The sheer brilliance of all of this that Breitbart has overseen is the slowness of it...drip, drip, drip.

It creates a presence that the “main stream” media cannot ignore. If it was a one day story, they could have ignored it while focusing on something else. But this constant drumbeat last longer and attracts more attention to the point that they are forced into covering it. I hope they have a lot more where all of this came from.

And since everyone else is putting out mind-scarring guesses for the blockbuster: Think Barack Obama, Keith Olbermann, Helen Thomas, a few bottles of Wild Turkey and the Lincoln bedroom.

He's also trying to sucker them into saying something stupid or contradictory.

If they say something after the first video without knowing there was a second video to come, then they could be proven to be lying with the second video, such as how it was an isolated incident or a lone rogue employee.

But when the second video comes out corroborating the first video, and then a third and then a fourth, suddenly they don't know what to say for fear of a fifth and sixth video.

So, when they suddenly clam up or start hurling personal attacks instead of rebutting the charges, then they begin to look guilty, and now the mainstream institutions have no choice but to cover the story.

Yes. Control the rate at which the story is released, then sit back and let the left lay out a roadmap of additional scandals to investigate.
