I wanted to wait until the details were worked out before I said anything here, but I am now a contributor to Andrew Breitbart’s Big Journalism, which launched in January 2010 as a response to the way the mainstream media handles conservative figures and right-of-center viewpoints.

Of Big Journalism, Breitbart says:

“Our goal at Big Journalism is to hold the mainstream media’s feet to the fire. There are a lot of stories that they simply don’t cover, either because it doesn’t fit their world view, or because they’re literally innocent of any knowledge that the story even exists, or because they are a dying organization, short-staffed, and thus can’t cover stuff like they did before.”

Big Journalism’s Editor in Chief is the very talented Dana Loesch, who’s quite the conservative activist in the St. Louis area.

For those not familiar with Big Journalism, it’s one of four of Breitbart’s “Big” sites: Big Hollywood, Big Government, Big Journalism, and Big Peace.

I’ve written news and commentary for over nine years now, and I’m honored to join the growing family of “Big” contributors to help expose liberal media bias.

I am humbled and honored to be able to contribute to Big Journalism.

If you have a tip or suggestion, please don’t hesitate to leave a comment here or drop me an email.

Oh man, this is a doozy. Apparently, the College Democrats released a video, in which a number of young people explain why they consider themselves Democrats. Their shallow answers caused Glenn Beck to criticize the video, and the College Democrats took it down.

Luckily for you and me, Andrew Breitbart snagged the video before the College Dems could erase it from the history of the Interwebs.

For your viewing pleasure:

Well, the video’s been pulled down there. So, here it is… for now.

I am a Democrat… “because I believe hope is the stuff of dreams…” “…because of the Patriot Act…” “…because my grandfather was the first person in his family to graduate from high school…” “…because anyone can make it in America…” You get the idea. Tons of nebulous reasons why anyone might support either party.

Breitbart’s caption reads:

College Democrats of America may have unwittingly created a video that actually makes the best case for NOT being a Democrat. Watch these deep-thinking college students explain the important and well-reasoned positions that draw them to the Democratic Party.

I agree.

UPDATE: The RightScoop managed to obtain Glenn Beck’s audio. It’s hilarious.

The New York Times has a write-up about Andrew Breitbart:

Andrew Breitbart wasn’t supposed to be sitting here in a television studio makeup chair. But when he heard that Anthony Weiner was about to announce his resignation, he dropped everything.

Mr. Breitbart, the conservative author and blogger who first published Mr. Weiner’s suggestive self-portraits, had ditched his book-signing in central Illinois and hopped on a flight earlier than planned to the Twin Cities, where he was booked as a marquee attraction at RightOnline, a conservative bloggers conference.

“To put myself in Decatur, Ill., without a satellite connection would have put me in a bad situation,” he explained as a woman applied a layer of foundation to his jowly face in preparation for his appearance on CNN. (He had just finished a phone interview with Fox News; Sean Hannity’s radio show would follow; then a quick break before sitting down with a documentary film crew.)

Part performance artist, part polemicist, Mr. Breitbart, 42, has used his network of Web sites and their legions of followers to bring conservative media red meat. Some of his reader-generated scoops have reverberated all the way to the halls of the United States Capitol, like the Weiner photos and undercover video he released of Acorn workers offering advice on how to evade taxes and conceal child prostitution. After the videos went viral Congress ended grants to Acorn, and federal agencies severed ties with the group.

The stories and videos Mr. Breitbart plays up on his Web sites — which include Big Government, Big Journalism and Big Hollywood— tend to act as political Rorschach tests. If you agree with him, you think what he does is citizen journalism. If you don’t, his work is little more than crowd-sourced political sabotage that freely distorts the facts.

“On the right, he is seen as an investigative journalist along the lines of Woodward and Bernstein,” said James B. McPherson, author of “The Conservative Resurgence and the Press.”

It’s actually quite a lengthy piece on the conservative media icon, who has made a name for himself by targeting elements of the left and exposing their underhandedness.

Give it a once over.
