The New York Times interviewed Andrew Breitbart<\/a> about the Anthony Weiner affair on Saturday. He attempted to strike a non-partisan tone saying that…<\/p>\n

“I am as offended when John Ensign acts like an idiot, when Chris Lee acts like an idiot.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

However, the Times failed to note that Breitbart’s BigGovernment blog did not publish a single story about the travails of either Ensign or Lee. Not one single story.<\/strong> How offended was he?<\/p>\n

Compare that to his obsession with Weiner that produced 17 separate stories<\/a> and consumed every single headline<\/strong> on his masthead (except for the plug for his lame book<\/a>), and that was four days after the story broke.<\/p>\n

Obviously Breitbart was not as offended by the sexcapades of Ensign and Lee as he was about Weiner. He was lying as usual. And as usual the Times, our so-called liberal mainstream media, was clueless and unable to set the record straight. That’s how Breitbart gets away with being a dishonest slug and propagating his horse manure brand of pseudo-journalism.<\/p>\n
