Andrew Breitbart
Andrew Breitbart (February 1, 1969 – March 1, 2012) was an American conservative publisher, commentator, and writer. He was best known as the founder of the news and opinion website Breitbart News, and as a prominent figure in American conservative media.
Breitbart's endeavors in the media industry were often marked by a series of controversies and conspiracy theories. He played a crucial role in publicizing the ACORN 2009 undercover videos controversy, where he promoted heavily edited videos that purported to show misconduct by ACORN employees, which led to significant political fallout and the eventual dissolution of the organization. His methods were criticized for being misleading and unethical, with accusations that the editing misrepresented the context of the interactions.
In addition to his work with ACORN, Breitbart was involved in promoting the Anthony Weiner sexting scandal, which led to the resignation of the Congressman. His involvement in these high-profile political controversies solidified his reputation as a combative and polarizing figure in political media.
Breitbart was also known for his connections with various conspiracy theorists, including Alex Jones. He occasionally appeared on Jones's radio show, engaging in discussions that sometimes ventured into conspiracy-laden territories. Despite these associations, Breitbart maintained a significant influence in conservative media circles through his provocative style and willingness to challenge mainstream narratives.
Breitbart passed away on March 1, 2012, but his legacy continues through his eponymous website, which remains a significant player in conservative media.
