Two more staffers resign from Breitbart
Politico ^ | 03/14/16 | HADAS GOLD

Posted on 03/14/2016 12:19:29 PM PDT by Nickname

Two more staffers for Breitbart have resigned from the company, citing the website's pro-Donald Trump stance.

National security correspondent Jordan Schachtel and associate editor Jarrett Stepman sent their resignations to management on Monday afternoon.

"The company no longer resembles the ideals that inspired me to start writing for them three years ago. Some of us have been fighting behind the scenes against the party-line Trump propaganda for some time, but without any success, unfortunately," Schachtel said in a statement. "Breitbart News is no longer a journalistic enterprise, but instead, in my opinion, something resembling an unaffiliated media Super PAC for the Trump campaign. I signed my contract to work as a journalist, not as a member of the Donald J. Trump for President media network. As recent events have proven, there is no longer a point in trying to reform the company from within, so I must step aside with my dignity intact. I wish everyone at Breitbart the best, and hope the site can redeem the legacy of its founder under much-needed new management."

There is video evidence, her own testimony, and the testimony of an eyewitness.

You apparently have watched none of the video evidence or you couldn't possibly believe what you just said. Her testimony said she was attacked with Fists, Feet and Teeth, show me the video of that.

She never claimed she was knocked to the ground. She said Lewandowski grabbed her. The videos are inconclusive on that point.

She filed a complaint and we’ll see what comes out of it.

I’m old enough to know people who jump to conclusions without having all the facts can look foolish. That’said why I’m remaining neutral on the matter.

Second, there is no video that clearly shows the reporter was lying. I've watched them all and none of them are conclusive either way. But there were eye witnesses and the parties will have their day in court.

Second, there is no video that clearly shows the reporter was telling the truth either.

I never said she did.

No video shows any assault.

Well believe me you’re not unique, there are hundreds of thousands of progressives who inspiye of 100 Years of Marxism’s failures still think it’l work. Proof we don’t need no stinking proof. Innocent until proven guilty another principle that Cruisers don’t seem to honor.

Trump supporters who signed up on FR less than a year ago and can't spell are calling me a Marxist? Personal attack is all you got? You've got no game, Dude!

"With the Globalist Oligarch Party, I am guaranteed my job, invites to all the important Washington Cocktail Parties, and no one else in media will say bad things about me (like call me racist or homophobe, which really hurts my feelings). As long as I follow the Establishment memes in my writing, which I do.

(As part of the GOVERNMENT CONTROLLED MEDIA, all I have to do is write stuff like this: "Michelle Fields was personally shoved to the ground by Donald Trump while he was wearing a Nazi uniform, and a bunch of Hitler Youth in brown shirts came and kicked me while on the ground for twenty minutes while Trumpsters just looked on and did nothing." Easy peasy.)

"I am risking all of this by any suggestion of being associated with any articles that are not hating on Trump, and I also should do all in my power to keep Trump out of the White House. Because if he gets in, I am just another citizen, part of the commoners the riffraff, and The Government/Media/Crony Capitalist/Educrat Class is gone! I will probably have to move out of my gated community and my lobbyist perks I get will be gone! So I must leave Breitbart and hopefully get on with Fox or Salon.com.

"Signed, resigning Breitbart employee"

and got a big kick out of Bob Dornan...

That was B1 Bomber Bob Dornan. Your experience resembles mine but I haven't totally given up on Rush yet but he is definitely opened up his attack game in the last week or two.

I had a e meter dish back in the day and they were expensive but was the only way I could get C-Span.

Do you remember the night that Tip went down and turned the camera around to show the Gallery was empty?

That is a flat out lie.

She never said anything about fists, feet, and teeth.

Yes, you LIED... it makes YOU a liar...

But shouldn’t that be expected from someone who buys into and supports the biggest lying candidate to ever run for President... Donald J. Trump...?

He makes Clinton (either) look like an honest person with the level of lies he perpetrates on a daily basis.

I’d like some of what you’re smoking. Nothing happened. The twit lied, got caught, and quit before she was fired.

Career politician Ted Cruz left conservatives. We didn’t leave him. Campaigning for Barack Obama’s TPA, running an unprincipled campaign, hiring Neil Bush, etc., etc.

You are really ignorant. Outside MY “for or against” world? That’s exactly what the author was preaching.

I see the hypocrisy. It’s you who can’t see it. But, being an Okie I can understand.

Don’t try to get into an insult battle with me. You are unarmed.

"Who will hire supposed reporters that knowingly go along with a fake story that they are a part of?"

Don't call these people reporters. There is a huge difference between a reporter and a journalist.

A reporter gathers the facts of an event, the who, what, when, where, why and how of it. Then presents it to the consumer for the consumer to decide what it means. Sort of like a good scout for an army.

A journalist on the other hand is the star of the story. It's all about them. The story is preconceived and facts are forced to fit it.

Okay, you win. And you’ve done your job and voted for Cruz in Oklahoma so you can claim victory.

And you’ve also won the insult battle. Good night.

What does “Okie” mean in your name? You can’t even see your own name and you say I’m blind?

By the way, I told you, you win! Now go home to mama.

What does “Okie” mean in your name?

When I joined FR I was publishing my first book which contains a system designed to displace the environmental regulatory racket with a true free market in environmental services. I saw property owners (of which "Okies" are archetypal) as key to the success of that market, saw them as unjustly maligned, and wanted to bring them out of the shadows and 'sing their song' for them. Hence the pun on "karaoke."

By the way, I told you, you win!

Yes, but you still haven't learned.

Now go home to mama.

Mama died twenty years ago.
