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."

It doesn’t matter. They got out of the echo chamber Breitbart is becoming, and because Breitbart has been increasingly glaringly pro-trump, they will be excoriated for their defection. Failure to genuflect at the shrine of St. Donald of Manhattan is a hanging offense, dontcha know.
“Criminal charges to be filed against Fields for filling a false report.”
I hope to see that. Plus I hope Corey is able to file against Field’s lies.
Fox News
Just heard the one guy who quit on Fox news. What a bunch of horse manure.
I really would like a complete factual analysis, not a He said, She said syndrome response.
Correct, because the cesspool which is Brietbart’s management, is completely sold out to Trump.
They are supposed to be journalists, and instead the management sides with Trump in the literal attack of one of its own reporters by someone on the Trump staff.
This was not some he said/she said situation. There is video evidence, her own testimony, and the testimony of an eyewitness.
Anyone defending Trump in this situation is dishonest and just showing how much of a sell out they really are.
Andrew Brietbart would be ashamed his name is being soiled by the current management staff headed by Steve Bannon.
Pretty sad, isn't it? You expect this garbage from leftists.....but it's weird coming from "Conservatives".
The scam failed & liars were exposed. Now there are sympathetic resignations.
What is hilarious are people quitting because “as recent events have proven Breitbart has become Trump propaganda”, an excuse as phony as a three dollar bill. Recent events have proven that Breitbart reporters were lying.
Has anyone else gotten the impression that Breitbart has a great big target on its back? National Review threw itself under the bus, but Breitbart has so far managed to avoid doing that. There's a power struggle going on. Should be familiar to anyone who's spent any time on FR during the past eight months.
Call the Waaaaaaaaaaaa-mbulance
Exactly. So many on the conservative side are becoming like the left...your legit as long as your doing my bidding.
I wonder if all these people who are so critical of Breitbart for being pro-Trump (though they are many who are pro-Cruz which is great as well) are as critical of some sites who are obviously virulently anti-Trump on the “right”/
This is like the MSM who try to delegitimize those who support conservatives, etc.
Correct!!
In other words the ones that quit were totally in the tank for Cruz even going so far as to make up a false story about being assaulted by members of Trump’s campaign. They can’t stand that Breitbart saw through their chicanery.
Never heard of these people. Good. I think Andrew would kick em in the butt on the way out.
Doubt it. They can’t be conservatives if they are resigning over a lie. Fields flat out lied. It’s now clearly on video. These little twerps hate Trump so much they’d go down with a lie rather than stand on the truth.
Correct, because the cesspool which is Brietbart’s management, is completely sold out to Trump.
That “cesspool” had at least 6 articles on this Trump bashing nothing burger last week.
Maybe they can work with Fields at Hooters.
Because there are no anti-Trump echo chambers who excoriate those who don’t excoriate Trump, correct?
