It doesn’t matter what actually happened. This is ideological war. And what’s the first casualty in war? Ya know, Fox’s ultimate goal is the reinstitution of slavery.

For you, I would agree.

You are one stupid asshole lib.

I fail to see why we are still talking about FOX’s role in the firing. No serious person has ever claimed that FOX had that role. FOX’s great vice is promoting and propogating the Breitbart lie, with such FOX personalities as Douchey and O’Hannity elevating Breitbart to sainthood. And, on that alone, FOX surrendered its credibility.

Spiro Agnew provides the FOX Netwok’s methdology: I promise I won’t deceive you except in matters of this sort.

Thanks for the facts! And thanks to Dan!

You got the facts right Steve, but I’m not buying your conclusion.

The administration didn’t fire Sherrod because they saw the video on Fox News, true.

The administration fired Sherod because a right-wing smear machine disguised as a news network that has repeatedly race-baited the White House with their “us vs them/Black against White” narrative EXISTS.

If that wasn’t the FOX M.O. then the White House would not have acted so rashly. They knew by experience that they could not expect fairness from FOX when it comes to race and that is what makes Fox at least partly to blame.

If there was no history of Fox race-baiting their would be no reason to act rashly.
I do believe Fox created the ATMOSPHERWE for this to happen and that is why they are to blame.

Fuck timelines..Fox has been doing this since Obama was nominated. There’s your timeline.

No, the Administration fired Sherrod because they’re morons. The Great Fox News Conspiracy may be their grandest fear, but that fear doesn’t excuse not doing any due diligence at all before FIRING someone, and making public announcements about it.

Big_F-ing_Deal said:

Steve K-

“But although it can be universally agreed that Andrew Breitbart is at fault for, knowingly or not, pushing an enormously out-of-context video clip, some want to put Fox News on the same level as Breitbart and BigGovernment.com”

First of all the conservatives have all come out from under their rocks to dispute
that “universal agreement”-they do not see Breitbart as being at fault and never will
hence why the NAACP pivoted and attacked Fox-Breitbart is a nobody and if you
have to wrestle with the right wing noise machine why go for the guppy-you go for
Fox. Note the WH wasn’t afraid of Breitbart but after seeing the nonstop loop
of the panther story what do you think the assumption was as to how fox would
cover the story? You think history wasn’t about to repeat itself? the white house
knows it has very little time to combat the 24 hour smear machine that is Fox
so they made a decisive move.

If anybody is getting a pass in this mess it’s Breitbart and that says alot
about the sad state of media in this country.

Bullshit

Breitbart is a HERO!

Can’t wait to see more tapes he has!

Good job Steve, while some of your loyal libs here refuse to allow facts to get in the way, some of us do appreciate a fair report.

When FOX covered it isn’t as important as HOW they covered it and how they covered it was “SHIRLEY SHERROD IS RACIST! RACIST! RACISTRACISTRACIST!!!” When FOX began covering the Sherrod story, they were reporting Breitbart’s take almost verbatim. Timing doesn’t really matter all that much.

FOX was as much a part of this hoax as Breitbart was and they don’t deserve a defense on the minor point of when they started screaming “RACIST!!!”

A surprise video of Barack Obama was presented to the ultra-liberal gathering of the Netroots Nation in Las Vegas on Saturday that included MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow listing his accomplishments.

What does it say about this administration that it wouldn’t find it at all unseemly to use the most left-leaning television network, along with one of its most liberal hosts, to propagandize political conference attendees?

Unconcerned with the picture this painted, Obama told the gathering, “Change hasn’t come fast enough for too many Americans…But I hope you take a moment to consider all we’ve accomplished so far.”

http://www.thefoxnation.com/rachel-maddow/2010/07/25/appropriate-obama-uses-nbc-news-anchor-pitch-his-policies

Unfortunately for Shirley Sherrod she has turned out to be the RACIST.

You really do find out what people are made of during the tough times….for Shirley this was a tough time.

Interesting piece about Rachel and Obama….interesting also that the only piece about Rachel and a politician on the board, is about Rachel and Rubio. Too funny.

