From Gotnews.com<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Sometimes you can tell a story is fake really quick. Sometimes you can tell a reporter is a fraud even faster just by talking to them.<\/p>\n

Last month Breitbart\u2019s Michelle Fields falsely accused me of hacking her computer after she sent me a LinkedIn request and I called her. Not only was this absurd to accuse another reporter of a federal crime but she didn\u2019t correct her tweet about it until I called her bosses at Breitbart and forced her to. No apology, nothing. That kind of pissed me off. I mean she\u2019s hot but not accuse you of a federal crime hot. I guess GOTIS really is a thing.<\/p>\n

Anyway I called her because several months before that I published a story about how she had been sexually assaulted by former congressman (and her former colleague) Allen West. She wanted to be a source, then she didn\u2019t, then she did, then she didn\u2019t. It got exhausting so I published what I had and called it a day. She freaked out and called me over and over again until I put a crappy update in it. I didn\u2019t want to make life difficult for a victim, after all. (I still believe that West assaulted women but I don\u2019t know if I believe Michelle Fields. If she cared so much about the victims why did she waffle?)<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve since been told that she claimed she was assaulted when she worked for Students for Liberty and threatened the organization when they asked her to do work.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to stress here that Fields is pretty lazy. She was fired from the Daily Caller for not doing work. Her famous questioning of celebrities reportedly required a lot of coaching from her Reason.tv videographer.<\/p>\n

Fields is supposed to be covering Cruz for Breitbart but she doesn\u2019t actually go out and cover Cruz. Instead, she just reads what people write about him on Twitter. You can get a sense of her process by watching her interview with Brian Lamb of C-Span. She finds her stories on Facebook or Twitter, of course.<\/p>\n

Daily Caller senior editor Jamie Weinstein is Michelle\u2019s on again, off again boyfriend. He\u2019s important and will come up again later. Weinstein and I have a gentleman\u2019s understanding that he\u2019s not to mess with me and I intend to honor it up until the moment he doesn\u2019t so I won\u2019t go too much into him. You\u2019re welcome, Jamie.<\/p>\n

Weinstein and Fields are a wannabe DC power couple. Jamie brings the money; Michelle brings the hotness. Both of them have aspirations of rising beyond their new media station and yet it hasn\u2019t happened yet. Indeed it\u2019s no coincidence that the story was leaked to the Daily Beast, a sort of way station between right-wing new media world and mainstream respectability. It\u2019s a path taken by Betsy Woodruff (formerly National Review) & Will Rahn (son of WSJ columnist Peggy Noonan, former Daily Caller).<\/p>\n

A media mentor even advise I take that path which is why I wrote a few pieces for the Daily Beast in 2014 or so. And get paid so little? Fuck that. I want Tina Turner\u2019s job where you can lose millions. (That mainstream media ship sailed when I debunked the gun stats of Everytown and was branded a pro-gun nut by those pricks for proving that the stats used by the Bloomberg front group were bullshit. You might have seen my work on that plagiarized by a Conservative Inc. website.)<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s review the facts of Corey Lewandowski-Michelle Fields dust up, shall we?<\/p>\n

She wears high heels when she goes out reporting. And has fallen down before when she was covering Occupy Wall Street. Maybe she falls down a lot? Don\u2019t know. Maybe she does it to get attention.<\/p>\n

But I do find it odd that she says she\u2019s never tried to make herself the story. That\u2019s precisely what she always tries to do.<\/p>\n

Here are some questions I have as she gets her media moment.<\/p>\n

Why did Fields not ask a question of Trump at his forty minute press conference?<\/p>\n

Why was she waiting in an area that Secret Service was already clearing?<\/p>\n

Why did Fields who did not see who tugged her arm ask Lewandowski if he was in the fact the person who tugged her arm?<\/p>\n

Why did she not speak to a superior about the alleged incident instead of a speaking to ahostile news outlet and a romantic interest right away?<\/p>\n

Why was her boyfriend (and Marco Rubio supporter from Florida) Jamie Weinstein the first person to tweet about the allege incident? Was Jamie present?<\/p>\n

And why did he call Trump\u2019s people \u201cthugs\u201d? Doesn\u2019t he know that\u2019s a racial slur? Tsk, tsk, Jamie!<\/p>\n

Why does no video of this alleged incident exist? A room full of reporters and police and secret service and no one takes a video or even a picture?<\/p>\n

Borrowing from Andrew Breitbart who was a bawler I\u2019m offering $1000 for the video. If that\u2019s not enough, hit me up with your best offer. My email is editor@gotnews.com. And if you want anonymity, I\u2019ve got a wickr handle I can send you. There was a sea of new media present. (If you want to donate to fund this and other bounties, donate here.)<\/p>\n

Why didn\u2019t she file a police report if it was \u201cbattery\u201d? Why didn\u2019t this Fields approach the police after the incident if it was in fact assault? (Seems like a fake rape style incident to me!)<\/p>\n

Why is the alleged incident being used as a setup to attack a candidate at tonight\u2019s debate?<\/p>\n

Why did she wait so long to release a photo of the bruise? And why hasn\u2019t it been submitted to the police?<\/p>\n

Politico says Fields will be on Good Morning America tomorrow morning. Isn\u2019t it interesting how she\u2019s finally getting lots of mainstream media attention? Where were they went she was going after rich pricks who refused to give more to the IRS or taking on Matt Damon and his slavish support of the teachers\u2019 union?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
