Editorials

From Barnes & Noble

Andrew Breitbart is a political webmaster who has earned his right to the term. This conservative dynamo presides over no fewer than six websites. In Righteous Indignation, he rolls out his first book, true to his purpose of holding the mainstream media's feet to the fire by presenting neglected or concealed aspects of important stories. A feast for Breitbart's numerous online fans.

The Daily Caller

Righteous is three books in one, each self-contained. Together, they weave a narrative that will remind many readers of their own lives. Even if you don't share all of Andrew's political beliefs, you will find yourself identifying with at least some of his story and conclusions. The book is part biography, part history lesson, and part manifesto, and it flows with clarity of purpose from one page to the next. It subtly draws you into a narrative, strung through the whole book, where he meticulously makes the case against the media and pop culture, which, he argues, help spread and normalize the liberal agenda. He also explains how to combat that agenda.

The Washington Times

Right smack in the middle of this volume is where Mr. Breitbart's narrative takes off like a rocket. The chapter "Breakthrough" is in and of itself well worth the price of Righteous Indignation.

Publishers Weekly

Breitbart burns up the pages on how and why, in his view, the Left controls the media. He gives it a new name—the Democrat Media Complex—and attempts to demonstrate its existence, claiming balance because of his prior association with the Huffington Post. Throughout, he provides readers with details on his life as a drunken frat boy; chooses a liberal friend to illustrate all Democrats and a liberal professor to illustrate all intellectuals; and reprises the Clinton-Lewinsky and ACORN scandals. Readers who appreciate Conservative media might enjoy Breitbart's treatise. The inspired will likely find a call to action that includes advertisement for the author's websites. But everyone will be able to agree that "These are the years that we will look back on and question whether we did enough for our country and for our children." (Apr. 15)
