Breitbart.com Steps Up to Fulfill Founder's Mission

From James Rainey, at the Los Angeles Times, "Breitbart.com sets sights on ruling the conservative conversation." There's an interview with Steve Bannon, although Rainey gets some things wrong, for example:
Breitbart made his name by sowing outrage. He promoted the hidden-camera videos that helped take down the liberal community activist group ACORN. He exposed the sex-charged online romp of the now ex-Democratic Congressman Anthony Weiner. He hyped a video that left the misleading impression that an Agriculture Department employee was giving a speech defending racism. In fact, she was condemning it.
That's the MSM meme, which is bogus. See William Jacobson, "Saturday Night Card Game (Repeat after me: “The Shirley Sherrod tape was not misleading”)."
