[VANITY] Breitbart's Michelle Fields and Three Others Resign Over Trump Incident
NBC ^ | 3/14/2016 | NBC

Posted on 03/14/2016 2:43:52 AM PDT by AnthonySoprano

My title. Fields told FOX she was "Violated" by the Trump camp

"This is disgusting," Shapiro said. "No news outlet would stand for it."

Breitbart News has not commented on the resignations.

The Fields incident came a week after a Time magazine photographer was thrown to the floor by a Secret Service agent at another Trump rally and amid escalating concerns over the rhetoric used by the Republican frontrunner.

Trump has come under mounting criticism — from Democrats and from Republican rivals — for failing to fully denounce violent incidents at his events and for creating a climate where such incidents can persist.

Those issues were amplified in recent days after video emerged of a man at a Trump rally sucker-punching a protester leaving an event in North Carolina and fights broke out at a cancelled event in Chicago.

Trump himself has said he would like to punch a protester in the face and see another taken out on a stretcher.

Because they are weaving a narrative here.

Wish I could see the angle showing her grabbed and thrown to the ground. I have never seen that IN MANY videos and other reporters claim they did not see it either.

Based on all the video of the “incident” I have seen, it did not happen. I if it did happen, reporters would have been all over it since it is their most current slogan: Trump supporters are violent and racist.

Never any concerns about rhetoric used by the Obiminator, "bring a gun to a knife fight".

This incident highlights Trump’s main thesis about the media being the most dishonest bunch of slim balls he has ever known. It is high visibility validation in the extreme. A poster story that shows how the media conspires each day to choreograph a unified narrative to try and shape public opinion. It used to be much easier before the Internet and cell phone cameras came along. Now, they get caught wallowing together in their pigsty.

You could read their statements and find out.

That might be enlightening instead of speculating about it...

I’m not aware of anyone claiming she was thrown to the ground.

You are mixing up two different incidents.

Trump Campaign Manager Allegedly Tries to Throw Female Reporter to the Ground
http://www.mediaite.com/election-2016/trump-campaign-manager-allegedly-tries-to-throw-female-reporter-to-the-ground/

“Trump acknowledged the question, but before he could answer I was jolted backwards. Someone had grabbed me tightly by the arm and yanked me down. I almost fell to the ground, but was able to maintain my balance. Nonetheless, I was shaken.”

Because they were chasing a unicorn that BB couldn’t pretend was true anymore. This way they can criticize rather than accept earned humiliation.

was thrown to the floor by a Secret Service agent

From the Gerald Ford SNL years, the correct phrase was "An astute Secret Service agent wrestled the photographer to the floor."

Thanks AnthonySoprano. Fields and Shapiro resigned at Breitbart (I'll take a stab at it, and guess that they were given the undeserved courtesy of being allowed to resign, otherwise be fired).

No, he isn’t driving his statements based on emotion and reaction unlike some here. He as with others are awaiting all evidence to come in prior to being judge jury and executioner. Yours and many others knee jerk reaction and immediate acquittal of other based on a very small sliver in time is par for the course. It isn’t surprising since our culture now is built upon 15 second attention spans (I.e. Twitter trash, Facebook fanaticism, YouTube starlets.

The latest evidence is new and fresh. Quite honestly you and many others may very well be right that this is a hoax. However would you want all information to come in that reaches that conclusion or opposing evidence be presented making you and others foolish? Also, I’m not getting the Cruz monikers. Calling someone a Cruzbot or Cruzer is no different than a liberal democrat calling a tea party patriot a tea bagger. It is demeaning and quite honestly a lazy attempt to discredit someone based on association.

In fact, the Police report shows that she represented to Police that:

"Feet, Fists, and Teeth" were the weapons used against her in the attack.

Whenever you disagree with Marxists they blame you of hate speech and violence. They do it to every candidate and did it to the Tea Party. Of course BLM and their thugs are not violent just Conservatives.

It is common for the media to be over-zealous and for the Secret Service to throw them to the ground...and worse. Most media just accept it as part of the game. On rare occasions a media member makes and issue of it. eg in Chicago appearance of Bill Clinton.
