WASHINGTON An embarrassed White House apologized on Wednesday to a black Agriculture Department employee who was ousted for her remarks about race, acknowledging that officials did not know all the facts when she was fired.
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs called the dismissal of Shirley Sherrod an injustice and a mistake. He said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack was trying to reach her to extend the administration's apology.

The Associated Press: White House apologizes to ousted USDA worker
After hearing the entire vid, I honestly think that the whole thing WAS blown out of proportion and even the White House got fooled by believing "the story."
I'm ashamed of myself, and feel a little sick to my stomach at the realization that there truly are NO media outlets that we can put our trust in.
