Turn me on dead man: Breitbart.com "editor-in-chief" promises to "go a little Jesse Jackson on you"

[Amerigo Vespucci]

Days after Breitbart's sudden death, his right-wing new media empire has been revamped, redesigned, and relaunched with the goal of competing as a serious news outlet—and moving away from the aggregation and activist blogging that have been his sites' bread and butter until now.

Breitbart.com editor-in-chief Joel Pollak described the website's new strategy in an interview with BuzzFeed late Monday.

"We've moved from aggregation to cultivation, and investigation across the nation," said Pollak. "We'll go a little Jesse Jackson on you."

Until this week's relaunch, Breitbart.com existed mainly as an aggregator, consisting of links to newswires in addition to a quartet of Breitbart-owned group blogs with specialized focuses, like the politics-centric BigGovernment.com, and media criticism page BigJournalism.com.

1. What does it mean to go Jesse Jackson on you? I don't understand. What is wrong with Jackson?

2. They are going to wear a nice suit and speak in an oratorical style reminiscent of Gospel Preachers?

8. Boy I sure am getting different answers, LOL. I am glad to see we all aren't on the crazy train.

10. They plan on RHYMING!!! That MUST be what they mean!

Check out our website for just a little bit, pretty soon you'll realize we're completely full of shit!

Lotsa pretty pictures so you don't think we're lazy; a quick look at the text and you'll know that we are crazy!

We don't really care if what we print is true or not, we will feature ads with naked women who are hot!

If you're a Republican you'll love the news we crack, even though it's written by dumb, lying bullshit hacks!

11. LOL

4. I have no idea what it means

That's basically the reason why I posted it...seems like a commitment on the part of the "editor in chief" to carry on the batshit crazy rantings of the site's founder.

6. Well good I thought I was missing something. I don't think ill of Mr. Jackson. After all he looks

for his community interests. Why is that any different than the republicans looking after their white community interests?

5. He Intends Doing It In Black-Face, Ma'am

No accounting for the foibles of these disturbed minds....

[southernyankeebelle]

7. Seriously are you kidding me? Disturbed minds indeed. I hope your wrong.

[The Magistrate]

12. A Jest On My Part, Ma'am, But Poe's Law Does Operate Inexorably....

[southernyankeebelle]

13. Thank goodness you are jesting. LOL

[Lint Head]

3. Just something else for the white supremacists to read. For the ones that can read.

9. Jesse's from Chicago ...
