BREITBART: "I Admit It - I Tricked You"
In his speech, Breitbart talked about the beginning of his website and how the media didn't take him seriously. And they didn't. So how does he get their attention? The Acorn videos.

***** So I'm going to have to stage a series of tricks to get the mainstream media to have to pay attention to it. So that's what I did. I admit it, I tricked you.

He's acting as if he's talking to the media at the event, but he's also talking to the crowd. I tricked you. And you can tell the crowd is uncertain as to how to react. There's no response whatsover.

As he continues, he calls the media the "propaganda networks," proposes more citizen journalists and also supports personal attacks on those in the news:

What would you do, Katie, if you woke up and you saw on your competitor’s channel: ‘Let’s talk about whether or not Katie Couric is racist’? I think she’d be pissed off.

1. The media didn't take him seriously because......
...he's a fucking liar! The poor bastard doesn't understand he is no better than the MSM, in fact, he just does the same thing. How about reporting on facts? Tricking is just another word for lying. Breitfuck is just another lying sack of shit who wants attention, by his own admission. What happened to journalists getting accolades for doing good work instead of making up shit to get attention?
