Washington Post Scrubs Positive Reader Reviews of "Hating Breitbart"

Positive reviews of the documentary "Hating Breitbart" apparently must not be tolerated at the Washington Post. Indeed, the Post's own film critic skewered the film, giving it a paltry one and a half stars. 

So when readers started posting 4-star reviews and raving about the movie in the paper's comments section, it was too much for the editors to bear. 

What to do, what to do....? What any self-respecting leftist organization would do: Scrub the comments. 

Ah, the irony. If there are any are any lingering doubts about what drove Andrew Breitbart to spearhead a movement of citizen journalists and create a new media outlet, the Washington Post's censorship is a perfect illustration. 

********* 

Update from Breitbart.com as of November 2nd: "The Washington Post has restored the erased readers reviews as of this afternoon ... for now." 

Here's a link. 

Got 21 Minutes? Meet Breitbart....

Meet Andrew Breitbart, the "man behind the mayhem. "

You can read Nick Gillespie's (Reason Magazine) review of the film here. You can also read Matt Welch's and Nick Gillespie's obits of Breitbart here and here.

My favorite line? "The new media is taking over where the old media have failed." 

RIP Andrew Breitbart. I wish you could have stuck around, at least until November 7th.
