Bitterness and personal recriminations are splitting the Breitbart organization. Michelle Fields and Ben Shapiro resigned last night in the wake of their dissatisfaction over the handling of Fields’s allegation against Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski. The details of the incident remain obscure, and are under police investigation, but one fact is clear: one of the most effective conservative media outlets, the organization legacy of Andrew Breitbart, has been riven by disputes arising from the Trump candidacy.

 

Fields’s statement was short and to the point:

 

Today I informed the management at Breitbart News of my immediate resignation. 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.Scissors-32x32.png

I have thought many times over the last few months,

when I have seen such awful articles on Brietbart, that

Andrew would NOT be proud.

Ben Shapiro, Michelle Fields Resign from Breitbart News: "Andrew’s Life Mission Has Been Betrayed"

 

Breitbart Editor-at-Large Ben Shapiro and Political Reporter Michelle Fields have resigned from their positions after the company refused to take a solid stance defending Fields against Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski.

"Today I informed the management at Breitbart News of my immediate resignation. 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," Fields released in a statement to Buzzfeed.

In his resignation statement Shapiro, who was trained by the late-Andrew Breitbart, attributed a toxic, pro-Trump environment to Chairman Steven Bannon. Scissors-32x32.png

I still have a headache from the un advisable look at the comments on FB about the Milwaukee County Sheriff chastising the protesters in Chicago. I guess there is not a language filter thereohmy.pngrolleyes.gif

Breitbart ‘accidentally’ releases INSANE article MOCKING Fields, Shapiro for their ‘BETRAYAL’!
Mar. 14 2016

a
Last night Michelle Fields and Ben Shapiro announced that they were leaving Breitbart News, and today the site seems to have accidentally released an unbelievable article mocking the pair.

Here’s a screenshot of the story:

Breitbart’s editor Joel Pollak released this statement about the story they’ve since taken down:

 

 

 

The article was written by me as part of an effort to make light of a significant company event, and was published as a result of a misunderstanding without going through the normal editorial channels.

 

I apologize to Michelle Fields, my friend Ben Shapiro, and to everyone concerned.

Breitbart editor admits he was wrong about Trump campaign manager leaving bruises on reporter

 

The Breitbart editor who cast doubt on his former reporter's accusations of battery against Donald Trump's campaign manager has relented, admitting he was wrong.
