Michelle Fields, Ben Shapiro Resign From Breitbart
Buzzfeed ^ | 3/14/16 | Rosie Gray

Posted on 03/14/2016 4:56:54 AM PDT by gore_sux

“Today I informed the management at Breitbart News of my immediate resignation,” the reporter at the center of the controversy at the conservative site told BuzzFeed News, the week after Trump’s campaign manager allegedly grabbed her.

Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields and editor-at-large Ben Shapiro are resigning from the company over the site’s handling of Donald Trump’s campaign manager’s alleged assault on Fields, BuzzFeed News has learned. Fields and Shapiro informed Breitbart News chairman Steve Bannon of their decision Sunday night.

“Today I informed the management at Breitbart News of my immediate resignation,” Fields said in a statement sent to BuzzFeed News. “I do not believe Breitbart News has adequately stood by me during the events of the past week and because of that I believe it is now best for us to part ways.”

In his own statement, Shapiro said the episode was emblematic of how he believes the site’s management had sold out the legacy of its founder and namesake, the late Andrew Breitbart.

This will be my last post for a while. Drudge, Free Republic, and Breitbart have been deleted from my bookmarks because they have all thrown aside conservative principles in favor of supporting a disgusting LIBERAL.

Play some golf now that yo have more time. It's almost time for umbrella drinks at the country club. You can manage your Mexican employees better also.

usually when people say “JOOOOOOS” it is done to mock anti-Semites who see Jewish people behind every conspiracy.

However in your case it looks like it’s just that you just hate Jews. Refreshing candor.

You should go. Plenty of media that will spin the news the way you like out there. Go and embrace it.

Breitbart is ‘conservative’. Is Michelle Fields a liberal PLANT in their group?

Take your anti-Semitism over to David Duke’s website. It sullies FR.

The Republican congress can always impeach him once he’s in office. There will be a few Democrats that will go along.

At this point I can only assume that there are people who bought into Heidi’s pleas for $5, $10, $20... they made an investment in Cruz and now that his mask is off, they are upset. It’s hard to admit when you’ve been had, kind of like when someone buys an expensive new car and continues to sing its praises well beyond the point of discovering that it’s a lemon.

They’ll be justifying their purchase from here to eternity, because that’s just how they cope.
