Peter Schweizer, Steve Kroft, MSNBC, Barney Frank, and Breitbart's Bigs Vs. The Immoral Status Quo

This isn’t a criticism of Steve Kroft, but has the CBS news veteran ever before left the confines of “60 Minutes” to go out on the cable news circuit with his interview subject (in this case our own Peter Schweizer) in order to push a story?

For those of us obsessed with news and the narrative and what’s happening in Washington D.C., the video below is dogs and cats sleeping together:

Consider the dynamic. You have an openly conservative Breitbart editor, Peter Schweizer, joining forces with the mainstream media (Kroft) to expose the immoral insider trading taking place within the ranks of both Republican and Democrat Congressional members, and doing so on MSNBC.

Meanwhile, as The Huffington Post pretends none of this can possibly be happening and Politico gives it only cursory coverage, Schweizer’s story is shaking up D.C. as hearings are called, a GOP presidential candidate catches the wave, and Rep. Barney Frank(!) suddenly discovers his inner reformer.

These are strange times and strange bedfellows, to be sure. But this isn’t about partisan politics. If it were, Andrew Breitbart, the publisher of this site, wouldn’t have openly called for a sitting Republican Congressman to resign.

But what’s happened is that we’ve come together after discovering that those We The People entrusted with the highest honor of elected office arrogantly exempted themselves from the laws they enforce against us — gave themselves and no one else an objectively immoral loophole in order to enrich themselves and gain an advantage over regular, hard-working people in the world of financial and land speculation.

This is too outrageous to ignore… at least for some.

There’s little doubt that six months from now Breitbart and his Bigs, “60 Minutes,” Barney Frank, and MSNBC will once again find themselves in separate corners ready rumble over our various political causes. But isn’t it nice to know that when it comes to the blatant wrong-doing chiseled into the status quo that the unlikeliest of allies can stand together, point to this wrong, and demand (and maybe even effect) change.

What we’re discovering is that there’s another dividing line beyond the Left and Right. That there are those on both sides who will protect the powerful, no matter how corrupt, and those who won’t.

Guess who’s winning.
