(Excerpt)

Dear Mr. Breitbart,

We have spent the past several days trying to make clear to you your limited role as a participant in our digital town hall to be streamed on ABCNews.com and Facebook. The post on your blog last Friday created a widespread impression that you would be analyzing the election on ABC News. We made it as clear as possible as quickly as possible that you had been invited along with numerous others to participate in our digital town hall. Instead of clarifying your role, you posted a blog on Sunday evening in which you continued to claim a bigger role in our coverage. As we are still unable to agree on your role, we feel it best for you not to participate.

Sincerely,

Andrew Morse
Morse is head of ABC's digital division, The Washington Post noted.

Original report follows...

Online entrepreneur Andrew Breitbart, known to many as the "noted propagandist" who created the racially-charged Shirley Sherrod controversy by deceptively editing a video, is likely to see his favor in mainstream media decline significantly after this debacle.

1. Doesn't matter, ABC, you've invited Breitbart to participate in an ABC event. You
can't undo it and I hope you pay for this.

I wonder whose bright idea that was, anyway. :eyes:
