Rig, you are right about Shepard Smith, of Fox, being nearly the only TV media person to refuse to run the material without first validating it.   And, Bill Reilly may have apologized. But Fox News (cable) did run Brietbart's video over and over, more than the other news media did and seemed especially delighted to have such a juicy story that they could say painted Democrats and liberals as racists.

          Brietbart doesn't live on another planet, Rig. He seems to know all to well how to do political damage via this sort of deceptive propagandistic trick.
