It turns out Denver-based media personality David Sirota’s new gig, announced amid some fanfare last month, won’t happen. Evidently, the venture he was about to join doesn’t have enough cash.

To live in the universe of Breitbart News is to live in a universe of perpetual fear and agitation. “Suspected illegal immigrant allegedly carjacks elderly woman,” one headline on the hyper-conservative, verging-on-nationalist site read Thursday morning. “Fire Department ordered removal of U.S. flags from fire trucks,” blared another. “The ObamaCare Bomb: Plan 9 from Collectivist…
