mobanmarketKen LaCorte of LaCorte News has published a YouTube video slamming Showtime for a recent episode of its miniseries, The Loudest Voice, in which it created a fake headline and an antisemitic cartoon to smear Breitbart News.
The Loudest Voice is a seven-part miniseries about the late Roger Ailes, who built the Fox News Channel into the dominant force in cable news. It is based on a book by Gabe Sherman, The Loudest Voice in the Room: How the Brilliant, Bombastic Roger Ailes Built Fox News–and Divided a Country; Ailes is played by Russell Crowe.
LaCorte, who ran Fox News’ Internet division for over a decade, recently started LaCorte News with former Fox editorial chief John Moody. The site focuses on media spin and censorship.
The website has devoted particular attention to scrutinizing and criticizing The Loudest Voice, given LaCorte and Moody’s knowledge of the inner workings at Fox.
By smearing Breitbart with an antisemitic cartoon, LaCorte explains, Showtime has crossed a line (video and transcript follow):

HBO has also distorted Breitbart News stories in the past. In 2012, the HBO series Newsroom twisted the tale of the Anthony Weiner scandal — which was broken by Andrew Breitbart — to vilify Breitbart News and the woman who came forward.
Breitbart News has reached out to Showtime for comment.
