Trouble In Paradise: Michelle Fields And Ben Shapiro Resign From Breitbart

[Archae]

Source: Crooks and Liars

When Ben Shapiro decides he can't work for Breitbart, you know it has to be bad. After they failed to stand up for their reporter in a principled way and chose instead to gaslight her, I figured she'd resign. But Shapiro? That was a surprise.

Looks like "Breitbart" is falling apart.

Not that they were ever credible in the first place, mind you...

1. LOL @ the notion that they're taking any kind of "principled" stand after working

for a totally corrupt organization for years.

They're just angry that their friend got thrown under the bus, and they realize that it could happen to them too.

2. They just threw that young woman under the bus

Shapiro is a Cruz supporter and he may have viewed this as is opportunity to get off the Titanic.

3. It's a good thing that won't happen here

No one here would ever be thrown under the bus for supporting a particular Democratic candidate. We all stand up for each other in a principled way even if the other person prefers a different Democrat than we do. That's what gives us the credibility that Breitbart lacks.

4. Wow - 7 posts, and at least 4 have been criticising DU about candidate support

Have you done anything constructive on DU? Or supported anyone at all?

Yes, we do have far more credibility than Breitbart. If you can't see that, you're blind - willfully or otherwise.

5. Troll alert!

Possibly from some Republican internet bank paid to upset the Dem apple cart.

8. It's always amazing when a brand-new newbie understand DU's entire culture

Where would we be without these enlightened contributors?

I look forward to many years of positive input and commentary from you.

6. A new video has emerged that indicates they were both lying or at least exaggerating what happened.

7. RepubliSinners sort themselves out.

Rotten types to the basement. Evil rotten types to the subbasement.

9. Breitbart is a zombie organization kept alive by republicon deep pockets. Cut out the

money and Breitbart will dry up and blow away, dust-to-dust style just as it should.

[uhnope]

10. yep & RWers predictably start tearing each other apart when the ship goes down

not to mix metaphors

11. I hope that craphole of a "news" organization goes the way of its name sake...

..and rots and dies.

12. Michelle Fields was fucked by her disgusting employer.

Shapiro agreed with that obvious fact.

Hard to support Shapiro - he held a high-level position with professional liars - but in this case his career goals coincided with doing the right thing, supporting a female victim of violence. Kudos, I suppose. Whatever. Truth nevertheless.
