Must we still call it BigJournalism?

At this point the only question worth asking of Andrew Breitbart's BigJournalism is why we must continue to use the word “Journalism” when referencing the website. It's a bit like a restaurant using the word “tasty” in its name. The name itself doesn't make the food the slightest bit tasty.

Take this post for example. Gregg Opelka spends nearly 900 words, a few images, and a YouTube video to make the point that President Obama can't be considered a “Master Communicator” because his April 13 press conference was his first since July 2009:

The April 13 press conference -- a short one consisting of only 8 questions, all quite understandably on the nuclear security issue-was the first solo presser since July 22, 2009.

That's a 265-day desert without presidential communication.

The problem for BigJournalism is that Opelka's claim just isn't true. You see, President Obama had a press conference in February -- something anyone with an internet connection and access to Google could have found. I'll assume Opelka has both since he is posting on a... website.

It's worth noting that Opelka makes no mention of the media's obsession with Obama's “overexposure” - an issue the “MSM” seems to hit on every few weeks.
