Oh bullshit.

Can you honestly say that Faux news critically examined and vetted the video before commenting. Did they come to the defense of Ms. Sherrod immediately upon seeing the video? Have they ever come to the defense of Acorn once it was conclusively proven that Breitbart concocted that one?

They bear absolute responsibility for creating the current political atmosphere - in which simply the threat of Faux running the video (and then pushing it relentlessly and uncritically (of the video) -- just as they did with Acorn--) creates a huge PR problem despite the total dishonesty of the video...is enough to force the Whitehouse to (despicably) cave-in to their blackmail.

This is all about Faux news. Breitbart may have made the video, but who was poised to make it their anti-Obama, anti-black people smear story of the month?

When Faux comes clean about the Acorn incident, I will begin to believe anything you might say in their defense. Until then we can only judge Faux based on their dishonest, propagandistic deeds.

And sorry, but if you believe that they were going to defend Ms. Sherrod, have another sip of Kool-Aid.
