i will say that i don't see a real correlation between what andrew breitbart did for a living and what michael hastings did for a living. obviously the reporting on the progressive or the left side certainly has things about it that are worthy of criticism, that are sometimes ponderous, sometimes humorless and sometimes overly focused on the misdeeds of the right. but the key difference i see between somebody like michael hastings and somebody like andrew breitbart. you would never see michael putting something out there he didn't know to be true. and i don't think that is true on the other side. there is an emphasis on message over accuracy with guys like him that i think is regrettable. >> what led to you writing -- calling him the death of a douche, what was the reason? >> among other things, he had intercepted a bunch of my private e-mails and turned them over to the f.b.i. shortly before that. this was during the occupy protest and he was i guess trying to start up some kind of criminal investigation into the activities of myself and a bunch of my friends who we were just chatting
