Breitbart, Fox and Their Rush To Judgement

[Jarhead]

I would love to know how anyone could feel that Breitbart was set up? Wasn't HE the one who started this whole charade?

I dont think he was set up. I think he screwed up...and bad.
He lost my confidence. I will never believe what comes off his site without further investigation.

But I heard rumor yet to be able to confiurm it that Jealous was in the audience when she spoke. If he was, why did HE rush to judgement?

In MY HUMBLE OPINION, Breitbart did not even screw up. I believe he spliced the tape together the way he did because he had an agenda. His agenda was NOT to report anything truthfully or honestly.

Yep...I agree....but when I said "he screwed up", I meant he ruined any credibility he had as a journalist.

Only a partisan fool would not see through his agedna on this one.

But for anyone to say that the same does not take place with the Kos, The Huff and MoveON.ORG....well, that is ALSO being a partisan fool.

Would love to see ANY of those blog/rags post a panoramic photo of a tea party rally....shoing how most if not ALL signs are not racist or perverted.

The Obama administration has been after Fox News for a while now.
What I want to know now is... who leaked the editted video to Andrew Brietbart in the 1st place?
Knowing he would most likely take up the cause


The way I see... its a setup from the beginning. This lady is A POLITICAL HACK!

How the heck did the mainstream media find the white farmers (Mr. & Mrs. Spooner) so fast? Wow what a surprise.... they are going to be on Mrs. Sherrods' side in this matter.


They (radicals on the left) are trying to put a wedge of racial hate between Americans, and they want to ride in on their "white" horse to supposedly save the day.

Americans had better wake the Hell up, before its too late!

Well, since it is well documented by Faux News that bajillions of Tea Baggers show up at these events on a regular basis, I do not see how a panoramic shot would be legible....
<yes, this has been heavily laced with sarcasm>

Yep, and Congress and the rest those nuts in DC better start paying attention, beacuse "change" is coming!

 

[txlonghorn]

Sorry, traveler, the only rush to judgment was by this incredibly inept administration. As is now a known fact, they forced Sherrod's resignation before Fox aired any video. So you're barking up the wrong tree. Direct your anger at the rookie in chief and the clowns he's surrounded himself with.

HA! That will be the day! LOL

 

[LibocalypseNow]

I love it. This President always blames everyone else for his disastrous blunders. He fired this woman. Fox News and Breitbart did not. Just another distraction attempt by this dazed & confused White House. They just can't seem to do anything right. Their Blame-Game routine is getting to be pretty lame though. Most Americans are completely sick of it. They are failing miserably and their Blame-Game stuff just seems so desperate at this point. This Dem-led Congress just registered the lowest approval rating for a U.S. Congress in history as well. 11%?? YIKES! Time for real change. Give the Socialists/Progressives the boot!

I personallyt dont know if you are right or wrong. It is a very credible theory...especially when you throw in how quickly they found the Spooners and how ironic that a man that appeared to be so "superior and arrogant" toward another race would be willing to step up and say how she helped him.

But I need more eviddence than that to say it was a set up.

If there is more evidence, it will come out.

Doesnt matter.... the Kool-Aid drinkers among us are going to tow the radicals line for them. Just like good little drones.

All I have for my theory is my gut, and it is usually correct.

Maybe Hopey Changey should just pull over and resign immediately? I think that would be what's best for our nation at this point.

Then they would say that "The -racist- Man" made him resign.

Oh, and somehow Bush would be blamed.

As the dust settles on the fake racist story surrounding Ms. Shirley Sherrod, the one thing that must be remembered is that both Andrew Breitbart and Fox News failed to proper journalistic prodcedures and in doing so showed a clear lack of ethics.

The big push now, on Fox of course is that "Breitbart was set up." Poor Andrew is now the victim. Not true

Breitbart had an obligation to insure that the video clips he used gave a full, complete and accurate portrayal of the events as they transpired in the meeting that Ms. Sherrod was addressing and he FAILED TO DO SO.

Breitbart claims that he asked "The relevent clips." The adress by Ms. Sherrod to the N.A.A.C.P. lasted 40-Minutes, yet only the clip made available lasted at best 2-minutes, and was heavily edited. The clip of Ms. Sherrod attempted to show that she was addressing a very recent meeting of the N.A.A.C.P., when in fact the clip shown dated back to at least 1986. In 1986 Ms. Sherrod WAS NOT an employee of the United States Department of Agriculture. In fact, Ms. Sherrod did not join the federal work force until 2009. At no time did Breitbart make any attempt to let people who would view the tape know that the meeting was over 20 years old, nor did Breitbart attempt demonstrate that Ms. Sherrod, at the time of vid, was NOT employed by the Federal Government.