Yes, Shirley did show her racism in the end of all of this, just as she had in the beginning.

The media went overboard criticizing everybody but Shirley….just like the media goes overboard calling the tea partiers racist, despite NO evidence of such.

Nice piece Steve.

I was glad ‘We Liberals’ took out a Tea Party leader. The conservatives thought they could strike down the NAACP with the Shirley Sherrod story but their plan backfire. Also the Shirley Sherrod story gave us a bonus by derailing Fox News’ ‘Scary Black Man’ campaign.

Well, juanda was partially right . fox does rule the Right Wing geezers, they even hate their grandchildren (especially the biracial ones) cause fox tells them to but the good news is as the geezers die out so will the geezer channel

She slimed herself.

“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.”

She also accused Fox News of racism, telling Strupp that “they are after a bigger thing, they would love to take us back to… where black people were looking down, not looking white folks in the face, not being able to compete for a job out there and not be a whole person.”

“Breitbart wants to take us back to the days of slavery.”

Uh-Oh!

FYI:

Yesterday, Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas, published a letter to President Obama calling for a special investigation into the Department of Justice decision to dismiss the voter intimidation case again the New Black Panther Party. Based on testimony of J. Christian Adams, the former Department of Justice attorney who worked on the New Black Panther case, Smith is concerned that “the Department has adopted a policy of enforcing voting rights laws in a racially discriminatory manner.”

Not even a secret racist. So, you are a 182 racist that may or may not have mother issues that seems to run away when people hit you head on. There’s a lot of self esteem issues running from you.

The recommendation is to not make him your poster boy. He’s got issues. Much the same way it was right to purge Mark Williams from the Tea Party. Right Wingers aren’t idiots, they do have good ideas and aren’t dumb enough to spout racist rhetoric. It’s just that sometimes the loudest ones can paint an unrealistic picture for a group.

ImJustThatDamnGood said:
ImJustThatDamnGood says:

I’m trying to picture you with a personality.

I can imagine a long line of ambulace chasers knocking on Sherrod’s door because her initial reaction to her firing is different from what she is saying now.

From the Politico:

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0710/39961.html

Asked about the NAACP’s actions during an interview with CNN on Tuesday, Sherrod said the only reason the video surfaced was in response to an NAACP resolution accusing the tea party of using “racist” tactics. “They got into a fight with the tea party, and all of this came out as a result of that,” Sherrod said.

The former Agriculture Department official also said she never heard from the NAACP to hear her side of the story prior to its statement on the video. “The NAACP has not tried to contact me one time, and that’s why this happened,” she said. “I would have appreciated having the NAACP at least contact me … to try to get the truth about what happened.”
-

Her lawyers probably told her not to repeat what she told CNN initially because that would take the focus off her and focus on the NAACP and Breitbart’s war of words. You can’t have libel against Bretibart and Fox News if there was no intent and a libel suit against the NAACP more plausible.

By the way, totally off topic, but you’re missing out if you haven’t seen “Inception” yet. Freaking brilliant film and unlike “Sex and the City 2″ and “Clash of the Titans”, it makes you think. Definitely going back to see it again, if not three times. Like “Fight Club”, it requires multiple viewings to catch things you didn’t the first couple times around.

You really should take the time to read these things. Verbose, sure, I’ll take that, highly accurate. Pompous, well, sure, that makes sense. I called myself arrogant and you typed that word into thesaurus.com. I am certainly glad that you started doing that. As far as boring goes, the same “stupid lying lib” and then the “child” thing got old really quick. At least you are expanding your vocab. I don’t know if I’m necessarily boring. That’s a matter of opinion. Now we also may never know if you thought of these slams yourself, or I had to give them to you. Possibly. So, the intellectual scares you as well? That would be why you would slam me for it. We know you are a)racist and b) have low self esteem issues. Now, you will call me a liar for this. That’s okay. I’m doing an analysis based on what you’ve written, similar to what you’ve attempted (and failed I might add) based on the words I’ve said.

