9 Things to Know About Andrew Breitbart

by @ 2:10 pm on June 7, 2011. Filed under Politics

Since Breitbart is in the news this list from The Hollywood Reporter is interesting.

1. His father-in-law is actor Orson Bean, who was blacklisted in the 1950s as a suspected Communist, and his stepmother-in-law is actress Alley Mills, best known for her role as the mom on The Wonder Years.

2. He was a liberal until 1991, when he says he had an “epiphany” while watching on C-Span the Clarence Thomas U.S. Supreme Court confirmation hearings, which focused on accusations of sexual harassment. He told “Townhall” magazine: “By the end of the hearings, I was screaming at my TV, ‘How can you do this to this man?’”

3. He worked for E! Entertainment Television before becoming “Matt Drudge’s bitch” (his words) as editor of the Drudge Report. He also helped launch The Huffington Post before creating Big Hollywood, a blog for conservatives working in Hollywood. (“Big” is a reference to the media’s sinister habit of referring to “Big Oil” and “Big Tobacco”). He has since launched Big Journalism, Big Government and Big Peace.

As they say, ‘read the whole thing.’
