Maddow On Sherrod Story: Why Does Obama Keep Falling For Fox News’ Stunts

Video
» 126 comments

Considering the determination Rachel Maddow showed in covering the ins and outs of the ACORN story it was not a surprise when she jumped right into the Shirley Sherrod video debacle last night and tied the two incidents together.

Back in April, at the end of a long expose on the edited ACORN video clips which resulted in the downfall of the organization, Maddow concluded “it was a dishonest political stunt that bears not resemblance to journalism…means be damned, it worked. Who do you think is next on that list?”

Said Maddow last night: “Today we got an answer to that question, which I hoped at the time was just a rhetorical one.”

Interestingly, Maddow had much harsher words for Fox News (and a series of damning clips) than she did for Andrew Breitbart, who initially obtained and released the clip (also the ACORN clips). Said Maddow:

What is not really interesting about this whole situation is that Fox News is doing this. This is what Fox News does, this is how they are different from other news organizations. This is why the White House argued months ago that Fox News should be treated as a media organization but not as a normal news organization. They don’t treat news the way a normal news organization treats news. Just like the fake ACORN controversy Fox News knows it has a role in this dance. That’s not new, that’s not even actually interesting.

I’m not remotely convince that it’s uninteresting to Maddow or anyone else, that said what she does find interesting right now, and what is clearly going to be the larger scandal here for so many reasons is that “the Obama administration keeps falling for it.” Maddow lists Van Jones, ACORN, and now Sherrod as “cooked up” scandals the Obama administration has overreacted to.

“If you feed that dog at the table, you are encouraging that dog to beg at the table….who do you think is next on their list.”

    As I wrote last night, Ms. Maddow deserves the highest commendation for not only going after the lying scumbag, Breitbart, and those who perpetuated his lies at FOX News, but also the NAACP, the Administration and our President. Lies taint all who come near them.

    TRUTH AND DECENCY DIE WITH BREITBART AND FOX NEWS!

  • Latin2

    ….because Obama is a dope. The NAACP started all this first trying to SMEAR the Tea Party and it back fired on them.

    Americans are sick of racism and people screaming racism…DUH.

    .I guess Obama and his friends forgot last year with the Gates police story.

    USING THE RACE CARD BACKFIRES LIBERALS.

    I do hope Breitbart and those who perpetuated his lies at FOX News watch Ms. Maddow last night. They might have been blinded by the light of journalistic integrity, but, as I recall, St. Paul’s blindness led to a vision of the Truth.

    Why does Rachel Maddow think this is Obama falling for a Fox News stunt, when Sherrod was fired before Fox ever aired a word of this story? Andrew Breitbart, Rachel. Perhaps you’ve heard of him.

  • MichelleF

    Glenn has some great points, this morning.

    1) it’s funny that everyone is blaming Fox, since by the WH’s own admission they aren’t a real news source. So how could the WH fall for something that came from a place that isn’t relevant? HM.

    2) could it be that the NAACP didn’t release the whole video HOPING that Beck would jump on it, and oh no he didn’t. Now that’s an interesting theory. I think Glenn is on to something.

    and ps Royal Race-Baiter, you seem to be taking it REALLY hard that the lib racist playbook is out in the open. I think you need a nice relaxing bath and a valium.

  • TfT

    Interestingly, Maddow had much harsher words for Fox News — what a funny statement Glynnis. MSNBC lives to criticize FNC. If it weren’t for FNC, MSNBC wouldn’t exist.

    Truth of the matter is that FNC had nothing to do with this story until after Sherrod was forced to resign by the President of the NAACP who was actually in attendance when Shirly gave her speech (was he part of the cheering crowd when she expressed (her since revised) racist statements?

    Maddow is not to be praised for her misrepresentation of facts, she should be condemned. In typical fashion, the left lies and MSNBC leads in the lies (certainly Rachel and her cohorts are members of journolist, or its new invention under some new name).

    The ACORN and Van Jones stories were valid, ACORN is being sued as we speak and Van Jones is no longer in the WH, after being exposed as the 9/11 truther and commie he is.