Are you afraid that I may get past that shell of blind hatred that you use to protect yourself? I’m getting in there, aren’t I? The thing you should be worried about is that my comments start getting smaller and people start reading what I say. That you should be afraid of. People aren’t attacking you back for who you truly are. But I’m starting to get there. I wonder how much more I need to pull back before you see the monster inside yourself. Or do you not know he’s there? Or are you happy he’s there? (Or she, it could be female.)

Also, I know you know that your IQ doesn’t raise 12 points in one day. Meant to be funny or not, that, alas, is a stupid thing to say. (And a lie, just like the lying libs. Can I start calling you lying lib now. I think I will.)

I agree. FOX did get an unfair amount of the blame. And it’s too bad since it took away from the real story I think. A lot of people screwed up here.

I don’t get the left’s obsession with Fox News. Fox News has always maintained that their network is the alternative, to the typically liberally-biased politically correct media. How straightforward is that, coming from a news outlet? No one can be forced to watch Fox News, so turn the channel. The liberal media always goes with the politically correct slant on the news, in order [not] to offend particular groups or individuals, with the actual truth. I find it hard to believe, that most Americans prefer the sanitized PC version of the liberal news networks. Oh, wait, they don’t. This is why Fox News is Number One. LOL.

Did you just call me juvenile? Okay, well, I have to use your tactics. You seem to understand them better. Liar! You lie! I didn’t break down like a baby when you caught me lying. I took that like a man and apologized. Have you ever taken anything like a man? Just curious.

Juvenile? Well, my responses have been a lot of things, but juvenile may not be the best analysis. Now, you’ve called me a lot of names, more than I’ve called you I would say. You’re responses have been juvenile, and then like a catty fourteen year old girl, you went and badmouthed me in a different thread. One that I wasn’t even a part of at the time. Hmmm, I’m juvenile?

And I wouldn’t say I’m hurt. I’m having a fucking field day with this.

Here’s a perfect example of the PC liberal media; Fox News will report that Obama’s numbers are falling, due to his unpopular policies, while the liberal media will report that Obama’s numbers are falling, because whitey is out to get Obama. White liberal guilt usually results in projection of their own attitudes, to others. Always projection, never facts.

Steve, FoxNews.com/Fox Nation posted the video prior to Ms Sherrod’s resignation, prior to anyone vetting it. So Fox News (by way of the online platform) did report Breitbart’s “story” prior to Sherrod being ousted. Like other news outlets, I would assume that Fox News would vet everything going on their website as they supposedly do on their television channel.

Either

or

She has been wronged by Breitbart and is indeed not a racist and the Administration did the wrong thing in firing her and then apologizing.

Those on the Right can’t have it both ways.

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.”

She also accused Fox News of racism, telling Strupp that “they are after a bigger thing, they would love to take us back to… where black people were looking down, not looking white folks in the face, not being able to compete for a job out there and not be a whole person.”

“Breitbart wants to take us back to the days of slavery.”

The problem as I see it, the conservatives call moderates “liberal” . Liberals call moderates “Conservative”. I hear this all the time; and I know it is all relative… what I would like to see is the percentage of Americans who call themselves Moderate and not Liberal or Conservative.

What does a moderate stand for? Where have all the moderate republicans gone? Are blue-dog Dems. considered moderate by the right?

Most Independents actually believed Obama, when he offered ‘hope and change.’ In 2008, US citizens, in spite of party affiliation, viewed the Repubs in DC, as the scum of the earth, with their reckless spending and failure to regulate Wall Street, plus their arrogancy. Anything but Repubs, was sweeping the nation. I believe, personally, though, that Hillary would be president, if not for corrupt outside forces. Investigations by known Dems, are proving that Hillary should be America’s president, if you take away all the illegitimate votes cast. Now that Obama is president, and Dems are in control, most Americans are beginning to remember why they fired most of the Dems, in 1994. November’s elections will be, ‘anything but Dems.’ Americans have quite a problem these days, deciding which party is the lesser of 2 evils. Both are evil as hell.

You have proof this website is false? You think mentioning ‘Fox News’ makes this documentary false? Idiot.

liberal white guilt:

a belief, often subconscious, among white liberals that being white is, in and of itself, a great transgression against the rest of the world for which one must spend their life making atonement.

