Oops. I only clicked on this because I thought the headline said: “Free Bacon”

Derp.
I sympathize with Breitbart. I still confuse Loretta Lynch and Loretta Lynn.

It´s always newsworthy when an institution so assiduously devoted to journalistic scruples makes a fundamental error such as this.

No, Breitbart read, “bacon” and went from there.

Does it matter? Anyone who reads Breitbart doesn’t care what they say. They see what they want to see. What is actually written is irrelevant.

Yeah that happens to me, too. I keep confusing different people named Breitbart. I try to keep them straight by remembering one of them is dead.
Interesting. And I always confuse the National Enquirer with Breitbart.
Details, details.
Apology? The Free Beacon guy should feel good that he was confused with a real journalist.
This is surprising. They are usually so on top of their game when it comes to journalism and accuracy and ethics.

Free Bacon? Where?!
LOL. Being a huge Loretta Lynn fan, myself, I can usually tell the difference. That said, I like Loretta Lynch as well – I think history will show her to have been a good pick for her AG.
