The mainstream media reports every trick him and O'Keefe pull despite the long history of fabrications and deceptive editing. Every thing Brietbart does is calculated. Whenever O'Keefe releases a video the first step is to demand the media give them attention or be exposed as liberal gate keepers. The media plays along, then a few days later after the damage is done (ie someone gets fired, or resigns) the media stumbles across what blogs have been reporting for days: the videos are fabricated. At that point Brietbart goes on a short PR campaign slamming the media/liberals and bemoaning double standards, political correctness, etc. Not that it matters considering the right has already won the argument and collected a scalp.
He doesn't deserve a spotlight to defend himself free of any type of opposing view point. All his targets focus on the idiotic guilt-by-association shit conservatives use against Obama (while conveniently ignoring all of Bush's ties shady folk, including the Bin Ladens derp derp). The NPR person was actually leaving the network anyway. Yet because this one person had a little too much real talk for the Beardos of the world, the entire NPR must be destroyed? Because one Planned Parenthood associate didn't call 911 asap, the entire organization should be taken down? Because a couple Acorn people said dumb shit, the entire organization is corrupt? I might as well get my camera and tape Walmart greeters, I can take down a multi billion dollar corporation too.
