A reason to avoid ABC Election coverage: Breitbart is an analyst.
Andrew Breitbart To Provide "Analysis" For ABC News On Election Night
Brian Beutler | October 29, 2010, 7:00PM Share 1


ABC News has confirmed that conservative agitprop artist Andrew Breitbart will join the ABC News team to provide "live analysis" of election returns on Tuesday night.

Breitbart runs the conservative website Big Government. And, as luck would have it his editor, Dana Loesch, will also provide analysis for ABC on November 2.

ABC News' David Ford told Media Matters, "He will be one of many voices on our air, including Bill Adair of Politifact. If Andrew Breitbart says something that is incorrect, we have other voices to call him on it."

The LAST thing I want to see on a network is this lying scumbag POS and his editor.:grr:
Join me in pointedly avoiding this progamming, will you?

1. You gotta be kidding me
Just because ABC is willfully ignorant of all things elections is not an excuse.

7. Exactly. I will NOT watch ABC if this scumbag stays on.
"He will be one of many voices on our air, including Bill Adair of Politifact. If Andrew Breitbart says something that is incorrect, we have other voices to call him on it."


Are they fucking shitting me? Why have someone on to give an analysis when you already know they might say something incorrect and has a history of lying? IDIOTS!

5. This is beyond disgusting and shameful.
This man's creditability should have been shot. I shouldn't be surprised though considering the media is a shit hole anyway.

8. After Gibson and Snufflupagus botched the Obama-Clinton debate two years ago . . .
. . . I didn't think ABC could stoop any lower.

I was wrong.

11. Great choice.
The ultra-cons will be watching Fox "News" and everyone else will avoid ABC like a plague due to their hiring of this credibility-challenged right-wing partisan hack.

13. Set him up at a wet bar and keep his dosed with vodka tonics and Luckys
I'm sure he'll say something remotely truthful or relevant eventually.

14. That in a nutshell is what's caused America's decline
Dishonesty and unethical behaviour is promoted and rewarded, not decried or punished.

Not too many years ago in America (and certainly still in other western nations) this man would have been blackballed from the industry.

19. GOOGLE BREITBART! I LOLd at the twitter feed. ABC is getting blasted.
Plus I Googled his producer woman and found this on her site...

"... she's fearless. She's a pure rising star."
- Andrew Breitbart

"My mental match."
- Dr. Michael Savage

"Loesch is the sweet Midwestern goth version of Laura Ingraham."
- Playboy, Anonymous

"... from crazytown ... A total moron."
- Salon's Joan Walsh

22. I think Joan Walsh's take is the best
Cripes, I hate how they are shoving the conservo wingnuts down our throat again. Reminds me of '94.

that was removed from Rush Limbaugh's ass some years ago.

27. They couldn't get Hannity that night, huh?
Well, that's a shame.
I'll have to start referring to them as the ABC branch of Fox News.

Yet, I hardly watch ABC anymore anyway.
Shhh, don't tell anyone that though.
