Content: Lawyers would sometimes need to be brought in, and in some cases, lawsuits would follow. And sometimes, negative stories would start appearing on Breitbart.com attacking the departing employee. Days after Shapiro left the site, for instance, Breitbart posted -- and then deleted -- an article mocking him as an “ambitious conservative gadfly.” ( Joel B. Pollak, an editor at large, later apologized and said he had written it “as part of an effort to make light of a significant company event” and it was published “as a result of a misunderstanding.”) Dana Loesch, now a radio host with The Blaze and formerly an editor of the “Big Journalism” vertical at Breitbart, sued the site a few months after Andrew Breitbart’s death in 2012. Loesch alleged in her suit that executives wouldn’t let her out of her contract and that they attempted to “sabotage” her future employment “through public misstatements and private threats to sue those who would otherwise employ” her. The suit was ultimately settled. "I can’t discuss my departure or time there, but I can say that the number of people who have fled Bannon News since I left and have found happier employment elsewhere speaks for itself,” Loesch said in an email. " It’s plain to see that the site is used as a grievance tool of Steve Bannon, irrelevant of primary politics. I only hope Trump doesn’t anger Bannon in some way and find himself in Bannon’s crosshairs, as has occurred with so many others.”
