Contributor


Breitbart's highest profile venue to date is the Drudge Report. Breitbart does not author stories on the website, but simply links to other mainstream news wire sources. See the Drudge Report for more information.

Author


Breitbart co-authored ''Hollywood, Interrupted : Insanity Chic in Babylon — The Case Against Celebrity'' with Mark Ebner; the book is highly critical of Hollywood and his perception of U.S. celebrity culture. [1] The publisher's description says, "Celebrities somehow believe that it's their god-given right to inflict their pathology on the rest of us. ''Hollywood, Interrupted'' illustrates how these dysfunctional dilettantes are mad as hell... And we're not going to take it any more."
Breitbart's work has been published in the Wall Street Journal, National Review Online and the Weekly Standard Online, among others.

Commentator


Breitbart has appeared as a conservative commentator on talk shows such as ''Real Time with Bill Maher'' and ''Dennis Miller''. [2] Breitbart took on a higher profile as a commentator during the 2004 U.S. election cycle after appearing in Michael Moore Hates America [3], a 2004 movie directed by Michael Wilson that is highly critical of filmmaker Michael Moore's documentary creation tactics and editing style. As a guest commentator on FOX News Channel's morning show on May 10th, 2004, Breitbart explained that "Michael Moore's been lying for ten years. Every time that guy lies he gains a pound. He's like a culinary Pinocchio" and "Yeah, they [Hollywood] love him. They love the sort of anti-middle American vibe that the guy gives off because he's from ''Flint, Michigan'', so he can ostensibly claim to be speaking for Middle America. But the guy lives on the Upper West Side, and he's the classic elitist." [4]

News site


He now runs his own news site at breitbart.com, with the motto "Just The News." The site is now frequently linked to by the Drudge Report and other independently run websites. The site features wire stories from the Associated Press, Reuters, Agence France-Presse, Fox News, PR Newswire, US Newswire, as well as direct links to a number of major international newspapers. Its Blog & "Network" links, however, tend to represent almost solely a US conservative point of view, such as National Review, Instapundit, and Townhall.com. The site also features a search engine powered by Infocious and a finance channel powered by FinancialContent. Breitbart also launched a video blog Breibart.TV in 2007. [5]
