My Take
I find Andrew Breitbart one of the most consequential and most troubling media figures of his era. You cannot tell the story of how the internet rewired American news without him: HuffPost, the Drudge Report, and finally the site that bears his name. I disagree with much of what that outlet became, and the academic criticism of it is well documented. Still, as an editor I am fascinated by his instinct for attention; he grasped earlier than almost anyone that modern media battles would be fought over narrative and outrage. His death in 2012 at forty-three left the machine running without its inventor, and we are still living with the results.
