Can you give an example of any Fox reporting for which it should apologize?
We've seen this one, for example. Can you quote any part of it for which Fox should apologize?
FOXNews.com - Video Shows USDA Official Saying She Didn't Give 'Full Force' of Help to White Farmer
Yes, yes I can.
FoxNews took a video clip from Andrew Breitbart and ran it, on the air, without an kind of verification process, in a clear attempt to assassinate the character of Ms Sherrod.
They succeeded to the point where she was fired from her job and her reputation was scarred beyond measure.
That is, until the rest of the tape was pointed out to FoxNews by OTHER PEOPLE.
Fox should have done the research before trying to get someone fired. That's what's known as "GOOD REPORTING" or "JOURNALISTIC INTEGRITY".
Because they shamefully and eagerly participating in this blatant attempt at slander and character assassination, FoxNews DEFINITELY owes Ms Sherrod an apology, at the very least.
I agree with almost everything you wrote except for the part about the character assassination of Mrs. Sherrod. I think they were going after bigger fish than her. She was just the cream on the top of the pie. They wanted to smear the NAACP for hypocrisy and the administration with more accusations of hiring "undesirables".
They should have gotten the full video first, but had they, I doubt this ever would have been a story at all.
