents) would have gone unchallengedand Dan Rather would still have a career. Because of New Media and outlets such as Drudge, Rathers inept hoax was discoveredand shared with the worldwithin a matter of hours.

Funny part...
He is the son-in-law of Orsen Bean...
Big Media also doesn’t like people leaving the plantation and listening to bands from other countries, other genres, and other labels or eras either. Just as ASCAP wouldn’t publish rock & roll, rhythm & blues, or country & western songs (BMI would), so explains their outrage at downloading and online music discussions.
Big Media - We Decide, You Submit.
Did he contribute to Orsen Bean’s change of politics?
Everyone should spend at least some part of the day at Big Hollywood.com!
Weren’t two FReepers responsible for exposing that forgery right here on FreeRepublic?
now if I could just stop double posting here...sorry
That’s okay. I get get excited too.
From the article...”In a flash of insight, Breitbart realized that the media were the Democratic Party, that the NAACP was the Democratic Party, that NOW was the Democratic Party...”
We, repubs/conservatives, have failed to grasp this insight. We still refer to them as “mainstream media” and such. They ARE the Democrats. The heads of the Democratic Party are not Howard or Nancy and Harry, they are Gibson, and Sawyers, and Williams, and Couric. The agenda of the Democratic Party is devised and disseminated by the heads of their news division before their congressional members can act. We do ourselves a disservice by gracing them with names other than Democrats at ABC or Democrats at CBS. IMHO
Wow. Beautiful photos! Thank you.
Yes, I think so.
Precisely! There's no liberal slant to the news. It's the liberal news delivered by liberal democrats.
The full story, including proper credit to FR, can be found here.
Yep. Imho, astute observation. They’re crafting the “message” for public consumption.
You’re welcome. Thank you.
Interesting article, but the author needs to learn what “A-list” means. Angie Harmon, much as we might like her political opinions, isn’t nearly on it.
