Maybe, but you do use those stalwarts of objective media like thinkprogress and Rolling Stone.

Hell, I've used HuffPoop several times for the hypocrisy factor alone.

True but Breitbart ain't exactly Huff Po. I'll give you TP and Rolling Stone. That being said RS broke the Stanley McChrystal story and like him or not, Taibbi's financial work has been very provocative.

Breitbart built HuffPo.

Well, I'm glad you've come around to the fact that Israel's capital is Jerusalem despite thinking otherwise.

As to what business it is of our's? Only to the extent that it's one of the key items in the dispute between Israel and the rest of the Middle East and the Palestinian issue. You can consider, then, that it's not our problem if you also are of the mind that the political issues in the Middle East are not our problem. While I'm sure many people on these boards advocate the ostrich approach and should just bury our heads in the sand regarding foreign affairs, I don't think we can just ignore issues of significance that happen outside of our geographic borders.

So why do we stick our heads in the sand re: their continued encroachment on the West Bank?

Its called you start a f'ing war (several times for that matter) and lose every time, then you're gonna lose territory.

Breitbart built HuffPo.

HuffPo was built (I believe) as an answer to Drudge. But Breitbart used to work for Drudge, didn't he?

Both. Drudge introduced the two to each other, and Brietbart became one of the founders of HuffPoop.

Breitbart was a self-described recovering liberal.

So is David Horowitz and Bernie Goldberg.

And A. Huffington went the other way. The whole thing might make an interesting movie.

Sort of.

But they are neocons; from the former liberal set that developed the philosophy that our form of democracy is a brand that can be exported. By force, if necessary. The crux of the neocon philosophy is about foreign policy.

Breitbart was more of a media liberal who rebelled against the mainstream primarily due to what he saw as a lack of media integrity.