Breitbart, who claims to be a journalist/blogger failed to do the most basic of research on this story, and instead used a doctored tape in an attempt to show an African-American Woman, a State Employee telling an audience that she had engaged in discrimination against a Caucasian Farmer.

Fox News, who claims to be "Fair and Balanced" did not check the validity of the tape, nor did Fox attempt to proper research on the meeting, where the meeting was held or when (1986) the meeting was held. Instead of doing basic source checking, Fox ran story after story of how Ms. Sherrod, a Government Official had engaged racial discrimination against a poor White Farmer. Never mind the fact that the Farmer, who has since come forward to say that Ms. Sherrod treated him fairly and did the very best she could for him and did in fact save his farm, has said he considers Ms. Sherrod a friend.

In the past both Breitbart and Fox have been caught using heavily edited tapes to create stories that in the end have proven not to be true. The "A.C.O.R.N." scandle comes to mind. Where some wanna be right-wing tool, dressed as a pimp and a woman wearing a skirt that went all the way up to glory, taped (without permission) staff of A.C.O.R.N. offices giving "Advice" on how to bring in under age girls to work as prostitutes. Fox played this footage day after day, calling A.C.O.R.N. out for helping a pimp and hooker to bring young girls to work for them.

Well, it turns out that the tape(s) used in that story were in fact edited for content and in no way actually, honestly, or factually showed what transpired.

In fact, "Pimp" boy is now facing criminal prosecution in California, because under California State Law, it is IN FACT AGAINST THE LAW TO TAPE AN INDIVIDUAL OR INDIVIDUALS UNKNOWN WITHOUT THEIR PERMISSION!!!

Fox and Breitbart have shown time and again that rather than attempting to discern fact from fiction, they are about sensational stories that have little or nothing to do with reality.

Breitbart is once again proven to a liar. Fox is hardly fair and balanced.

Anyone who uses them as a source should remember this. Unless of course your more interested in posting lies than the truth.

And who was it that accused an innocent cop without all the facts?.....LMAO!

Who was it that ordered the racist bitch Sherrod to resign, without all the facts?.....LMAO!

Obama has shown time and again that he's more interested in protecting his image, his vacation time, his boatloads of free golf, and his free use of AF1 to fly all over the fucking place while accomplishing absolutely nothing, then he is in effectively running this country.......It's become quite clear that Obama can truly lay claim to the title of "most inept and sorry excuse of a president in american history".....That title can NEVER be disputed.

Oh well, it was only the truly ignorant who voted for that incompetent moron!

 

[Truthmatters]

The right concocts a false story about a black woman being a racists and you think it was planned by Obama?


you are bat shit crazy

 

[Rinata]

This is why now more than ever, regardless of how 'sensational' a "Breaking News" story is, one must take it with a grain of salt until all the facts are in. I have fallen for this nonsense too many times in the past and posted a 'gut reaction' comments to something that turned out to be total nonsense and misrepresentations, distortions and flat out lies.

The bad part is that for those who are the 'target' or the recipient of such stories suffer substantial damage to their credibility, even when they stories are retracted or 'corrected'. Like statements made in court before a jury and the judge orders them to disregard the testimony, the statements are already placed in the minds of the jury. Someone should be held liable for these 'errors in judgement'.

What do we do to correct this, 'tool', used by many, to force changes in public opinions which enhance agendas at the expense of the subject(s) or organization(s)?

I agree completely. My Grandma used to say that she didn't believe any big news story until she heard it from Walter Cronkite. I personally don't remember much about him, but I remember that Archie Bunker always called him a communist on All In The Family.

At this point?? You thought the same thing during the inauguration. You're not fooling anybody.

 

[Yurt]

Kinda leaves one wondering about the NAACP, the USDA and the WH rush to judgment.

But, whatever floats your boat ther Traveler.

exactly, but the libs don't care about that, they only care about bashing fox and conservatives

True that!

And as Obama continues to screw up everything he touches, the desperation of the liberal loons will only increase.......Not that I mind though. Listening to these liberal idiots is just pure entertainment.
