Dana Loesch Led Despicable Smear Campaign Against University of Missouri System

[proud2BlibKansan]

The past two weeks, Dana Loesch has led a disgusting smear campaign against two course instructors at UMKC and UMSL based on shamelessly chopped-up video designed to create a false narrative. Two days ago, UMSL called the videos "distorted" and "definitely taken out of context" in a written statement and even KMOX reported on the misleading editing job. The fact that Loesch is being dishonest should not be news to any readers of this blog, but this case is substantially different from the norm for a couple of reasons. First, it's different because the instructors targeted by the smear campaign have already received numerous threats based on the Right wing's deceptive attacks. And second, in this case, Loesch has unquestionably been the leader in pushing out the manufactured lies. Her role in this story is similar to the role Breitbart played in the Shirley Sherrod story.

On Monday of last week, the day the story broke, Loesch repeatedly advertised having "exclusive audio" on the smear campaign on her radio show:

No one, not even Dana Loesch, could believe those quotes are equivalent. Thus, she deliberately distorted information, pushed it out, and used lies to get her followers to send angry (and possibly threatening) messages to the university instructors she smeared. And yet CNN seems to think it can still have a shred of credibility with her as a contributor. Truly mind-boggling.

1. Does this "it" work with Andrew Breitbart by any chance?

2. Yes she does.

And she's a commentator on CNN.
