Shirley Sherrod: An interesting Timeline of events (wow its not fox new's fault)

[Ravi]

Your 'it was on Fox Nation' was in response to PP saying it wasn't on Fox News until Monday evening and his asking you if you knew if it was on cable news prior to Monday evening and if so, to post it. You responded with 'it was on Fox Nation', implying that Fox Nation is cable news. That's a lie, FN is an opinion site. Your opinion of the opinion site is irrelevant.

It's the "opinion" site of those on the payroll of FOX. So yes, FOX is responsible for the articles posted.

Really? I just created an account on Fox Nation and I'm not on their payroll. Try again.


Here's where the left is getting it's "blame Fox News" from, a poster's opinion on Fox Nation:

Amazingly

In this day and age, we cannot permit this type of racial one-sided decision making to continue. This lady needs to step down or get canned.

The left can't differentiate between a news site and an opinion site. That includes the administration too.

Then post an article there. Not a reply to an article, but an actual article.

Breitbart breaks the story late morning.

Whitehouse asks her to resign around 5pm.

O'Douchebag reports on it at 8pm.


And it's still Fox's fault that she was fired? Fox has a time machine now?

O'Rielly tapes his show early in the day. You don't really believe he stays up that late working? He has to have time to harass his female staffers. Remember, he's a "Republican".

IOW....the WH or naacp did not see o'reilly till 8pm...

why do you steal oxygen from trees?

And you don't think people at Fox talk to each other? Or other reporters? Or boast? Fox? Umm, do you believe that Fox is somewhat Arab owned? Do their Arab masters get some stories squashed? How long before Fox viewers start supporting the Taliban? After all, you believe everything else they say, right?

Twitter / The FOXNation: Caught on Tape: Obama Offi ...

Note the time stamp.

 

[Sinatra]

The originations of the incident came from the NAACP organizing an anti-Tea Party stance, with M. Obama making an appearance the very next day, thus giving the impression that the White House was complicit in this attempt to smear the Tea Party as racist.

Breitbart then posts a video showing members of the NAACP seemingly approving of a racist story being shared by Sherrod. The video becomes part of the ongoing story of the NAACP's anti-Tea Party stance, making charges of racism while seemingly supporting racism when it is applied to whites.

Then that story becomes greatly elevated by the Obama administration's cartoonish rush to judgement against Sherrod, and her firing/resignation, followed up by the White House apologizing and the NAACP's laughable claim of having been "snookered" - even though they were present at the very presentation by Sherrod just months earlier.

Fox News did nothing wrong - it simply reported the still developing story regarding the NAACP and its anti-Tea Party positions, and included both the initial edited video and the later full video as part of that story.

It is still uncertain if Breitbart edited the video, or was simply given the edited version. Hopefully that will come out soon, for if Breitbart did in fact do the editing, much blame will deservedly come his way.

The greatest fault for the entire story lies with the Obama White House - a clear case of bereft leadership, showing just how weak, thin skinned, and reactionary it has become...

You're right that if HE edited the tape in a prejudicial way, he should be condemned for that. So far there is no evidence that he did.

All the Fox News commentators later stated that the information they got that somebody in the White House had commented was incorrect but rather it came from the department office itself. And so they have confirmed that there is no clear evidence that Obama himself knew about it before the firing occurred.

Media Matters has it wrong too - on their first sentence, they mention Breitbart posted the video at 11:18AM. --> but they don't note that is PST. The other times seem to be EST.

Your link is to a story about the firing that did not happen until around 5 p.m. EST. So your version isn't stacking up either.

 

[Sinatra]

Thank you for that video - Breitbart makes the excellent point that I too believe to be a very important one - the NAACP members were openly supportive of the racism being shared within the context of Sherrod's story, and THAT is likely the more important aspect of the clip. The story should not be about Sherrod, but rather the NAACP members approving of racism against white people.

Then the greater importance develops as the Obama White House so quickly throws Sherrod under the bus, backtracks, and comes out looking utterly foolish and once again bereft of any semblance of leadership quality.

The NAACP is seemingly caught here engaging in open approval of racism while at the same time trying to disparage the Tea Party as racist.

Total hypocrisy.

At this point Brietbart appears to indicate he himself did not edit the tape - you can either take him at his word or not. That is of secondary importance to the entire affair though.

The two most critical components being the NAACP's racism on display, and the Obama White House's stupidity on display.

The originations of the incident came from the NAACP organizing an anti-Tea Party stance, with M. Obama making an appearance the very next day, thus giving the impression that the White House was complicit in this attempt to smear the Tea Party as racist.

The original article was posted last night. It said nothing about her being a racist, nor did it call for her to be fired. It simply said that the entire video wasn't shown BUT the part that was did appear to show the woman as being a racist.

You are the biggest liar on the planet. You would lie about anything, no matter how much proof was presented to you, and you wouldn't recognize the truth if it punched you in the nose.

 

[Sinatra]

Breitbart is not the story.

Fox is not the story.

The NAACP's approval of racism and the subsequent overreaction of the Obama administration is the story.

And that folks, is just how it is - deal with it.

There is only the word of someone with no credibility that he didn't. He has not named anyone and no one has come forward.

Every news outlet on the planet shows clips without a disclaimer that the actual event was of a much longer duration.