First let me say, I am a regitered Democrat. Now I want to say I saw Howard dean on Fox News and like a lot of things I hear am apaulled at this interview. I think Howard Dean is an idiot and should be sent home so he can’t hurt the party anymore. Being a news hawk, watching all the major news programs I can’t believe Mr. Dean wouldn’t acknowledge he was wrong about the fireing of Sherrod being started by Fox. This is a bald face lie and makes Dems look like liars. He is a sham. He has no idea what the people want, just like the Democratic party in office. I want the Constitution as law and it should be adheard to the letter. I am sick that this administration cares nothing about the people and aspecially small buisness, of which I am a small business owner. Small business did pay most of the taxes, hire more people, and when the housing market went down so did we. Nothing has been done to help small business. Money was given to Big Business and we were left to muddle thru with nothing. The middle class which is barely the majority anymore is shrinking at the fastest pace in our history and when we are gone the government, Democrats or Republicanwill be able to take over and do with us what they will. I know politicians lie, but this is totally wrong. Our president, Speaker Polosi, Senator reid, and the rest of this administration are liers and thieves and I am sick of it. We are being taken to the cleaners and the Republicans deserve to take over. As for me, if buisness as usual takes place in this election, I will not only change parties, but will revive my blogs and call for ouster of ALL Democrats. Once they are gone, maybe we can get back on track, live by the Constitution, and if neccesary get rid of republicans. Where are the Statesmen? Where is honesty, where is the integrity? It’s not in politics. All of them are crooks.

And is that your small business is running your blogs? You are a joke.

Steve Krakauer would have a point were it not for the fact that Faux News has peddled Breitbart’s racist agitprop nonstop with the phony ACORN videos and the New Black Panthers case.

Imagine if a killer has three victims cornered in a room. He cuts the throat of the first victim, then the second. The third victim knows what’s coming so he hangs himself before the killer can cut his throat, too. You can argue that victim #3 was stupid and cowardly, but do his actions in any way exonerate the cutthroat killer? Of course not.

But then, I’ve come to expect dishonesty and sophistry at Mediaite, a site that uses doctored video obtained from a white supremacist website as legitimate news footage.

Ok – you’ve covered well the one instance in which Fox News is not culpable in promoting racism or using race to hit the Democrats. Now, how about examining all those in which Fox News is arguably culpable? How about examining as closely the fake ACORN scandal, Fox’s involvement in Van Jones, the Tea Party promotion and the racism connection? If Fox is, as Fox has, going to repeatedly play the race card in its bizarre fashion, how about some analysis of that issue?

Oh, and we haven’t forgotten in this diversion that Andrew Not So Breitbart puts the yellow in journalism.

It is amazing the level of denial needed to overlook the facts and continue down a road of accusations towards Fox. The hatred for Fox is so deep that salient facts have to be avoided in order to hurl accusations at them in this case.

– The NAACP reacted foolishly without gathering all the facts, and tried to blame Fox before they touched they story.
– Ben Jealous also tried to lay the blame on Brietbart even though he admitted to not watching the entire video before calling for Sherrod’s firing.
– After spending time denouncing Brietbart/Fox/Glenn Beck, Ben Jealous then turns arounds and blames his foolish reaction on the fact that he was “snookered” by the entities he had just denounced.
– The NAACP pushed the WH to fire Sherrod .
– Obama tries to divest himself and his administration of responsibility, even as the NAACP went to them, and Sherrod herself said she was pushed hard by the WH to quit.
– Calls of Fox being racist are swallowed whole while no equal animous is applied to the NAACP for employing race-baiting in their speeches leading up to this debacle, or the constant racial accusations leveled against TeaParty members.

If Fox brings mentions race on the left they are being racist. If the NAACP mentions race on the right they are proving Fox is racist.
And somehow The NAACP and the WH can tell people Fox is an unreliable news source, then claim they were duped by that same news source. How do you make that contortion without looking foolish?

WE LIE ABOUT THINGS GREAT,

WE NEVER SHOOT STRAIGHT,
NEVER TELL THE TRUTH AT ALL.

