At some point during the week leading up to the last Superbowl, I gave Breitbart one of my little-used email addresses in an unsuccessful bid to sneak a pro-kneeler message onto their homepage.

None of the "liberal" media outlets I subscribe to have ever directly hawked scams to me like this before. I wonder why that is...