    If one doesn’t condemn racism, one condones it. In the case of Maddow and most of the rest of the liberal press, they’re not only condoning it, but promoting it. The video speaks for itself. The crowd reaction when they thought poor old Shirley was telling a story about how she screwed whitey speaks volumes about the racist naacp, and the press ignoring that to focus on Sherrod speaks volumes about their own racism, as it does about you liberal commentators here. What a bunch of liberal, racist scum.

    The university at which I earned my Bachelor’s degree and one of my graduate degrees has emblazoned across its Main Building the passage from the Holy Gospel According to St. John the Divine, “You Shall Know the Truth, and the Truth Shall Set You Free.” Michelle in Utah, freedom is wondrous. It begins with the shackles on the mind. Set yourself free. You deserve it. Everyone does.

  • tjames

    It’s amazing that a “non-news organization,” as Fox is considered by Maddow and Obama has such power. Before Fox or Beck says a single word about this, they force her to quit. Yet, they still blame Fox for her getting fired. But Fox hadn’t said a word, but they are to blame. But they hadn’t said anything yet, but they need to blamed! Wow, the liberal mindset sure is confusing.

    YUP…Sherrod BUSTED the NAACP and the Obama whitehouse. Today USDA is trying to protect Obama and his whitehouse BY LYING and saying they had nothing to do with her firing…BUT on Anderson Cooper’s CNN show Sherrod said that the order to fire her CAME DIRECTLY FROM THE WHITEHOUSE…so once again they are lying…like usual.

  • Iris

    So whatcaha gonna do about it lanquigirl you little stormfront coward, youand the girls gonna sit there whinin and cryin now that the NAACP has kicked your ass

  • Latin2

    .

    The time line of the Shirley Sherrod – NAACP story reveals it all;

    1 – Breibert had video on his site.

    2 – NAACP denounces Sherrod and throws her under the bus.

    3 – White House demands Sherrod resign and throws her under the bus.

    4 – Sherrod resigns. (later tells CNN that she was FORCED to resign because the “white house” was afraid that Beck would have her on his show).

    5 – Some Fox News shows do the story

    7 – Glenn Beck DOES NOT have Sherrod on his show that evening.

    So apparently according to the time line Obama and the NAACP JUMPED THE GUN and had a rush to judgment…and Sherrod ADMITS on CNN that she resigned because the White House was afraid of Glenn Beck..huh?

    Dave what would you called the info leaked from journolist yesterday, today’s daily caller piece on the lib media wanting FOX shut down and quotes like this:

    “she wrote in 1984 that “civil rights laws were not passed to protect the rights of white men and do not apply to them.”

    Tainting the tea party movement with the charge of racism is proving to be an effective strategy for Democrats. There is no evidence that tea party adherents are any more racist than other Republicans, and indeed many other Americans. But getting them to spend their time purging their ranks and having candidates distance themselves should help Democrats win in November. Having one’s opponent rebut charges of racism is far better than discussing joblessness.

    No, it isn’t. The first mention of this on Fox was O’Reilly, at 8PM. Shirley had been ordered to pull of to the side of the road and resign hours earlier.

    The NAACP did not condemn the tea party itself as racist. Rather, they pointed out that there were some racists who were being tolerated by the tea party. And indeed there are a few racists involved, including the guy from the tea party express who was properly cast off. In the end, casting off the racists is what the tea party needs to do for its own benefit.

    What Rachel said:
    “This is why the White House argued months ago that Fox News should be treated as a media organization but not as a normal news organization. They don’t treat news the way a normal news organization treats news.”

    What Rachel meant:
    If Pres Obama could do it legally, he would shut Fox News down. Personally, legal or not, I want Fox News shut down.

    Many on Journolist agree with her:

    The very existence of Fox News, meanwhile, sends Journolisters into paroxysms of rage. When Howell Raines charged that the network had a conservative bias, the members of Journolist discussed whether the federal government should shut the channel down.

    “I am genuinely scared” of Fox, wrote Guardian columnist Daniel Davies, because it “shows you that a genuinely shameless and unethical media organisation *cannot* be controlled by any form of peer pressure or self-regulation, and nor can it be successfully cold-shouldered or ostracised. In order to have even a semblance of control, you need a tough legal framework.” Davies, a Brit, frequently argued the United States needed stricter libel laws.