Many on the left (such as Royal King) are looking at the Sherrod story as proof of their contention that there is no such thing as black racism. There were people such as Wright, Farrakhan, the panthers, et al, long before Breitbart, and there will be such people after Breitbart. And the left will continue to ignore their existence.

Then there’s a fellow by the name of Charles Sharrod: “We Must Stop The White Man And His Uncle Toms …”

Fox is not to blame for Sherrod being fired. People in the admin overreacted and were more worried about what was going to be on Fox that night {they had posted it on the web} than they were about the facts. She told them it was completely wrong and they still forced her to resign. That’s on the admin not Fox. What this story highlights is the repeating pattern on Fox to run any distorted crap they can get their hands on in order to attack the WH. and their agenda of fanning the fires of racism for politics. So shame on the WH for caving and overreacting and shame on Fox for doing this AGAIN, Let’s see what happens when they continue to repeat this pattern.

This story and the now dead horse it rode in on will be buried today at 3:00PM.

That’s all.

Mediaite is being disingenuous here. While it’s true that Fox did not report the story ON TV before Shirley Sherrod resigned, its popular Internet site FoxNews.com picked up the story and helped to spread it before her resignation. FoxNews is a larger entity than simple a cable station. And Fox did so with the same spin that Breitbart gave it. Fox wasn’t following the lead of the White House–it was following the lead of Breitbart.

The White House, NAACP, etc., were wrong in their denouncing of Sherrod without the facts. However, the Obama administration’s reaction was not something out of the blue or completely unexpected. Fox News is influential with a certain demographic of voters, so the things it says have real world consequences. Past polls have shown that Fox viewers know less about what actually happens in the world than the viewers of other stations because Fox deliberately slants its news. To deny that is to be blind to what’s in front of your eyes. Fox viewers polled as believing that Saddam Hussein was partially responsible for 9/11 and that we actually found WMD’s in Iraq, not because they are dumb, but because they don’t think critically about what their told.

I realize that Americans don’t like history and don’t like to think that the past affects the present in a real way, but that’s what is going on. For example, white people bitter about the civil rights movement want to pretend that racism is over and they don’t have to be nice to black people anymore. They want to pretend that everything magically became even now, the playing field is level (despite the fact that nothing was done to raise the millions of blacks condemned to poverty through years of Southern tyranny from that poverty), and women and blacks can’t complain anymore, and this despite the inequities that still exist and the abuses these groups continue to suffer.

However, the Obama administration’s reaction can be traced to the history of its treatment by Fox. The Obama administration has been bitten by this dog before. Imagine that every time you walk past a certain house, a dog runs out of the house and attacks you. Eventually, you would go a long way around to avoid being bitten again. Fox is a conservative attack dog that has relentlessly savaged every decision that Obama has made. Knowing that Fox influences voters and Republican statesmen, Obama has wrongfully chosen a policy to simply amputate a limb before seeing if it will get infected. By neutralizing Fox’s (and the rest of the conservative media’s) ability to capitalize on trumped up stories about reverse racism and lefty radicalism, Obama and his people just cut them loose.

I haven’t heard anybody on the left deny the existance of black racism. Sherrod’s father was murdered and nobody did a thing about it. Her husband was knocked down the steps to keep him from voting. Yet still, she had the spirit to fight agasint the racism in her heart. Let’s have some perspective. We don’t fight racism by using a microscope to examine every minor incident and making accusations. That’s being done to scare people and play upon thier racism and fears. With our first black president we can’t be afraid to discuss racism , but fanning the fires of racist fears is reprehensible.

No, the Administration fired Sherrod because they’re morons. The Great Fox News Conspiracy may be their grandest fear, but that fear doesn’t excuse not doing any due diligence at all before FIRING someone, and making public announcements about it.

In this incident I agree. They were completely wrong for forcing her to resign without even hearing her side and knowing the facts. That doesn’t excuse Fox for their nasty pattern of distorting the truth. The WH needs to have some nads in dealing with them.

