Even posthumously, Andrew Breitbart appears to have made reckless claims. And his Breitbart empire repeated them.<\/p>\n
There was nothing new in that Obama 1990 clip made public this past week by the Breitbart empire. <\/p>\n
PBS Frontline reports<\/a>:<\/p>\n But there\u2019s nothing new about the clip or Obama\u2019s role in the controversy at Harvard Law School. In 2008, as a part of our quadrennial election special The Choice 2008, FRONTLINE ran the same footage of the speech as a part of an exploration of Obama\u2019s time at Harvard Law School, where he graduated in 1991. It\u2019s been online at our site and on YouTube since then. You can see that part of the film below.<\/p>\n FRONTLINE producers obtained the footage from the same source as BuzzFeed did this week: the archives of WGBH, Boston\u2019s PBS station. The footage was shot in 1990 by a team of local news producers for the WGBH Ten O\u2019Clock News. FRONTLINE is produced at WGBH and our producers were alerted to the footage in the station archives in 2008.<\/p>\n In light of today\u2019s controversy, and Breitbart.com editors\u2019 claims that the footage had been edited, we pulled the full archived tape. It includes not just Obama\u2019s speech, but other footage from the rally and portions of Derrick Bell\u2019s speech. You can watch it in full below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Even posthumously, Andrew Breitbart appears to have made reckless claims. And his Breitbart empire repeated them.
