After Breitbart's BigJournalism.com website reported that Breitbart would be bringing analysis live from Arizona" for ABC, Media Matters confirmed is participation in a town hall meeting anchored by ABC's David Muir and acebook's Randi Zuckerberg that will be featured in the network's coverage. Asked about Breitbart's history of unethical behavior and misinformation, BC News' David Ford told Media Matters: "He will be one of many voices on ur air, including Bill Adair of Politifact. If Andrew Breitbart says omething that is incorrect, we have other voices to call him on it." Media figures and outlets from across the board rejected Breitbart's ace-baiting lies after he smeared former USDA official Shirley Sherrod as a racist," using as "proof" a heavily edited video of comments she made uring a March NAACP event that he posted on his site BigGovernment.com. ABC's Terry Moran subsequently reported that "Breitbart had released only a lip of her speech, which distorted her real meaning, that she was wrong and ad learned from her error," while Donna Brazile said that Breitbart "should pologize" to Sherrod. Both Brazile and Moran will also be featured during BC's election night coverage. Breitbart has repeatedly appeared on ABC to explain his false smears. In a uly appearance on Good Morning America, George Stephanopoulos called out reitbart for pushing claims about Sherrod that are "clearly not true." uring Breitbart's joint interview with James O'Keefe on the June 1 edition f Good Morning America, Stephanopoulos revealed a clip that had been xcluded from an O'Keefe video posted on Breitbart's website of New Jersey ensus supervisors that undermined O'Keefe's contention.
