I can't defend all of Breitbart's actions, but he did commit some acts of serious original journalism. A recent New York Times expose on $4 billion in waste in the Department of Agriculture due to fraudulent civil rights claims was based on original reporting on Breitbart.com[1]. By itself the traditional media doesn't report on these kinds of stories because they are afraid of being called racist.
