No one deserves abuse for reporting but honestly who cares if Ben Shapiro quits Breitbart?
Itâs like theyâve just realized they work at Breitbart.
Virgin Ben will find some other horrible venue, though it is funny to see him hand-wringing over Breitbartâs moral failures, given that the Breitbart brand was built on moral failure alone.
Breitbart tweeted âBen Shapiro betrays loyal readers, listiclesâ briefly before deleting for that extra touch of class.
Garnering sympathy for Breitbart [so called] News is going to be tough.
âAfter Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields was beaten up âŚâ
See a classic propaganda technique in action, as the opening sentence of a piece ⌠as if one could just wish away clear videos that show negligible contact between Ms. Fields and the Evil Henchman.
The world of conservative news, whether itâs Fox or Limbaugh or WND or Breitbart, has always been to promote an agenda, which means ignoring facts when it suits the intended goal (and a lot of their time is spent trying to find evidence that other media sources have a liberal bias, to justify their own conservative bias.) Currently the intended goal is winning the Presidency for the GOP, which means anyone not on board gets thrown overboard.
If Trump werenât so far ahead in the polls, and winning the White House wasnât so important to the GOP, then Breitbart would be calling Trump a RINO (other Republicanâs have been called RINO over far less.)
I get a kick out of how he called Breitbart âTrumpâs personal Pravdaâ-- when it was the GOPâs Pravda it was OK, when itâs Trumpâs Pravda, thatâs going too far.
Just what will it take for our media to demonstrate solidarity with workers and support for protecting their rights?
Oh yeah, that will be it.
Wait, Breitbartâs mission is to support women and fight against their oppression?
One learns something new every day.

We know itâs a lie. Do you know itâs a lie, or are you being fooled?
One of those two is more easily forgiven.
âBetraying (he-who-shall-not-be-namedâs) mission.â?!
To smear, discredit and misrepresent to forward a radical right-wing agenda?
Sounds right on target to me.
Eager to be first in line for scraps from Trumpâs imperial table, eh?
Breitbart, for one, welcomes our new classy overlord.
Currently the intended goal is winning the Presidency for the GOP, which means anyone not on board gets thrown overboard.
I know Iâm not an android because my head didnât just explode
So who are we supposed to believe, a news organization whose business model is bending facts to suit their politics, or two people who worked for that organization, presumably bending facts to suit their politics?
Yea, âbeaten upâ is ridiculous, but so is âminimal contact.â Grabbing her like that was highly inappropriate, but maybe it would be good to save words like âbeaten upâ for people who are actually beaten up, of whom there is no shortage.
Also, your video editing skills could use some work. Just saying.
I like trainwrecks that donât hurt a single good person.
Apparently they âunpublishedâ this?
People have noted that they put a picture of the Jewish Shapiro in a gold star, too.
And these Slack screenshots telling Breitbart employees to stop defending Fields a few days ago are kinda amusing.
Oh, nice quote:
Breitbart California editor Joel B. Pollak, Shapiroâs friend and fellow
Orthodox Jew, expressed concern for his former colleague.
The story was replaced with an extremely terse retraction and apology from Joel Pollack.
Itâs sort of âfunnyâ, because the comment section on that one flip-flops between accusing Democrats of falsely accusing conservatives of being racists, to flat out open anti-semitism.
Breitbart as a whole is sad. I get the impression itâs a collection of /b/tards, other similar trollies, and angry retirees. Lately, theyâre taking turns throwing each other under the bus for either supporting Trump, or not supporting Trump.