    So even though FNC didn’t actually run a story on this until AFTER Ms. Sherrod had resigned… they’re still to blame?

    The first time I was faced with having to help a white farmer save his farm, he — he took a long time talking, but he was trying to show me he was superior to me. I know what he was doing. But he had come to me for help. What he didn’t know while he was taking all that time trying to show me he was superior to me, was I was trying to decide just how much help I was going to give him.

    I was struggling with the fact that so many black people have lost their farmland, and here I was faced with having to help a white person save their land. So, I didn’t give him the full force of what I could do. I did enough so that when he — I — I assumed the Department of Agriculture had sent him to me, either that or the — or the Georgia Department of Agriculture. And he needed to go back and report that I did try to help him.

    Shirley accuses Mr. Spoon of racism, treating her like an inferior. She “knew what he was doing”.

    Another interesting clip, in her otherwise inspiring speech:

    You know, I haven’t seen such a mean-spirited people as I’ve seen lately over this issue of health care. Some of the racism we thought was buried. Didn’t it surface? Now, we endured eight years of the Bush’s and we didn’t do the stuff these Republicans are doing because you have a black President.

    So….she did to Tea Partiers/Republicans what everyone is upset claiming Breitbart did to her. She said the racism that occurred over the issue of health care – which no doubt she means the lies that members of the black caucus were spit on and called n-word. She, in her speech, condemned people without any proof.

    Also, what is up with her comments that “we didn’t do this stuff”? Who is she kidding?

    sorry…let me be more clear…sherrod tapes..edited, black panthers..nothing to do with the president except for the fact they have the same skin color and one right wing nutjob, appointed by the bush administration, wanting to lie about it. acorn tapes..edited. rachel’s story was right on the money and i wish the white house would have stuck with their original conclusion that faux news is nothing but a propaganda network for right wing lunatics whose only goal is to discredit pres. obama.
    their intentions might not be racial motivated, but they know what plays to their audience. obviously i don’t think everyone who watches fox is a racist, but if you are chances are you are watching fox.
    it’s a shame the people on the right can turn such a wonderful story such as sherod’s into a hateful piece of piece of propaganda to further their agenda. people like her and sen. byrd are great examples are great examples of of understanding and forgiveness.

    They are all edited. The worst offenders are MM when it comes to Rush. Obviously Daily Show edits everything, to be funny, but the Left thinks its factual. And Olby and MSNBC take stuff out of context and edited all the time to make things look worse. First example that pops into my mind is the black guy with the gun. Maddow also edited out parts of Shirley’s speech, like I said above, where she calls Republicans racist.

    Isn’t it odd that the King is always downplaying Fox ratings, saying that when you take the entire population into account, almost no one is watching.

  • Permatiltx

    I’m new to this site, so got a bit confused from reading these comments. I’ll try to see if I can make sense of it all.

    1. NAACP is racist or they play the race card. I find that interesting as the entire organization is built upon the advancement of a race of people. If the NAACP came out and said Tea Partiers should not carry so many guns or stand behind the second amendment, well, then that’s just odd. See, the NAACP is about race so they are going to bring up race issues.

    2. The NAACP did not call the Tea Party a racist group. They instead said that the Tea Party should consider removing the racist element from their leaders (they did that successfully with Mark Williams, smart move). That is certainly a reasonable move. After all, the Tea Party are opposing a leader who is black, and with the racist signs or the racist talk within the group, it lessens the impact of their message. I’m not behind the tea party, but I have to agree with the NAACP that for them to be taken seriously, they need to get rid of the likes of Mark Williams (they did, good for them).

    3. I have to also say that, yes, the White House and Department of Agriculture are 100% in the wrong here. It’s funny how nobody seems to want to investigate video to make sure that it is real. We can manipulate (see ACORN video) to make it seem like its the truth. Heck, there’s video of the racist comments made by tea party members as the congressmen went to vote including someone getting spit upon and still a right wing member on this message board called it lies. The White House did jump the gun here, but I can’t take all the blame away from FOX NEWS. If FOX hadn’t caused so much trouble during the doctored tapes of the ACORN thing, then perhaps this story would be forgotten or left at the bottom. Now, FOX is not directly to blame for this, but there is something there to consider.

