Slate has an interesting piece on Andrew Breitbart that’s definitely worth a read.

(hat tip Mediaite)

Andrew Breitbart has launched his much anticipated group blog Big Journalism. Here’s what Andrew told Mediaite last month about the site:

Big Journalism will be run by former Time Magazine staffer Michael Walsh, who is also a former journalism professor and film & television professor at Boston University. Walsh and Breitbart met at a casual gathering of like-minded people and hit it off. When Breitbart made the decision to launch a new site covering journalism, he says that Walsh was first person that came to his mind. The fact that Walsh is a media veteran going back to the early 70s didn’t hurt, he said.

“Big Journalism will be the go-to site for solidly backed-up stories, sharp points of view, and really great writing,” he said. “We are defenders of the First Amendment and resolute enemies of political correctness. That’s the key to the site’s philosophy.”

Big Journalism will join Breitbart’s ever growing network of group blogs that includes Big Hollywood and Big Government. It was Big Government that drove force the ACORN scandal last year. Andrew was given exclusive rights to release the explosive undercover ACORN sting videos by Hanna Giles and James O’Keefe.

If Big Hollywood and in particular Big Government are any indication I think we can expect great things from Big Journalism. It’s about time the state controlled media or “democrat media complex” as Breitbart calls it, had a little competition.

You can look for Big Journalism to cover the stories the media ignores because of ideology, political correctness, or both.
