He was wrong. On the Web, the ?Complex? has less and less control over the news. Breitbart?s projects, starting with Drudge, filtered news from the ?Complex? for conservative consumption. His coverage of ACORN turned Breitbart into the kind of celebrity who could hold an hour of prime-time TV, or anchor the morning of a conservative conference when hosts needed to fill the ballroom. He used that celebrity to mock the left as evil and the media as complicit. ?My mission isn?t to quash debate,? he wrote in 2011. ?It?s to show that the mainstream media aren?t mainstream, that their feigned objectivity isn?t objective, and that open, rigorous debate is a positive good in our society. Man, how I long for the days of Sam Kinison, Richard Pryor, Abbie Hoffman, Dr. Hunter S. Thompson, George Carlin, and Lenny Bruce.?
