When One Man Crashed the Press Conference That Changed Everything
A nearly voiceless Andrew Breitbart never intended to become the story that June afternoon in 2011. He'd simply shown up at a Sheraton hotel to watch Congressman Anthony Weiner's press conference, hoping to charge his dying BlackBerry in a back corner. Within minutes, reporters swarmed him with questions about his reporting on Weiner's inappropriate online behavior. They pushed him toward the podium. For thirteen minutes, with his throat ravaged by a cough, he fielded hostile questions on live television before Weiner finally appeared. This wasn't happenstance-it was the culmination of a decade-long crusade against what Breitbart called the "Democrat-Media Complex," the symbiotic relationship between progressive politics and mainstream news that he believed controlled America's narrative. His journey from apolitical California slacker to conservative media warrior offers a masterclass in how one person with righteous conviction can challenge institutional power.
