Breitbart editor now says he believed Leigh Corfman, thought Roy Moore was 'terrible'
« on: December 23, 2017, 03:17:09 pm »

In the final weeks of the U.S. Senate race in Alabama, Breitbart News strained to discredit Leigh Corfman, who accused Republican Roy Moore of sexually touching her when she was 14 and he was 32. The far-right website published non-scoops - Corfman didn't have a phone in her bedroom! Corfman moved in with her father 12 days after meeting Moore! - as if they somehow made her account less believable.

Now, Breitbart editor in chief Alex Marlow tells CNN that he actually did believe Corfman. Here's an excerpt from Oliver Darcy's report:

"Marlow also stressed that he was personally uncomfortable with the behavior attributed by The Post to Moore, and noted that he did believe the accusations from Leigh Corfman, who said Moore assaulted her while she was 14 - they were 'not perfect,' he said, but had 'a lot of credibility.' "

So Breitbart’s coverage of Moore was a lie.

Is anyone still pretending that crap site is a reputable source for news?

I miss Andrew.  Since he's been gone, Breitbart has morphed into another National Enquirer or Infowars.  And the blame goes to the radical, constantly angry crazies who run it.

They really need to change the name from Breitbart.

Andrew, I'm sure, is turning over in his grave.

Breitbart is no longer anything like Breitbart was, and that's a shame.

Wow.

As cringeworthy as his stunt was, I assumed he at least believed Moore was innocent.

If he could come back and see what’s happened to his namesake...man.  It wouldn’t be pretty.

How many times did Roy Moore run for office?  Why didn't the dating young girls and alleged abuse of women come out then?  Just asking.

My informed opinion is that it never happened.

He didn't categorically and unconditionally deny it convincingly enough to satisfy all, even some Republicans. Who knows the reasons this never came up?

@LottieDah

Probably because running for higher office attracted more scrutiny.

At least 4 times, including US Senator.  The other 3 times, it was as judge and part of the Alabama legal system after being DA.  Perhaps you can see how that may discourage someone from coming forward.

Which would explain why their effort to sting the Post was so weak. They never wanted to.

Same as Trump when he told Wolf Blitzer that he never believed the story about Rafael Cruz and JFK but he told it anyway because "I wanted to win".

The people screaming loudest about "fake news" are the biggest lowlife liars around.

So, who didn't see this as the flimsiest sham attack on the face of the earth, other than me? How could you possibly believe this phony, politically motivated story?

"Conservative" media is a joke.

But saying Ben Carson is dropping out in Iowa or Marco Rubio doing the same in Hawaii or saying John Kasich was receiving Soros money or saying Rubio said about the Bible, "that book has few answers" doesn't make your lowlife liars scale?   :silly: Who did all of the above?

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
