?Andrew passed away unexpectedly from natural causes shortly after midnight this morning in Los Angeles,? writes Big Journalism writer Larry Solov. ?We have lost a husband, a father, a son, a brother, a dear friend, a patriot and a happy warrior.?


Breitbart.com editor-in-chief Joel Pollak confirmed to POLITICO on Thursday morning that Breitbart had passed away.

  • Waiting to see if this is yet another of his lies and manipulations. Calling him a journalist is a stretch, at best.

  • I feel like lately I have been surrounded by too many stories of people dying way too prematurely, both in the news and in my personal life.  This is just so sad.  Regardless of whether or not you agreed with his politics, it was a young life cut way too short and is such a sad thing for his loved ones.  I understand he was a father of four.  How horrible.  Sad

    It's so sad for Mr. Breitbart's family.

    That seems likely.  Or maybe a heart attack?

    I am very sorry for his family and friends, but also not sad that there is now one less voice spreading hatred, fear and lies in this world.

    Didn't know he was married to Orson Bean's daughter.

    WTF?  It is only Thursday, right?  Because a DJ on the radio also just commented about what a grey Saturday morning it is.  Since I'm  unemployed, it's easy to lose track of days and dates but I think I'm right this time!

    I just saw Breitbart on television Tuesday night so I guess it WAS unexpected.  I remember thinking he didn't look so good, to be honest.

    Yeah, I cant pretend to be sad either. That probably makes me a bad person, but there it is.
