While liberalism looks to regain its composure after suffering a historic defeat at the polls yesterday, they and their cohorts in mainstream media will be holding up any little victory, no matter how small, to prove their ideological relevancy in a society that has soundly rejected them.
One of those instances of which I speak is the story of Andrew Breitbart and ABC. The Soros-funded bloggers at Media Matters think they won a victory in leading the tantrum to drive him off the air. I suspect it was far more rooted in envy than anything else; Breitbart has done more in a the last two years to affect the trajectory of policy in this country – publishing the tapes of the now-destroyed ACORN, raising the profile of the Pigford scandal, et al. – than Media Matters has accomplished in its entire existence. Maybe that’s why people like Eric Boehlert are continually omitted from invitations to national discourse? Maybe it’s why JournoListas like Greg Sargent formally of Soros-funded Talking Points Memo never gain national attention except in scathing critiques on blogs by people lamenting the loss of journalistic integrity from people who live off the unearned credit of the term “journalist.”
Make no mistake: the left failed to silence Andrew Breitbart on election night. His empire was represented by yours truly on air and his sentiment is one I share.
That’s the problem with the left and their strategy: you can’t hit an object that has no target. The brilliance of Andrew Breitbart is that he has created thousands of Andrew Breitbarts. I should know, I work for the media collective he established that has given a platform to an army of citizen journalists. I’ve seen them. They are the seeds of hope and truth in a society where progressivism survives because it controls the tool it uses to inflate its importance. Of course, I don’t expect an ideology, which believes that the state has more rights than the individual to understand the concept of starfish vs. spider.
So Media Matters’ CEO can fire off his irrelevant missives while the rest of us sit back, arms folded, and wait for them to come a day late to the realization I just described above. This is one battle they and their Soros cash did not and will not win.
