Because they thought Fox News "might" get ahold of the story?  That's a crock and she is being used.  Fox said when they did show the video that it was something that happened 20yrs ago and showed her saying she learned her lesson from that experience and it isn't about black and white but about people.  It wasn't even presented as a racist story.  I say again....the other media is lying about this pure and simple.

I heard the statement from Ms Sherrod herself, live on CNN this morning and this afternoon. It was 25 years ago. . .

Now, the smoking gun is the edited version came from Andrew Breitbart, one of Faux News favorite freelancers and guest speakers. It was posted online by HIM! Read the postings dammit! Breitbart refused to release the full version until after Sherrod was fired, and once she was he released it. . .

Moreover, the "subject" of that story in the video, the farmer and his wife, both went on live TV and made statements that fully support Sherrod's version of what happened back then, and both of them are mad as hell that she has lost her job over it. It was clear that Sherrod was caught unaware when the reporter first put the wife on the air, but clearly the farmers wife fully supported her. On Rick Sanchez's show this afternoon the farmer and his wife were interviewed from their home (televised) and both of them clearly say there is not a racist bone in this woman's body, and that she went to the wall for them and enabled them to keep their farm.

And you are not reading what I am writing.  They fired her because Fox News "might" make something out of it.  It is being twisted because the White House jumped the gun and did something stupid because they're starting to believe their own stupid lies about Fox News.  If you'd pay attention you'd see them jumping like crazy to cover their asses for being so stupid.  They can say Breitbart threatened them all day long but that don't make it so.  Where's the proof?  It's just their word period trying to cover their own asses.

While I have a feeling this horse is near death, in the interest of accuracy, I will post the latest story from AOL:

http://www.aolnews.com/politics/article/black-usda-official-shirley-sherrod-resigns-in-flap-over-white-farmer/19560922

along with the one from Fox News:

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/07/19/clip-shows-usda-official-admitting-withheld-help-white-farmer/

And just in case y'all want to get into timelines, both of them are date-lined today.

Maybe it's just me, but I get a distinctly different feel from these two reports.

Did you not read my above post?  Fox did not air the edited version period.  They edited the full version.  They did not do nor did they intend to do what they were accused of.  Get off that Fox News bad guy thing for petes sake.

  Get off of Fox lying ass, you got to be kidding.  Anyone who watches Fox is absolutely brain dead.  How could anyone with a brain can't see all of the lies they tell.  If they don't have news they make it up.

  You can take Rupert Murdoch, Fox News and :kazz: :me:

My, reading comprehension is your friend. I never said Faux news or Beck aired it, what I said is the video was posted by Breitbart, who posted it on his site and youtube. It went viral, and THAT caught the attention of Beck and Faux news. (NOTICE: I gave Fox the benefit of the doubt).

Now, according to what Lolly posted it appears Faux not only posted it, but continues to post it online. . . And Faux is continuing to assume the worst based upon an out of context statement contained within an edited version of the video.

You yourself said it was not racist, but Faux continues to list an inaccurate and false account on the matter, and continues to highlight the negative NAACP reaction despite an official retraction. . .

Yeah, "they're on it"!  :rolleyes:

The more information (accurate) that comes to light on this, the more I tend to agree with Sherrod. She is the victim of a knee jerk reaction to the situation between the NAACP and the Tea Party!  :yes:

No sure wasn't.  When ya'll figure out you're getting lied to about Fox you'll be a lot better off for sure.  In the meantime just go right ahead and make fun, follow MSNBC, NBC, and ABC, maybe CNN if they got scared off by the warning they were sent for airing a negative story last week, and remain in your cozy little world hating and putting down everything that disagrees with this administration.

  You forgot CBS, isn't it amazing, out of five (5) national news broadcasting corporations, only one  BSFOX, is right all of the time.  Are you out of your frigging mind :me:,  Get  your head out of your ass and breathe.  :waaa:  There coming to get me ha, ha to the funny farm we go  hee,hee.  :waaa:

If you watched Mr. Beck or Mr. Baier tonight you would have seen that both reported the story correctly - happebed 25 years ago when the lady was not working for USDA, corrected her mistake and learned a lesson. Not at all what you are saying. If you don't watch these shows how do you know what is said?

Because their wonderful loving fair minded newscasters on those other networks tell them... :wink:  I know, being fair minded and all that those other networks will have Breitbart on to tell his side of the story.  I mean it's only fair since they, the White House, lied about what went on to cover their butts.

Anne these people have no clue about Fox and how many positive stories about the administration they carry because they only listen to those other networks who suck up and never report the negative stuff 'cause they know if they did, like CNN dared to do last week I think it was, they too will get a stern warning from the powers that be.
