A Refresher Course On Andrew Breitbart's Dishonest Tactics
February 01, 2011 8:02 pm ET — 66 Comments

Andrew Breitbart's website Big Government is promoting heavily edited videos produced by anti-abortion rights activist Lila Rose and falsely claiming that the video proves that Planned Parenthood engages in systemic criminal activities. Below, Media Matters reviews the dishonest tactics used in the past by Andrew Breitbart, James O'Keefe, and other Breitbart associates.

Breitbart's Big Government Promotes Dishonest Lila Rose Video

Rose: "Planned Parenthood Advises 'Pimp' on Underage Sex Trafficking, Secret Abortions for Minors." From Lila Rose's BigGovernment.com blog post, headlined "Shock Investigation: Planned Parenthood Advises 'Pimp' On Underage Sex Trafficking, Secret Abortions For Minors":

As we release this footage, it disturbs me to think of the Planned Parenthood supporters who will watch this video and still refuse to believe their own eyes and ears. No matter the evidence, a few people will refuse to believe Planned Parenthood would ever do anything wrong. To these people I ask: What more will it take? - Big Government, 02/01/11

But Planned Parenthood Actually Reported The "Potential Sex Trafficking" To Law Enforcement Officials. On January 24, Planned Parenthood released the following statement, titled "Planned Parenthood Informs Federal Authorities of Potential Sex Trafficking":

Breitbart And O'Keefe Repeatedly Misrepresented ACORN Tapes In Substance...

MUCH MUCH MORE AT LINK

Rep.Weiner. Anyone that will do underhanded manuevers like he does doesn't deserve any consideration what-so-ever. The bastard is a filth monger nothing more.

he has secrets and they will eventually come out.

If good works can outweigh foolishness and betrayal, Breitbart won't be able to partake.

But guess which one of them will now be able to grab an audience of millions to talk about whatever he wants?

Will Repost!

and urging his resignation.

There's nothing special about Weiner that he deserves Dems support...IMHO.

Anthony Wiener has a history of having done much good in congress, for his party, and for the country. Unfortunately, he has shown that he has "feet of clay", not unlike many otherwise decent people in the world. I still will judge him by his history and it has been, for the most part, good.

Breitbart, on the other hand, has no history of having done anything noble or decent in this world. To the contrary, he leads the charge of malice and mayhem wherever he goes and in whatever he does.

Anthony Wiener has MANY redeeming qualities and hopefully he is thoughtful and sensitive enough a man to take a life lesson from all this and become a better person.

Breitbart will ALWAYS remain a rotter, a vile and contemptible human being without a conscience.

but there are evidently too many self-appointed Guardians of Moral Virtue around.

He is a liar and there is simply no comparison ~ unfortunately his cohorts in the MSM will now use this, and forget all the rest, to legitimize him. Which they have always done, and the question is why?

I suppose Weiner's better than Hitler and Ted Bundy, too. Talk about damning with faint praise.

to just about the same degree as he is better than Andrew Breitbart.

The reflection is not so much on Mr. Wiener as it is Mr. Breitbart, I would contend.

It's about putting their behaviors into proper cause-and-effect perspective. But thanks for kicking thread.

and I'd like to know who's siccing him on people and organizations and his funding source(s).

Breitbart destroying people's livelihoods and pushing an agenda to undermine our social safety net and journalistic standards using fraudulent tactics vs. Weiner trying to get off on the Internet?

Media ignores Breitbart lies even as it affects national policy; spends days highlighting Weiner's which don't have much real implication for anyone?

Yeah, it's the argument.

You weren't aware Brietbart was a problem? Why would you say that?
