[QUOTE]Breitbart Journalist Files Police Report Alleging Battery at Trump Event

Earlier this week, a reporter for the website Breitbart News said that she had been dragged down by the arm as she was asking Donald Trump a question at a campaign event at the Trump National Golf Club in Jupiter, Fla.

Another reporter present said that the Breitbart reporter, Michelle Fields, had been grabbed by Corey Lewandowski, Mr. Trump

Reporter and Trump's spokeswoman were supposed to be on Fox tonight.

Wonder if that will still occur given all the other events.

Also don't forget that Drumpf's body guard choke slammed a reporter to the ground because he stepped 18 inches out of a reporter area.

The hilarious thing is that Breibart is a very pro Drumpf site. Their reporters get manhandled by his campaign manager as a thank you.

What a time.

Wasn't a Trump guy.

Even worse it was a Secret Service agent.

You wonder how tense things were before that incident.

There have been whispers (http://www.buzzfeed.com/mckaycoppins/breitbart-staffers-believe-trump-has-given-money-to-site-for#.wnX1DjOQL3) from Breitbart's own employees that Trump has been paying for coverage.
According to four sources with knowledge of the situation, editors and writers at the outlet have privately complained since at least last year that the company’s top management was allowing Trump to turn Breitbart into his own fan website — using it to hype his political prospects and attack his enemies. One current editor called the water-carrying “despicable” and “embarrassing,” and said he was told by an executive last year that the company had a financial arrangement with Trump. A second Breitbart staffer said he had heard a similar description of the site’s relationship with the billionaire but didn’t know the details; and a third source at the company said he knew of several instances when managers had overruled editors at Trump’s behest. Additionally, a conservative communications operative who works closely with Breitbart described conversations in which “multiple writers and editors” said Trump was paying for the ability to shape coverage, and added that one staffer claimed to have seen documentation of the “pay for play.”
All four sources spoke on condition of anonymity so as not to jeopardize their jobs; and none knew exactly how Trump’s alleged arrangement with the privately held company worked.

The editors really did a poor job of backing up their reporter on this too.

He was interviewed on CNN and flat out says Breitbart is lying over this incident