ACORN went under because spinless congresscritters revoked thier funding and all the bad publicity drained thier donations. All investigations into the matter declared they were innocent. The videos were edited just as Sherrod’s were and lies.
Van Jones resigned because the story kept being hammered on and he felt it was hurting a new administration. He said some bad things but these were taken completely out of context to make them 100 times worse. I think he should have stayed and fought the bullshit.
The Tea Party is not racist. What the NAACP wanted is for the Tea Party organizers and leaders to denounce the racist fringe among them. The facts should come out. If Briebart hadn’t put this lie about Sherrod out there and Fox picked it up perhaps we could have an honest discussion about the issue.

@egaeus

There is only one major flaw in your blaming of Fox for these actions: For the week leading up to the controversy the NAACP was lambasting Fox and their ilk as racists and liars. Obama has done essentially the same thing since he was inaugurated, getting into a debate on the merits of Fox being a legitimate news source. Then how could both of these entities – after deriding Fox as a true source of news – claim it was the fault of Fox that they were fooled?

You cannot say on one side of your mouth, “Don’t listen to them, they lie”, then out of the other side cry because, “We listened to them, and they lied!”

What’s missing in this story is FoxNews.com. Fox, through their website, picked this story up early on in the day, not long after it was on lies about BigGoverment.com. That’s how the Administration knew that Fox was going to run this apparent racism on the part of one of their own officials.

Fox News did have a role in the firing of Sharrod through their website which obviously is being monitored by the White House.

The mainstream media and the Obama administration must stop cowering before a right wing that has persistently forced its propaganda to be accepted as news by convincing traditional journalists that “fairness” requires treating extremist rants as “one side of the story.” And there can be no more shilly-shallying about the fact that racial backlash politics is becoming an important component of the campaign against President Obama and against progressives in this year’s election. ~~E.J. Dionne Jr.

At some point Fox News certainly pushed this story more than other networks, without actually trying to talk to Sherrod. Rule one in news reporting: ensure the facts are correct and get all sides.
And the attacks were on her comments as being racist – from its news reporters to their commentators. I don’t know what Fox and Friends are, a hybrid. After the full tape came out and we learned she was tealling a story about her peronal growth in 1986 and O’Reilly apologized, Fox commenters continued bashing her. O’Reilly and Hannity (with the former CBS executive whose one note is bashing thos he feels are liberals in the media). Fox also is using the Sherrod situation to blast Obama for racial acts and poor managing. Breitbarth, who started this whole mess, gets a pass from Fox and is allowed to come on and blame others without being strongly questioned.

Wait, they told Shirley it was going to be on Glenn Beck that night. How’d that work out, GlennBeckReview?

In order for this type of narrative to be forwarded you have to be saying the WH is powerless against whatever Fox News says or does. Therefore when they spied a piece on foxnews.com they just KNEW what was going to happen, so they acted without looking over all the information. That makes them out to be a group of complete dolts, and Fox is actually running the country.

Egaeus, you have it exactly correct. You gave us the entire truth of the how, where, when and who. Unfortunately
many of the people who comment in Mediaite, only want to talk, not listen. I wonder if they are getting paid to say this nonsense in their comments.
Speaking of paid, you write well, I think the WH could use you.

In my humble opinion, the whole problem is Ms. Sherrod. She knew what she said. If she didn’t feel that it was racist, why did she allow herelft to be forced to resign? Her superiors are certainly chicken-little air heads if they were not aware of what she discussed in a public forum…even just a little synopsis would have told them not to sweat the details. Obviously, its all about how thing are preceived….

…and by the way, what about that lawsuit that she was so interested in filing? New job..pay off? What’s up with that Ms. Sherrod. Is there something going on beneath the surface that we all should know about you?

Everyone on the left wants to be critical of Fox News for race baiting. We all know it didn’t happen in this case or in any other case. They want it to be true so they throw crap on the wall and hope some of it sticks. They don’t care about truth. They just want to destroy anyone or any organization they feel is a threat to their agenda. Now, I know for a fact MSNBC has intentionally participated in race baiting with a lie. Back in mid-August of 2009 MSNBC’s Contessa Brewer and her talking heads on her show “Morning Meeting” showed a clip of a man carrying a semi-automatic assault rife outside a health care reform town hall meeting. Contessa quote “There are questions about whether this has racial overtones” …”white people showing up with guns.” Brewer failed to mention the guy with the gun was a black man. The gun was registered and he was just displaying his right to bear arms. To capture that video image of a man carrying a rife and not show the color of his skin and then imply it could be an angry white racist intent on doing harm to the president shows intent to lie and race bait. Fox News corrected MSNBC later by showing the unedited version – Thanks you Fox News! All news organizations make mistakes but this was a case of deliberate intent.

