Mediaite reporter Caleb Ecarma released a hit piece on Daily Wire Reporter Ryan Saaverda calling him a bigot and plagiarizer.
NEW by me — in 2017, Daily Wire’s Ryan Saavedra was fired from both Breitbart for racism and the Daily Caller due to plagiarism concerns. he is now one of the most popular political publishers on Facebook but is still facing plagiarism accusations https://t.co/3ZhCIIqZBW

Saavedra, who is a Seth Rich truther, has also spread far-right conspiracies and violent threats against Muslims. when I reached out to the Daily Wire for comment, Ben Shapiro told me the site is “neither responsible for that work, nor do we endorse it” https://t.co/3ZhCIIqZBW

while Shapiro acknowledged that other conservative media figures have reached out to him with plagiarism accusations against Saavedra, he maintains that Saavedra’s disputed work did not rise “to the level of plagiarism” https://t.co/3ZhCIIqZBW

There is a lot to unpack here.
The first thing is that this was clearly a hit piece because of the success Saaverda has had. The article admits he is widely shared and becoming one of the top journalists on Twitter. I am frequently using his tweets as a way to bring much-needed news to you.
The Second is that none of us are perfect. The idea that he edits clips to deceive is complete nonsense. Almost all of his videos are full of context and are accurately represented by the tweet itself. I won’t address the concerns of plagiarism because those are between him and whoever is claiming something was plagiarized. I will address however the stolen tweet idea. Can we all agree that people are stealing others tweets all the time? This is by no means a news story and as I said before should be taken care of between the people involved.
Finally, they never mention in the article that Ryan is a Hispanic-American.
I’m a Hispanic-American and I do NOT want illegal aliens in our country bringing their drugs & crime.
Kate Steinle died in her dad’s arms after being shot to death by a 5-time-deported illegal alien in a sanctuary city.
Obama’s failure to protect our borders is what killed Kate

You’d think an article claiming he is a racist bigot would mention that fact.
The only reason this story was written is because Ryan has become a successful voice on Twitter and the Liberal Press just can’t have that.
