- Ben Shapiro is a former Breitbart editor who once apparently invented a fake terrorist group as well as a set of anonymous Senate sources to tell him about it, all in order to smear an Obama appointee. He was following a tradition of journalistic creativity pioneered by Breitbart’s founder, the late Andrew Breitbart.
A conservative student group at Marquette University in Wisconsin is hosting a speech by Shapiro and students are peaceably assembling to protest. One University staffer suggested that students should accept free tickets and then not show up: a suggestion inconsistent with respect for the exercise of free speech.
Conservative James Wigderson suggests that the conduct of campus protestors and the reaction of the University will test the University’s commitment to free speech.
Being fair, James reports that the staffer has been reprimanded, but neglects to mention that fake terrorist incident or the stint as editor at Breitbart.
