  Columnist Susan Estrich: In the wake of conservative activist, author and publisher Andrew Breitbarts death, the news media reported on the sharp division of opinion reflected on Twitter and other social media outlets. Half and half. Half what you might expect when someone dies at 43 leaving a wife and four children under 13. The other half as nasty as Breitbart himself was when Ted Kennedy passed away. What has become of us?
