Breaking: Ben Shapiro Makes Shit Up!

We have a slight correction to the headline. We do not know whether Ben Shapiro, of Breitbart News (sic) actually makes shit up. What we do know, however, is that he includes made-up shit in his stories and then, even when called on the made-up shit, actually stands by the made-up shit because "The story as reported is correct," according to Mr. Shapiro. In other words, he correctly quoted the bullshit that his source fed him even though he, in all likelihood, knew at the time that the story was bullshit.

Sources: Dave Weigel's article in SlateDavid Taintor's article on TPM, and, of course, the article by Dan Friedman, who's sarcastic comment started the whole thing.

To repeat: There is no group called "Friends of Hamas." We do not know whether or not Ben Shapiro is payed by "The Friends of Hitler" or even "The Osama bin Laden Memorial Society," but we do know that Breitbart News happily prints bullshit. That is all.
