EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: Breitbart's Manic Admissions on ACORN 'Pimp' Hoax - 'Why does it matter?!!!'

EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: 'Andy Breitbart Explains It All For You' - Disturbing Admissions, Manic Responses to the ACORN Video 'Pimp' Hoax
On-the-record answers at CPAC, that the corporate media couldn't be bothered to get themselves before misreporting the story...
- Guest Blogged by Mike Stark of StarkReports.com



A few "highlights" from the insane, must-watch, interview…

STARK: It's a simple question, though. How did the pimp costume add to the context?
BREITBART: It's the title sequence, like at the beginning of Borat it has music in it.
STARK: You don't think that was misleading?
BREITBART: Why would it be misleading?

BREITBART: Okay? Hello to anyone that thinks that I was misleading. I did not know that there was a discrepancy between the title sequence, I didn't think it was significant.

BREITBART: Why does it maaaaatteeeer? It means nothing! He's a pimp! In a thing! It doesn't matter! It was a title sequence!...Do you say this to Borat? Do you go, "When, at the, at the beginning of Borat, you're dressed like this, and then in the next scene you're dressed in a different way?"

STARK: You've been very, very meticulous in insisting on corrections from media outlets that get things wrong…Why not be equally meticulous in telling the New York Times he was not dressed as a pimp, the way you reported, when he went into the office?
BREITBART: But what I saw through the title sequence, that's when I reported that …
STARK: But now you know it's not true.
BREITBART: Okay, right….And I've stated, and I have….
STARK: You've asked the New York Times for a correction?
BREITBART: (pause) I don't think it matters…

1. His constant comparisons of O'Keefe's film to Borat are telling.
Borat was fake entertainment. Brietbart is pulling the standard RW feint that it's all being done in fun when called on something. Just like Limbaugh when he calls himself a harmless entertainer after he says some horrible thing.

3. Breitbart has a six-year-old's mentality
Nothing but what he's focused on, to the exclusion of everything else, matters. If you present equivalent situations and note the discrepancy in his overwrought reactions to those situations, you will get silence, a blank stare, and perhaps a squeaking protest that he doesn't think it matters. And even though all the heavy lifting has been done for the New York Times (as just one example), they have a much higher threshold for correcting the record than they do for running an erroneous report in the first place.
