Fact Checking Another Breitbart Lie: ‘No Cameras?’

Breitbart lies on Fox News

Last night Andrew Breitbart popped up (like a malignant jack-in-the-box) on Fox News, and told Greta van Susteren that he was assured there were no cameras in Opie and Anthony’s radio studio, when he pulled out his cell phone and showed everyone in the studio the picture of Rep. Anthony Weiner’s junk (while smirking and making jokes):

“I thought everything went great,” Breitbart said. “But during the interview, they asked me if they could see it (the penis photo). I said, ‘Well, make sure you don’t show it to anyone,’ and Jim Norton said, ‘There aren’t any cameras here.’ And so I felt very comfortable that nothing bad would happen with it and the next thing I know I found out that they surreptitiously recorded it and tweeted it on the internet and then subsequently said, admitted that they did so without my permission. And it’s very troubling because for an employee of Sirius/XM to say there are no cameras here and then you find out that there are cameras here and they’re going against their word in taping it, it’s deeply problematic.”

After making this statement, Breitbart’s pants caught fire. Because it’s a blatant, indisputable lie, as I showed last night — with this video, shot in Opie and Anthony’s studio by someone with a hand-held camera, standing about three feet away from Andrew Breitbart as he spoke, and then as he passed around his phone to everyone’s great amusement. I’ll post the video again, just so everyone can fully savor the stench of Breitbart’s shameless dishonesty:

Notice in the background: you can see someone unpacking another camera, even as Breitbart speaks. Also notice that he didn’t tell them (as he claimed), “Don’t show it to anyone.” He simply handed over the phone and let everyone pass it around.

Don’t miss the creepy voyeuristic leer as he says, “You wanna?”
