Thread Name: BS: FoX News TKO's Obama..Shirley Sherrod Firing
Subject: RE: BS: FoX News TKO's Obama...
Bruce...Bill O'Reilly said she should resign BEFORE the White House response OR the NAACP response.

"No attempt to look at the facts, and the NAACP, WHICH HAD THE ENTIRE TAPE, pushed for her to be fired."

One small branch of the NAACP in Georgia had the original tape when the story broke. They recorded it for their own records.Your comment is how stories get twisted. You make it appear that the **national** NAACP knew all about this. What the hell is wrong with just agreeing for once that some of your favorite right-wing talkers went WAY out on a limb and thus, given the nervous climate, tempted administration officials to rush to judgement? Shame on those officials for being careless...but FOX was the instigator!!!

I can agree that Fox didn't do the editing, but STILL be appalled that FOX gave it wide airplay by 4-5 different commentators without checking.
CNN just made clear that THEY had the story Monday before noon, but decided they 'might' run it Tuesday because they needed time to properly check it out first!

Andrew Breitbart is not a journalist...he is an activist with a website...a VERY conservative activist whose claim to fame is pushing the edited ACORN tape.
