If you’ve been scrolling through the news on Twitter, you’ve probably come across at least one story reporting that Dan Bongino has been dropped from NRATV. Bongino’s calling that fake news and calling out reporters who passed the story along.
The NRA's media arm has dropped pro-Trump firebrand Dan Bongino from its lineup of conservative commentators, The Daily Beast has learned https://t.co/ck3O9KtbSy

The NRA's media arm has dropped pro-Trump firebrand Dan Bongino from its lineup of conservative commentators, The Daily Beast has learned. It comes amid a continued downsizing of its media operation. https://t.co/LwrQbLPMzU

The National Rifle Association’s media arm has dropped pro-Trump firebrand Dan Bongino from its lineup of conservative commentators, two sources with knowledge of the decision told The Daily Beast.
Bongino’s stand-alone show, “We Stand,” had started only last year.
Fake News Alert ?.
I was waiting for these guys to run with this fabricated story. I’ll discuss on my show tomorrow where I’ll thoroughly embarrass the author. I’ll wait for his apology. https://t.co/XpSKFmxAcc— Dan Bongino (@dbongino) December 10, 2018
This story is absolutely untrue and the “reporter” knows it. He texted me on Friday, after hearing I DECLINED A GENEROUS RENEWAL OFFER, this “Heard you didn’t renew with NRATV.” Yet, he lied & wrote I was “dropped” and liberal imbeciles immediately ran with it. This is fake news. https://t.co/XpSKFmxAcc

Looks like the Daily Beast appended Bongino’s denial to its story:
Like usual, alleged fake news is usually actual news.
"After initial publication, @dbongino tweeted that reports of his show’s demise was “fake news,” and promised to elaborate on his podcast."https://t.co/InVxx3UTkq

Liberal toolbox runs with fake news story despite me tweeting out conclusive evidence that the “reporter” on the story KNEW it was fake. Waiting for the tweet deletion. ?? https://t.co/qne3ioxX12

Here’s the “reporter’s” text. He knows he lied. pic.twitter.com/e9hcfeRUkV

This loser, who was embarrassed by his own company for his hate-filled tweets directed at me, got totally played by a fake news story. Owning this guy is getting to be a pastime for me. I’ll wait for his apology, again. https://t.co/QmVV6eHWUR
— Dan Bongino (@dbongino) December 10, 2018
This loser from the Daily Beast is proud that his publication ran with a fake news story THEY KNEW was bullshit. Unreal. They own themselves daily. https://t.co/VhTgwI9J8G
— Dan Bongino (@dbongino) December 10, 2018
The Daily Beast had never heard he declined a generous offer of any kind, so Dan is (shocking!) splitting hairs here and calling a completely accurate story (Read. It.) “fake news” because why not? https://t.co/qWXqgf3gyF

Fake news “reporter” writes I was “dropped” after his fake news co-author texts me saying he heard “I DIDN’T RENEW,” and now he’s desperately trying to unwind his bullshit. These idiots dunk on themselves. https://t.co/7LGdPgJhQR
— Dan Bongino (@dbongino) December 10, 2018
I am trying to unwind nothing. @lachlan and I stand by everything that was published in the story.
There is only one person online tweeting about this story who sounds like they’re melting down.
— Asawin Suebsaeng (@swin24) December 10, 2018
He cannot save himself. He’s digging a hole he cannot get out of. He had no credibility so he has nothing to lose but he’s embarrassing himself and his associates now. https://t.co/09TwJDzHKa
— Dan Bongino (@dbongino) December 10, 2018
To be clear, everyone, Dan hates litigious people but has threatened to sue me. Ok. https://t.co/QqNybASTiH

Let me get you on the record again. Are you saying I was fired? Let’s see you stand by this. A simple yes or no will do.
— Dan Bongino (@dbongino) December 10, 2018
Ok Dan, let's converse. If that Daily Beast report I was relying upon was wrong, I'll fess up, happily. I like making fun of you for being you, but unlike your Spirit Besat Trump, I don't share false info. So go ahead, for the record, tell me what really happened
— Cliff Schecter (@cliffschecter) December 10, 2018
A yes or no will do. Was I “fired” or not? Have some balls and stand by your statement. Yes or no?
— Dan Bongino (@dbongino) December 10, 2018
I'm asking you, Dan. You are saying that a report in a reputable outlet–not as reputable as NRATV, but ya know, they're trying–is wrong. So I'm gonna go ahead and believe you, bc you seem rational about it. So tell me what happened? Tell us all. We want to support you.
— Cliff Schecter (@cliffschecter) December 10, 2018
A yes or no please. Nothing else is required of you.
— Dan Bongino (@dbongino) December 10, 2018
I know ur used to the bully routine and it prob works in ur world, but what's required of me is honestly not up to you. I told you, I'll believe you, you left. Now tell us what happened? You choose to leave bc you figured the 4th time running for Congress was a charm?
— Cliff Schecter (@cliffschecter) December 10, 2018
For the record, we have absolutely no inside info to share. But we do know that shots at Trump and NRATV and Bongino’s political campaigns don’t sound like a yes or a no.
Seems like you’re backpedaling properly to me. A simple yes or no will suffice…

Here’s Stephen Gutowski of the Washington Free Beacon:
Two sources said his show was ending (which is now confirmed). They said he was fired. Bongino actively refused to respond to a request for comment but now, after publication, says he is leaving of his own accord.
— Stephen Gutowski (@StephenGutowski) December 10, 2018
You can believe the sources or you can believe Bongino but I don't see anything wrong with reporting what the sources said. Especially since Bongino proved himself that they reached out for his side of the story.

It's good to be skeptical of all parties.
