Bob Unruh: We Won't Probe Eligibility

A new editor for Breitbart.com, reorganized quickly after the sudden death March 1 of founder and conservative activist Andrew Breitbart, says the issue of Barack Obama's eligibility simply doesn't matter. "To my knowledge, there's no evidence, I just don't believe it,"Ben Shapiro, newly named editor-at-large for Breitbart.com, told Mark Gillar during an interview on his BlogTalkRadio program. It was Breitbart who told the Conservative Political Action Conference shortly before his sudden death that he had obtained videos and other information about Obama's past. Breitbart said he intended to vet the incumbent president before the 2012 election, because the media didn't do it in 2008. His organization, which had been on the Internet under the Big Government, Big Hollywood and other names, was in a reorganization at the time Breitbart died, and the new consolidated Breitbart.com site was released only days later. Shapiro, author of the bestselling "Brainwashed" as well as "Primetime Propaganda," was named editor-at-large as responsibilities were reassigned. Breitbart.com also announced Stephen K Bannon was named executive chairman and Laurence G Solov president. Solov confirmed he shared Breitbart's vision and promised the "company will pursue it relentlessly."Joel B. Pollak was appointed editor-in-chief, and Alex Marlow was named managing editor.
