NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - now with a chapter on the "Weinergate" scandal "Brash, funny, fiery, and irreverent." - Rush Limbaugh Known for his network of conservative websites that draws millions of readers everyday, Andrew Breitbart has one main goal: to make sure the "liberally biased" major news outlets in this country cover all aspects of a story fairly. Breitbart is convinced that too many national stories are slanted by the news media in an unfair way. In RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION, Breitbart talks about how one needs to deal with the liberal news world head on. Along the way, he details his early years, working with Matt Drudge, the Huffington Post, and how Breitbart developed his unique style of launching key websites to help get the word out to conservatives all over. A rollicking and controversial read, Breitbart will certainly raise your blood pressure, one way or another.

The book is written with the arrogant tone of a man that believes he's figured out the US media system, exploited it, and wants to bask in tales of his success. If you can get past the egotistical tone and the right-leaning one-sidedness of this book, Breitbart's perspective on how the media works is tremendously insightful, at times frightening, as he utilized a number of morally reprehensible, manipulative tactics.
Stand out chapters for me: Chapter 5 on the Bush era, and chapter 6 on Marxism and Alinsky's 13 rules for radicals.
Overall the book does a great job of explaining the tactics that the far-right media (and to some extent Trump) are currently employing.
