Breitbart clearly doesn't want BigJournalism.com to be taken seriously

January 06, 2010 5:15 pm ET by Simon Maloy

I didn't expect much from Andrew Breitbart's BigJournalism.com, and Breitbart's introductory post, in which he accidentally admitted he's a terrible journalist, confirmed that I was right to set the bar low.

But I think I might have made a mistake. I didn't set the bar low enough.

For example, I never imagined that the fourth-ever post on BigJournalism.com would be written from the perspective of President Obama's dog. I never dreamed that it would go on for over 2,200 words. And I certainly never imagined that it would contain the phrase: "Peggy [Noonan]... she smells good, like mahogany and oranges."
