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."

These punks attempted to disrupt the Florida primary. And Rush was to be their big bull horn to trash Trump... Bunch of corrupt liars... They are NOT conservative, but liberal punks. I want Trump to sue them down to their last penny... all of them.

Every single BB reporter that lied about Trump should resign or be fired.

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

Except the NY Times or CBS.

Hopefully on the janitorial staff, cleaning toilets.

Criminal charges to be filed against Fields for filling a false report.

She was on Fox today with some anchor and Fox was still pushing the narrative that she was attacked by Lewandowski. Even with overwhelming proof she was not touched they insist on lying. Amazing.

Cruz vs. Trump is dividing the company. TheBlaze is 100% Cruz already, but has nowhere near the traffic of Breitbart

Hopefully everyone’s blinders are off as regards Fox.

Of course the very opposite is true. These anti-Trump zealots (by their own admission) are hoisted on their own petard and don't like the feeling. They made false claims, doubled down, and still got called on their deception. Bye.

Don't know if true or not, but that is one way stop this crap. And stories by "journalists" who backed her up will start to waiver and become less certain.

I devour Breitbart. Anyone that doesn’t think Cruz gets decent treatment there is high. If anyone listens to Breitbart Radio in the morning, its overwhelmingly pro-Cruz. The statement they released makes it seem quite the opposite of what they state. The resignees want Breitbart to be just like everyone else and report lies and distortions of what Trump does or doesn’t do. Like Shapiro and Fields. I think it’s terrible to lose a balance, but these folks, all four of them, are just full of it.

Nope. Fields is a serial liar who is all about the woman’s right to chose. Ben is a social climber looking for his next gig

Neither is a conservative

Rush today said that even if Trump wins all 5 states NC, Il, Fl, MO, OH the race is anything but over and Cruz can come roaring back. I wonder if Rush is all in for Cruz.

I agree. Andrew Breitbart is calling the angels down for a house cleaning.

“Any man worth his salt will stick up for what he believes right, but it takes a slightly better man to acknowledge instantly and without reservation that he is in error.”

-—Andrew Breitbart
