See Breitbart’s Sarcastic, Promptly Deleted Response to Ben Shapiro’s Resignation
Mediaite ^ | March 14, 2016 | J.D. Durkin

Oops.

In the early morning hours on Monday, Breitbart published a scathing takedown of their now-former editor-at-large Ben Shapiro after he announced his resignation from the conservative media company this weekend. The piece with the headline “BEN SHAPIRO BETRAYS LOYAL BREITBART READERS IN PURSUIT OF FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTORSHIP” has since been deleted; but of course, nothing on the internet ever really gets deleted, so you can read the sarcastic company reply here for yourself.

The lede reads, “Former Breitbart News editor-at-large Ben Shapiro announced Sunday evening via left-wing Buzzfeed that he is abandoning Andrew Breitbart’s lifelong best friend, widow, hand-picked management team and friends in pursuit of an elusive contributorship at the Fox News Channel.” First shot, fired.

The piece, written by William Bigelow, sarcastically continued, “It was business as usual for the ambitious conservative gadfly, who is known to live on the edge, courting and then leaving a series of companies over the past several years.”

Breitbart then lobbed a few potshots at Buzzfeed directly, bitingly writing:

“Buzzfeed, a site that has been aiming to destroy Breitbart News since the moment Andrew Breitbart died, and which has predicted the demise of Breitbart.com for the past four years, rewarded Shapiro for his bravery by placing news of his resignation just beneath several other hot stories, including “This Wee Little Snake Taking Its First Breath Will Cure Anyone’s Fears,” and “2/26: How Two Llamas And A Dress Gave Us The Internet’s Greatest Day.”

I’ve seen both pro Cruz and Trump on the site and also with the callers on Bannon’s morning program.

People are just angry because they do post positive articles about Trump. Drudge and Breitbart are the ONLY ones that I have seen that do that.

Other media is going after Breitbart because of it.

Totally unprofessional handling of this situation, they are imploding.

Yes, the professional thing for Breitbart to do would have been to promote Fields and her anti-Trump allies after she fabricated the assault and filed a false police report. Lol.

Your welcome

I try to be consistent

When I’m wrong I admit it

Still married after 20 plus years

Last nite I thought my wife had forgotten to pay one of my traffic tickets I got out of state

She protested I had not given it to her as promised

We argued a bit

Our middle son goes to truck and brings it back in and hands it to me.....sorry dad you’re wrong

I’m like damn and mustered my most humble apology

She was to her credit sympathetic seeing the usually cocky head of household felled by a show of humility

She felt sorry for me and showered me heartfelt affection

This is marriage

You have to learn to admit when you’re wrong and I’ve done so with two ladies in 24 hours

A smart man realizes these things