Give me your thoughts lefties.

NewsBusters: Even Liberal Mediaite Knows FOX Didn’t Get Shirley Sherrod Fired
http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2010/07/26/even-liberal-mediaite-knows-fox-didn-t-get-shirley-sherrod-fired

“Finally, here’s one of the most flagrant liars in this entire affair. On Sunday Howard Dean [sputtered]* as Chris Wallace explained to him how cause and effect work in the time-space continuum. You’d think that he would learn from his mistakes, but today he went on MSNBC and [flat-out lied]** about how Fox covered the Sherrod story on Monday, Day One:”

‘DEAN: I happen to like Chris Wallace, but he was really not being exactly accurate when he talked about ‘we didn’t say one word about this before the Secretary of Agriculture fired her’. The fact of the matter is they were pushing this story very very hard all day. It may be true that they didn’t mention her name, but they sure did run the tape without mentioning her name, and they cranked up this story…’

“The truth: the tape was [not played]*, and the story was [not reported]** on FNC until long after she had resigned. That’s not a matter of opinion; it’s fact. Sorry, there’s only way to say this. Howard Dean: you lie.”

I’m sorry but you are very mistaken. Foxnews.com did not pick up the story early in the day. The first mention of Sherrod on foxnews.com came around 6:00 pm that night. (The fabricated timeline from Media Matters places it around 12 noon, but that’s because it’s, well, fabricated.) That was at least an hour after Sherrod was already out of a job.

Others have pointed out that the Shirley Sherrod video appeared on Fox News websites not long after it was posted on BigGovernment.com. I’m not sure if any of the commenters mentioned this here or in Krakuer’s previous post regarding Fox News’ coverage (I’m certainly not going to parse the comments to find out), but, in addition to O’Reilly’s commentary, Sean Hannity discussed the original, edited video of Shirley Sherrod on his show with a panel of conservatives. Unsurprisingly, Hannity and the panel parroted many of the same unfounded accusations of racism that Breitbart initially made.

http://www.yaf.org/videogallery.aspx?id=483 (See the video dated [incorrectly] 07-18-2010. Obenshain was a member of the aforesaid panel. The show took place on the 19th, the same day Breitbart released his edited video).

@johnny dollar: You’re right with regard to Foxnews.com’s “first mention of Sherrod”. The story was entitled “Video Shows USDA Official Saying She Didn’t Give ‘Full Force’ of Help to White Farmer”. Though it is now dated July 20, 2010, the first comment by commenter tv1530 was posted Monday, July 19, 2010 at 6:22 PM (http://bit.ly/atElkL). Media Matters, however, never claimed that that story was posted at 12 noon, or any other specific hour of July 19, 2010. Media Matters only claimed that it was posted sometime on July 19 which is verifiably true.

Other websites affiliated with Fox News (e.g. TheFoxNation.com), on the other hand, did post the story shortly after Breitbart released his deceptively edited video. See for example: http://bit.ly/aM28FC and note the timestamp of the earliest comments. The earliest comment was by Amazingoly at Monday, July 19, 2010 at 01:41 PM (EST), well before Sherrod was fired and less than 2.5 hours after the Breitbart’s post on BigGovernment.com.

———-

Media commentators like Steve Krakauer and WaPo’s Howie Kurtz are letting Fox News off the hook too easily when it comes to its reporting of Shirley Sherrod’s public smearing and eventual firing. Fox News did pump this story, and it did so by perpetuating the same kind of fiction and scurrilous innuendo that originated with Andrew Breitbart and the rest of the right-wing blogosphere.

Stop making excuses for Fox News, Dan! FoxNews.com was “covering” the “Sherrod story” by noon of the same day Breitbart “broke” it.
