Ben Shapiro Leaves TruthRevolt

Via the Washington Examiner:

Conservative commentator Ben Shapiro has resigned as editor-in-chief of TruthRevolt, a non-profit news website site that he co-founded just two years ago. Shapiro's departure from the young media group, which he launched in 2013 along with David Horowitz of the David Horowitz Freedom Center, comes amid the group's decision to let go of many of its writers — and as Horowitz is hitting back against widespread rumors that the site is sinking. Although Shapiro's name is prominently displayed on the website's homepage, it is nevertheless a "project of the David Horowitz Freedom Center." Horowitz himself owns the site. "I am no longer associated with [TruthRevolt] and it's a project of the David Horowitz Freedom Center, fully owned and operated by them," Shapiro told the Washington Examiner's media desk when asked about the future of the website. "What David Horowitz chooses to do with the site after my resignation is out of my purview."

The above-linked article goes on at some length to claim that today is the final day for TruthRevolt, but this morning they announced a new editor. Shapiro's name has vanished from title banner. The stated mission of TruthRevolt is to "unmask leftists in the media for who they are, destroy their credibility with the American public, and devastate their funding bases."

Apparently Ben Shapiro's Truth Revolt thinks that the horrific murders of 149 innocent people presents a hilarious opportunity to attack President Obama.

Today's Message From Teabagistan

Thanks, Christian White Men

In April, Truth Revolt writer Andrew Klavan declared that gays should thank Jesus for giving us our civil rights. Today he says that we should thank all Christian white men for...well, basically everything.

Ben Shapiro's Site: Gays Should Thank Jesus Christ That They Have Any Rights

TruthRevolt writer Andrew Klavan says "gay radicals" should look at the Wikipedia map of gay rights around the world and take note that all of the most gay-friendly nations are dominated by Christianity. Klaven concludes:

You have the Bible and Jesus Christ to thank for the fact that you even conceive of yourself as creatures with rights. Such ideas take centuries to develop and the process isn’t smooth or easy. But over time, a culture comes more and more to resemble its core principles. To indict those principles for the sins of history is a crude and thoughtless mistake. Your cause is in the ascendant, gay radicals who hate Christianity. And so you think you can safely abandon the Judaeo-Christian fundamentals that got you here: tolerance, freedom of conscience, forgiveness. You think you can pull out the bottom block of the tower of freedom in order to build onto the top. It’s a fool’s game. I bear no hostility towards you because you’re gay; none. It’s your small-minded bigotry I despise.

Klaven is apparently unaware that several of the largest Christian groups in the United States have repeatedly called for re-criminalizing homosexuality. Or that in several states God's Own Party has refused to repeal unconstitutional laws against sodomy. Or that Uganda, which is 85% Christian, has among the most brutal anti-gay laws in the world and very nearly approved the death penalty for for homosexuality.

Breitbart Editor Ben Shaprio Launches Site To "Unmask And Destroy Leftists"

Today Breitbart editor Ben Shapiro launched TruthRevolt, a new site designed to "unmask leftists in the media for who they are, destroy their credibility with the American public, and devastate their funding bases." From Breitbart:

Shapiro said TruthRevolt will be billed as the "anti-Media Matters." He emphasized that Media Matters has tried to destroy the careers of conservatives who are truth-tellers and TruthRevolt will "turn that around and go after the liars of the left-wing" and the mainstream media. He went on to say, "we're not going to stop until we've made clear to these advertisers" that the American public is not happy with advertisers supporting and spending cash on people" who are propagandizing on behalf of the obama administration" and other left-wing causes. Shapiro said because "money talks," the media will not change, and the mainstream media will continue to peddle their lies and distortions while omitting facts that hurt their agenda "unless these folks start to feel it in their wallet." He said TruthRevolt's goal is going to be to "change the nature of media" by "actually making it clear that they are going to lose money if they" continue to mislead Americans.

The second-most lying site in America (after WND, natch) is going to unmask the liars!

NOTE: Their first "bombshell" today is that Ritz Crackers advertises on Al Sharpton's MSNBC chow. Earth shattering! There's a petition!  Call One Million Moms!
