When the history of digital media is written, one name will figure prominently: Los Angeles-born and raised would-be comedian Andrew Breitbart.

He got his start in journalism in the mid 1980s, with a comedic article in his high school newspaper.

A few years later, Breitbart was instrumental in developing the Drudge Report and the Huffington Post, and ultimately Breitbart News.

Along the way, he was frequently criticized, even vilified, by mainstream media for his contrarian, often combative,opinions.

In 2011 Breitbart wrote a book called Righteous Indignation – and that’s when I had a few minutes with him.

So here now, from 2011, Andrew Breitbart.

Andrew Breitfbart died in 2012 at age 43 from heart failure.

The liberal media hates Christianity. How many times have you heard commentators on the right saying that or something similar?

But is it true? Is there a war on Christianity? And is that war led by the liberal media?

Well-known columnist and commentator SE Cupp says, yes. At least she said that in 2010 when she wrote a book called Losing Our Religion – and I think a distance of 14 years hasn’t really blunted the arguments she makes, whether you agree with her or not.

So here now from 2010 SE Cupp.

How Ann Coulter’s Demonic Theory Explains America’s Political Divide

Bill Thompson

It is no secret that America has become more politically divided than ever. And that in turn has raised so many questions about why we are so split.

Why do conservatives think the way they do? And why do liberals think the way they do?

A few years ago conservative commentator Ann Coulter thought she had the answer. She put her theory in a book called Demonic: How the Liberal Mob Is Endangering America. The essence of her theory: Democrats and liberals are simply following a mob mentality.

As you listen to this interview, keep in mind this was years before Donald Trump and the MAGA movement.

So here now from 2011 Ann Coulter.

Ann Coulter will be celebrating her birthday this Friday. She’ll be 62.

And as you listen in the next few minutes, you may recognize some familiar themes that permeate politics to this day, including the Republican identity crisis Margaret Hoover talks about.
