    Breitbart trying to convince its readers that basic journalism tactics amount to some kind of conspiratorial intrusion -- all in order to discredit sexual abuse allegations -- is lower than usual for themhttps://twitter.com/ChuckRossDC/status/929857728163598337 …

        "tactics amount to some kind of conspiratorial intrusion" This describes Breitbart's praxis in a nutcaseshell.

        Which is ironic because I'm sure you could find a thousand examples of Breitbart trying to coax something out of a reluctant source.

        Granted, investigative reporters trying hard to get a story, that actually is a bit shocking in this day and age.

        Even routine, non-"investigative" journalism frequently entails trying to get something out of a reluctant source. I'm sure Breitbart reporters have done it.

        I assume the worst. I assume there are now people threatening her. @JackPosobiec thought it was a good idea to repost a picture of one of the women. It was a photo along with her name and in the photo was the place she had worked.

        And people wonder why victims are often reluctant to come forward... as if they need to have their entire life's story dissected on the internet

        Maybe basic journalism tactics aren't good enough. Did the WAPO ask Roy Moore about the allegation (there's only one allegation) in its hit piece? Who will restore balance here?

        Lol... “lower than usual” meaning like a party weekend or something. Like they get down, usually not this low but they still do it from time to time if they’re feeling randy.

        Exactly, but I know you'd agree that the same thing applies to the DNC leaks: going after the messenger (assuming it was Russia) and ignoring the actual corruption scandals uncovered by the leaks is identical to what Breitbart did here.

        if no one believes you, a reporter asked me a couple times to go on record about something (normal day in journalism) just a month or so ago, but i passed it to others. (unfortunately they weren't interviewed.)
