Say It Ain't So Already

ABC News Tells Andrew Breitbart: Never Mind

This afternoon ABC News canceled its invitation to Andrew Breitbart to be a part of their online election coverage (yay!).

This is the letter they sent him:

Dear Mr. Breitbart,

We have spent the past several days trying to make clear to you your limited role as a participant in our digital town hall to be streamed on ABCNews.com and Facebook.   The post on your blog last Friday created a widespread impression that you would be analyzing the election on ABC News.   We made it as clear as possible as quickly as possible that you had been invited along with numerous others to participate in our digital town hall.  Instead of clarifying your role, you posted a blog on Sunday evening in which you continued to claim a bigger role in our coverage.  As we are still unable to agree on your role, we feel it best for you not to participate.

Sincerely,

Andrew Morse

Gosh, I think I can hear Breitbart yelling something about liberals hating free speech all the way out here in Colorado.

Schadenfreude.
