Righteous Indignation: Excuse Me While I Save the World!

Andrew Breitbart was not interested in polite disagreement. He was interested in winning, and in Righteous Indignation, he explains exactly why the fight matters and how he got into it. The man who helped build the Drudge Report, contributed to the launch of The Huffington Post, and then built his own network of conservative websites drawing millions of daily readers offers a frank, funny, and ferocious account of the media landscape as he saw it: systematically biased, ideologically captured, and determined to present one side of every national story as though it were the only side. Breitbart traces the intellectual history of the modern left from the Frankfurt School through the cultural Marxism he saw embedded in the assumptions of mainstream journalism. He details the tools and tactics of the liberal media machine, and the tools and tactics he developed to fight it. Along the way, he shares the story of his own political formation: the years of drifting, the gradual awakening, and the decision to stop watching from the sidelines. Brash, funny, fiery, and irreverent, Righteous Indignation is exactly what its title promises, the account of a man who got mad, refused to shut up, and changed the media landscape before he was done.
