The San Francisco Chronicle has blamed Breitbart News for drawing the national media's attention to the crisis of unaccompanied minors from Central America crossing the southern border by the tens of thousands.
In an op-ed published by the Chronicle Wednesday calling for "a more humane immigration policy," David Bacon blamed Breitbart's exposé for creating the impression that children were being sent to the U.S. in anticipation of being allowed to stay.
Bacon correctly noted that Breitbart News broke the story of the conditions in which the children were being held by U.S. Border Patrol, and singled out Brandon Darby of Breitbart Texas for credit--and calumny:
This coverage began when a website, breitbart.com, published photographs leaked from the Border Patrol and guards in detention centers, showing immigrant children packed together like animals....
The original breitbart.com story was written by Brandon Darby, a former FBI informant turned blogger.
Bacon went on to describe how Darby's scoop was picked up by "anti-immigrant" bloggers, then worked its way up the political chain to Republican governors and members of Congress.
The op-ed failed, however, to note that the Breitbart story was also picked up by the left-wing Huffington Post, which led with Darby's images on June 6. Other mainstream media outlets, both print and electronic, also followed up Breitbart's story.

DO they award Pultizer for gay coverage?
The Carbuncnkle is there, top of the list.
I “blame” them, too and thank them.
I think Breitbart SHOULD get some credit for exposing the border situation!
How dare Breitbart report the news on something that’s actually important.
That’s too much. Brietbart should blame them for not reporting it.
No, Breitbart brought attention to the fact that the Kenyan, Miss Piggy Pelosi and Hopalong Harry Reid are ORCHESTRATING this so called “crisis”. Send the freeloading border jumpers home and the “crisis” is over. It’s the “humanitarian” thing to do! Send their asses home!
Send all the disease ridden illegals to S.F. It’s already a pitri dish there anyway.

Cancel the subscruption to the SF Chronicle.
David is a disgrace to the name bacon. He should change his name.
Thank you Algore for that world wide web thingy.
“David Bacon blamed Breitbart’s exposé for creating the impression that children were being sent to the U.S. in anticipation of being allowed to stay. “
So they are “blaming” Breitbart for telling the truth and exposing the natural (and intended) result of obama’s policies which, I guess, the SF Chronicle dind’t want to leak out?
.To paraphrase a (in)famous recent line,
"...if they were doing THEIR job..."
It is just sad that the media has to actually do their job sometimes.
Dump them on David Bacon’s lawn.
Yep, the folks on the border never would have figured it out without Breitbart. We’re all idiots out here in flyover...
Are they the anti-Fannie Doolie?
Shame they show their true colors just before the 4th of July.
What have they got against white and blue?