  • Permatiltx

    Now, I’ve just been called a loony lib. (I assume that’s means me.) It’s easy to call me names. Very easy. But I want to have a debate. If there are conservatives out there not interested in just strict name calling, but instead want to have honest real debate, would love to hear it. I assure you, I won’t call you names.

  • http://gordonbloyershow.com gordonbloyershow

    No news show runs an hour speech without editing. The question is whether the editing changes the meaning. The ACORN tapes were true to there meaning. 44 people were fired.
    Van Jones tapes were true. Jones fired.
    There was no FAKE controversy about ACORN or Jones.
    Breitbart played the total tape he had. The NAACP had the whole tape. They could have viewed it before they attacked Sherrod.
    A witch hunt is only bad when you know there are no witches. The Communist witch was Van Jones and Beck found him.

    It’s like O’Reilly says. We show it, you decide whether or not you believe it. Trouble is, with stories like Acorn, Van Jones, the black panthers, etc., the other networks don’t even show it. They don’t give anyone the opportunity to decide whether they believe it or not.

    Unfortunately the tapes for ACORN were doctored and they missed the meaning. We never saw the woman at ACORN trying to help the “prostitute” get out of her lifestyle, we saw the footage in a way made it look that woman was trying to get her tax help. With ACORN, they had a few rotten apples. Yes, that’s true. Much the same way the Tea Party has there. Now, the ACORN tape made allegations for the entire company, not just these bad apples and painted ACORN in a bad light (they are actually a decent organization that has helped the less fortunate in the past) and thus a charitable organization was taken down because the truth was manipulated. The full tapes show that some of the people felt the whole thing was a joke. Heck, one guy called the police on them after he said he could help them smuggle illegals into the country. Now, that’s a solid American there. Of course, that doesn’t fit the narrative so it was removed.

    I’ll admit I don’t know enough about Van Jones, so I won’t say yea or nea on the details of that one. The NAACP was in the wrong with the whole tape, they fell for the race baiting of Breitbart and shouldn’t have responded in that way. It’s unfortunate, because it’s a pretty good speech that she gave and speaks volumes about tolerance. Too bad it led to intolerance from these two sides.

    FOX’s power lies in its ability and its commitment to excite the easily excitable. It’s a very simple concept. The corollary is that FOX loses its power when it can no longer excite the easily excitable. I’m sure there are a number of FOX fans highly embarrassed today. As FOX’s credibility declines, it cannot excite as easily. It becomes nothing more than a corporate Michael Wiener. Of course, Murdoch will not let that happen. Above all else, he craves legitimacy, respect, acceptance. Whether we see or it not, heads are rolling today. That’s a metaphor by the way.

    You miss the point there child, who name calls; this is the Fox modus operandi. This is what Fox does. Fox is not a news network in any real meaning of the word. No one double checked Breitbart’s claim or video; they just ran with this apparently incriminating story, and they were wrong!

    Fox is there to tell conservatives and reactionaries what they want to hear. Senator Colburn had it right when, exasperated at the misinformation held by his constituents, he told them to to watch Fox and CNN. If you want real balance and have the time, watch Fox and MSNBC. Watch Glenn Beck and Countdown with Keith Olberman. Watch The O’Reilly Factor and Rachel Maddow. That’s the only way to even try to filter out the bias.

    TV wise, FOX News reported the story after the woman was forced to resign. So FOX News wasn’t behind her losing her job. The Obama administration’s fear of FOX News was though. Maddow’s clueless as usual.

    If the administration did ask her to resign that doesn’t mean that they “fell for it”. It may signify a much broader social problem. Not just racism but the lack of the general public to question any scandal coming out of the media. The public loves to hear about dirt and then react. Maybe the Obama Adminsitration realizes this and simply tried to curb the publics disaproval once they learned of the supposed scandal. Unfortunely, in politics it doesn’t matter if it is true or not. It only matters what the public thinks is true.
