Andrew Breitbart-- Major Right wing Echo Chamber Architect and Voice
For OpEdNews: Rob Kall - Writer

In a recent special comment, Keith Olbermann called Andrew Breitbart "scum" three times.


You might think that Andrew Breitbart, involved in fraudulent, unethical faux journalism efforts attacking ACORN and Shirley Sherrod, is simply a small-time, ethically impaired lowlife-- pond scum. You would be wrong. Andrew Breitbart is, scum-metaphor-wise, BP grade, ocean destroying, gull oil well destorying major scum.


Breitbart is no lone wolf. He is not an unethical oddball faux journalist doing weird projects.


Breitbart is at the center of the right wing's media echo chamber system. He is a core, integral player who plays a major role in defining the conversations on the right.


That makes it a much bigger deal, a more important story, when Breitbart engages in such aggressively, blatantly unethical, dishonest reporting.


Wikipedia reports, "Andrew Breitbart helps run the Drudge Report website." That puts Breitbart dead center in the middle of the right wing's messaging system, since the Drudge REport is used as the go to place for right wing pundits on Fox and the talk radio echo chamber, to find talking points each day.
