    Citation? Or just more salacious gossip?
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

      You need keep up CP, Milo was fired a long time ago. I'm sure everyone else is aware of it, even if your not.

        You have a track record of perverting the truth, Jimmy. I don't trust your account of it. I'd like to see for myself how it was stated, instead of your Jimmied-up version.

        So, citation, please?

          Perhaps because they see the charges as not credible and unverifiable?

          "Hypocrite" appears to be one of those words which you figure must be bad because your ideological opponents use it to describe you, so you use it of your ideological opponents in an attempt to put them on the defensive whether or not there's an iota of relevance to the charge.

            OK, yes, Milo said some questionable things, and he's no longer working for Breitbart because of it. I'm not sure how that fulfills my request to provide an "example of Breitbart engaging in CNN-style inventions and factual errors".

            As for these Moore accusations, there is, so far, no evidence to support them. Declaring someone guilty based on uncorroborated accusations is a liberal thing.

              So, he got fired for saying questionable things, and that somehow makes Breitbart less reliable because the guy got fired? That doesn't seem to bolster Jimmy's case at all.

                Now that I've refreshed my memory about what he actually said, calling his statements merely "questionable" might overly soften it:

                So he pretty much went off the deep-end and immediately resigned from Breitbart, and if he hadn't resigned then he would have been fired, so it wasn't like he had a choice. And you're right that it doesn't bolster Jimmy's case in the slightest.

                  Thanks. Just the way Jimmy frames things sometimes without links or quotes suggests his willful embellishment or distortion of the truth.

                  • I edited my post to point out Milo, in fact, resigned from Breitbart but that his head was on the chopping block already, and the axe was coming down, so it wasn't like he had a choice.

                      So, the original snarky comment from Jimmy that started all this was wrong from the start?

                      Milo resigned? So, Jimmy wasn't aware of what he was accusing me of not being aware of....

                      I really don't pay much attention to Breitbart, so.... yeah, I was unaware.

                        I have to wonder if when they feel secure they will reach out to NAMBLA and try to mend fences over their past betrayal and help them in attempting to obtain respectability as well. I suspect that a good number of their supporters would not be happy with such a move though.

                          CNN is a reputable news source that attempts to present balanced reporting and commentary.

                          OTOH "Since its inception, the aim of Breitbart News has been to taint liberals and the left with the stench of scandal, by any means necessary. Most often, the favored means involves manufacturing scandal, sometimes through innuendo and misconstruance, and most effectively through the posting of misleadingly edited video".
