Unfortunately, Dylan Ratigan missed an opportunity to press Breitbart on his past transgressions against journalistic ethics and, well, basic human decency.

Dereliction Of Duty: Dylan Ratigan Demonstrates How Not To Interview Andrew Breitbart

April 19, 2011

MSNBC's Dylan Ratigan hosted notorious liar and deceptive video editor Andrew Breitbart to promote Breitbart's latest book and his "passion" for media accountability. In the process, he missed the opportunity to press Breitbart on his past transgressions against journalistic ethics and basic human decency. Not only that, but Ratigan also supported Breitbart's goal to use MSNBC as a platform for some much-needed credibility. Thus he became one of the unaccountable media figures Breitbart claims to be so passionate about exposing.

After introducing Breitbart as a "controversial blogger," Ratigan described the Big Government entrepreneur as a "sharpshooter who's good," a "smart man," and "an incredibly passionate and effective man." He then bonded with his guest by complimenting Breitbart's work and highlighting what he said were their shared passions. Breitbart said that his role in the media is "attacking people like" Ratigan, complained that he was "misunderstood," referred to himself as "the Upton Sinclair of the mainstream media" and expressed dismay that the national discourse could not be conducted as an "adult conversation." Ratigan concluded by saying that he would "love to continue this conversation" with Breitbart.

2. Someone is funding this racist, lying, deceiver. And Ratigan

just lost all credibility by simply following the orders of his bosses.

I won't click on anything that has Breitbart being treated like a normal human being, but did he ask Breitbart about the lawsuit being filed against him by Shirley Sherrod for his egregious lack of ethics, dishonesty, lies and racism?

I'm betting he did not. I'm sure they are sent memos when Breitbart is scheduled for a visit, 'do not refer to his real 'work'.

Just lost all respect for Ratigan.

3. lost respect as well

I lost respect for Ratigan after he treated Josh Fox (of Gasland fame) badly, not that long ago.

What's up with this guy? Makes one think he's a closet repug.
