 RS>>>>> But let's take a look at how Fox reports a "real story."

 TR>>>> Andrew Breitbart on 'Hannity': 'This Is Not About Shirley

 RS>>> Breitbart has been shown to be a (bleep)-ing liar.

 RS> A lie is a lie.

And you keep telling it.

 RS> Breitbart lied about the video.

No, he did not. The video he got from an un-named source was incomplete, but
his entire point for posting the video was to show the NAACP's double standard.

 RS> A lie is being pushed that the White House wanted Sherrod to quit before
 RS> Fox ran with the fake story.

There is no lie there regardless of how much your George Soros source claims.
Fox didn't mention it until after the WH forced Ms. Sherrod to resign.

 RS> (And Ed? Take your George Soros paranoia and shove it back up where you
 RS> got it.)

I have no paranoia WRT Soros. It is well documented that Soros funds Medai
Matters and is behind the Center for American Progress.

 RS> Breitbart continues to lie, now he's blaming Sherrod herself.

Really? Says who? You?

 RS> Glenn Beck, who never saw a wacko conspiracy theory about Obama he
 RS> didn't like, says this is all a plot to get Breitbart off the Internet
 RS> and Faux "news" off the air.

Glenn Beck said no such thing. As usual, you rely on the liars at media matters
to get your talking points.

 RS> Just admit it.
 RS> Your boys SCREWED UP.

Number one, who do you think is Jeff's or my boys? Breitbart? Fox News? Are you
for real?

 RS> Vilsack screwed up, as did the White House.
 RS> Both have apologized.

They were forced to apologized whrn they found they screwed the pooch.

 RS> Faux and Breitbart refuse to apologize, and are desperately making shit
 RS> up to blame just about anyone and everyone except themselves.

Is that so? The one person on Fox who came to the same conclusion the WH did
(O'Reily) apologized the same day the WH did.

No one else on Fox mentioned the incident until the day after Sherrod was
fired. Beck said she shouldn't have been fired. The head of the Fox News room
told the reporters to go slowly on the story until all the information was in.

 RS> Remember Dan Blather and the Bush documents fiasco?

Rather STILL thinks those documents were true. How does it feel to only be able
to parrot the claims of the left?

 RS> Now apply those same standards to Breitbart and Faux "news," hypocrite.

Breitbart corrected his story and posted additional video. In fact, part of the
original video he posted that caused all of this shows that Shirley Sherrod was
relating an epiphany on her part, but the WH and the NAACP must have missed
that when they condemned her.

You can try to repeat the silly whines from the left about how "evil" Fox News
and Andrew Breitbart are to blame, but you have to then ignore the fact that
the only ones who's knees jerked are the WH and NAACP. Heck, the NAACP had the
original video and went off without first checking that to get the full
context.

Shirley Sherrod didn't lose her job because of Breitbart or Fox News, she lost
her job because of the ineptitude of the White House.

BTW, Fox News ratings increased during this weeks news and the rest decreased.
