Pigford Across The Media
2013-04-28
[BREITBART] It should be remembered that the left-wing Media Matters for America scoffed at Andrew Breitbart, calling his interest in Pigford the "stupidest conspiracy theory" on the Internet. Now that MMFA's precious New York Times has at last come to Andrew's side on this issue, one wonders whether MMFA will keep its anti-Breitbart/Pigford posts up on its site.

A nice recap of the scandal penned by Joel Pollak can be seen on Breitbart.com.

But, after the NYT finally hit the story, by Friday afternoon it broke on several sites and across several media outlets. Now that the Times finally noticed the fraud endemic in the tale, many mainstream and even leftwing sources have taken up the banner.

Politico took its cue from the Times with its piece, sensibly titled, "Blogs: New York Times vindicates Andrew Breitbart," in which the news website quotes Byron York's Tweet celebrating that Andrew has indeed been proven right.

The Daily Beast/Newsweek's Megan McArdle also delved into the scandal. Mother Jones hit the story, too, though strangely acted as if this was a tale of "inevitable ugliness" and white racism instead of massive government waste and fraud.
