On Tuesday, Andrew Breitbart, friend to many here at TWS, launches “Big Hollywood,” a website of culture and politics which has “changing Hollywood” as its modest goal. Breitbart, who helped establish the Drudge Report and the Huffington Post, has discarded more good ideas than most of us have had. (One idea that does not fall into that category was his plan for huskymalemodels.com, a website featuring photos of men whose high-school-era good looks had been compromised by a steady diet of beer and wing in the years since. While there would have been no shortage of “models,” I’m not sure that one would have generated much traffic). With Big Hollywood he hopes to engage conservatives and libertarians in the bi-coastal ideas war he has been fighting for years. As Breitbart puts it: “Until conservatives, libertarians and Republicans – who will be the lion’s share of Big Hollywood’s contributors – recognize that (pop) culture is the big prize and that politics is secondary, there will be no victory in this important battle.” Breitbart lifts the veil on the project in his column today over at The Washington Times. Starting tomorrow, you can access the site here.
