Not quite a pillow fight, this.

Taking On the 'Democrat-Media Complex'

James Taranto's Interview With Andrew Breitbart: Taking On the 'Democrat-Media Complex  is a keen read.  Aside from learning where Breitbart: came from (all I knew was one day all of Drudge's linked stories seemed to go to his site), there's a delicious back-story on the masterful ACORN depantsing-by-video.  And here, I think, is a truth more damning than ACORN's criminality.  When aspiring film-maker James O'Keefe showed up with those ACORN videos, Breitbart knew instinctively that  "the mainstream media, given this information, would not cover it and would, in effect, attempt to cover it up"   The mainstream media is totally, utterly in the tank with kindred Democrats.  “ This plan wasn't just a means to defend against the media's desire to attack the messenger," Mr. Breitbart says. "It was also a means to attack the media and to expose them . . . for the partisan hacks that they are. ... Every step of the way, we wanted to plant traps" for Acorn and its defenders, ” Taranto, in closing, is compelled to gently upbraid Breitbart for going outside of strict (now utterly corrupt) journalism guidelines. “ While Breitbart-style opinionated journalism can provide healthy competition, it cannot substitute for straight news. ” I'll leave you to chew on that logic without further comment.  Hooray for Andrew Breitbart, and hooray for us.
