Hating Breitbart

It hardly needs to be said that this "documentary" is just the right-wing infotainment industry giving itself another propaganda hand job.

It does its best to ignore the fact that Breitbart was guilty of the very thing he claimed to be trying to root out: extreme media bias; says nothing about his penchant for ridiculous conspiracy theories or the many times he and his stooge James O'Keefe were caught lying or falsifying evidence against the left, much less how the very last moments of his life were were spent trying to fabricate evidence that the Occupy Wall Street protesters were all rapists.

Instead, the thesis is all about how Andrew Breitbart did not deserve to be hated. Which is about as accurate as their decision to call the Sarah Palin documentary "Undefeated." Don't indulge your curiosity by watching this movie. Look at what he actually said, did, and stood for on Wikipedia instead, and you'll be incredibly glad Andrew Breitbart is dead too.

This was, by far, one of the best documentaries I've ever seen. It was truly eye-opening to a world that is often so closed off to the majority of Americans. Talk about fascinating. No matter what "side" you stand with, you must watch this movie. I am a big documentary lover, and have seen many, but none have kept me glued to the screen as much as this one did. I highly recommend this to anyone who likes to leave a movie still thinking about it hours, days, and weeks after it's ended. I finished watching it and went straight to my computer to look up more about Andrew, his story, and about the subject matter at hand (journalism in America). Although he is sadly no longer with us, Andrew's words have not fallen on deaf ears. His legacy will clearly continue to inspire and enlighten many. Absolutely amazing story!

This documentary will probably not convert anyone who disagreed with Andrew Breitbart before. It is certainly a film that is in favor of what he was doing before he died in 2012. I know that this documentary didn't get any attention in the mainstream press because it clearly is an indict6ment on their absolute disdain for anything that doesn't move their agenda forward. I used to think that the media had a left wing bias, but was generally fair. In the past 20 years I have certainly lost that sentiment. Andrew Breitbart's work was more about getting in the face of the media and challenging them about their bias. Of course they hated him for that, denigrating him as not being a journalist. Why? Because he was championing truth. He certainly knew what he was doing, yes he was brazen, a trouble maker, so what? Again if he were on the left he would be hailed as a HERO!!!! He would be celebrated as a courageous truth seeker, a watchdog for the people. He would be bigger than Michael Moore. Michael Moore has made millions of dollars making opinion pieces calling them documentaries and the media by and large LOVE HIM!!! When Fahrenheit 9/11 came out they championed him to no end, the film is the highest grossing documentary ever. Let's face it, Moore is a talented film maker and knows his audience. Does it matter that most of what he espouses in his films has been dis-proved? Not to the media at large, he gets a pass because his politics are in line with theirs.

The truth is that the media at large has done a disservice to this country for choosing to be very partisan. They have chosen a side for the most part and want the general public to buy the narrative that they are selling. He fully admitted he was a conservative and that he wanted to expose the left's war on the Tea Party. The media at large created the narrative that they were by and large a bunch on racists. The film deals with the incident in Washington DC where there was a protest against Obamacare and some African American congress members were walking and supposedly heard the N word screamed at them 15 times. The allegations were picked up bey the mainstream media and they ran with the story. Breitbart offered a reward for proof that the N word was shouted one time. His argument was that with all of the media that was there, people with their cell phone cameras, why wasn't there any video of the so called people that screamed the racial slur? I would think that if that existed it would have come out. You think MSNBC would have resisted in airing that video? I think not. At one point there was a video that was being run of on major news sources of someone carrying rifle at a Tea Party rally, again the media wanting to portray these rallies as being full of gun touting racists. The problem was that they had not shown the man's face. Turns out it was an African American carrying that rifle at the rally. But of course didn't fit the narrative, so they tweaked the image to fit what they wanted us to see. That should make anyone furious, to be lied to like that. No matter what side of the political spectrum you are. The so called journalists in the mainstream media hated Andrew Breitbart because he was actually doing the job that they were supposed to do, to inform.

You may not agree with Breitbarts tactics, but he exposed the media as more than just having a bias. They are actively championing people and causes that fit with their ideology. You may not agree with all of Breitbart's politics and tactics, but it is clear that he shined a light on how the media is aiding in further dividing this country.

Good for him.

What a great film.

It is a must see documentary. This doc kept your attention like no other from the first frame to the last second.

Andrew Breitbart was a polarizing figure like few we have ever seen.

Love him or HATE him...he fought vigorously for what he believed in. To rate this film anything less than an 8 would be on a moral par with Al Gore selling currentTV to the Qatar oil tycoons.

I recommend you watch this film and see for yourself...then write a review as I have!

A great watch for any doc fan. Well worth the time.

I hope to see all of the director's next films.

The only let down is that we will not be able to see any of Andrew's other films he undoubtedly would of made.

He had a lot of courage to take on these hypocrites.

Excellent movie and I for one will carry on his message and try to muster have the courage he showed! He fights the bullying tactics He slams the hypocrites He had no fear! Those lying pieces of crap black legislators that made the claims that tea-party members shouted racial slurs were called out and could not provide one piece of evidence. How dare they?? The Acorn members came out looking pretty innocent too! Right! Jesse Jackson Jr and the rest of the Chicago liars should be in jail. I hope Andrew's legacy lives on for years to come. It's high-time in this country that the left wing media is called out on their bullying
