We’ve already done one post today on Ben Shapiro that exposed just how “dangerous” he can be. Podcast Movement, which sold booth space to The Daily Wire for its event in Dallas, sent out a Code Red that Shapiro was actually on the convention floor. Podcast Movement apologized and took “full responsibility for the harm done by his presence,” while never quite explaining what “harm” Shapiro had caused just by walking around the convention.
We have another Ben Shapiro/Daily Wire story for you. It seems that on Wednesday, the website Uproxx published a piece entitled, “Student Loan Debt Forgiveness Hater Ben Shapiro Got His Ass Handed To Him by Someone Who Pointed Out that He Had Over $20K of PPP Loan Debt Forgiven.” First of all, there’s no connection between PPP loans and student debt cancellation. And second, the person who handed Shapiro’s ass to him got the wrong Ben Shapiro, who apparently works in real estate in Los Angeles.
The Daily Wire demanded a retraction and it looks like they got it, seeing as the story is nowhere to be found on Uproxx.com.

TIL that @BenShapiro is a young real estate agent in Los Angeles who owns the Daily Caller. I get all my information from blue checkmark liberals who do not tell lies.

1. That Ben Shapiro is a real estate agent in LA.
2. It's called The Daily Wire not The Daily Caller

You do that.
The author protected her account. Why, Ms. "Journalist"?

We don’t see any tweets about the big scoop either.

I, too, wish I could lazily browse the internet and write "slam" articles about things I see and I don't bother to check

I have seen a new way to end letters and emails “Be governed accordingly”

"Be governed accordingly" is my new 🔥
— Nicole Russell (@russell_nm) August 25, 2022
The "Be governed accordingly" is going to result in Uproxx sending a response to PA governor candidate JOSH Shapiro!

This must happen more often.

Uprocks (yes I'm misspelling) article appears removed but no apology in site

This needs to happen every time these journos lie like this.
Until journos start to feel the consequences of their actions things will never change.
Get. Her. Ass.

I'm not a lawyer, but curious why this wasn't addressed to them as well, or that they weren't even cced.— Trail Bites – كافر (@SaltierBit) August 25, 2022
How many false accusations go unpunished… I'm glad this one is being escalated.

This should happen to all media outlets and their staff far more often than it does. Hope this becomes a regular thing

Are we expected to pay off journalism school debt as well? Shouldn’t there be some kind of proof that they get what we pay for?

There are a lot of Shapiro haters in his replies calling him a “snowflake” for sending a cease-and-desist order. Yes, just let journalists outright lie about you and get away with it.
