Why is the media wasting so much time on this?

Are you serious? This is a great story and very timely. It just goes to show how people will believe anything these days, and how others suffer for it.

only from a "left" angle spence. There is no way in hell this would have the same amount of attention if the shoe was on the other foot.
Im all for this lady and dont think she did anything wrong. I mean isnt the whole point of the NAACP to help african americans rather that whites? Why wouldnt she be applauded for saying just that? Why do we have to ignore the obvious?
Bill and Melinda Gates has a foundation that has BILLIONS to support minorites. Good for them, its their money. Would it be news that someone from their foundation said they passed up helping white people to help minorities? No.

That's a crock.

We're talking about a pretty large "news" organization caught fabricating a scandal that influenced the operation of the Federal Government.

There's no evidence the White House was involved, and this was confirmed by Tom Vilsack.

help, I cant see the forest, I cant see the forest, all these trees are in the way!!

"Late Tuesday, Jealous effectively retracted his earlier statement and blamed the media for the confusion.

"With regard to the initial media coverage of the resignation of USDA official Shirley Sherrod, we have come to the conclusion we were snookered by Fox News and Tea Party activist Andrew Breitbart into believing she had harmed white farmers because of racial bias," he said.

"Having reviewed the full tape, spoken to Ms. Sherrod, and most importantly heard the testimony of the white farmers mentioned in this story, we now believe the organization that edited the documents did so with the intention of deceiving millions of Americans."


FoxNews.com was among several media organizations that carried the story of the initial video released Monday.
It remains unclear who edited and released the shorter video.

Breitbart, who initially reported the story on Monday, said in an interview Tuesday with Fox News' Sean Hannity, that he received the video from "an individual in Georgia." He said he decided to post it on his website as an example of hypocrisy at the NAACP, which recently condemned racism within the conservative Tea Party movement.

Sherrod, in a TV interview Tuesday morning, said she lost her job because the Obama administration overreacted to the original story.

"They were not interested in hearing the truth. No one wanted to hear the truth," she said.

Spence - please elaborate on how Fox fabricated the story?

yep...there's no need to "fabricate" a scandal with this administration, there's plenty to go around...but Spence, if we hold the lame stream media to your standards in this case we need to permanently discredit a whole bunch of so called "journalists" for life

I suppose he feels obligated by his love for America. Or perhaps, he's just out to defend the Tea Partay at all costs.

This was pickup up by FOX News, the flames were fanned and the pressure for her resignation mounted.

Considering how much "news" is really made up, out of context or intentionally deceptive and malicious...that this led to the resignation of a Government official is indeed quite a story.

I agree too...Obama Hope and Change......they should give Breitbart a lifetime award like they did Dan Rather for his reporting of the forged documents regarding GW Bush...President Stuff-Your-Face and Fly-Your-Dog-In-His-Own-Jet while blabbering about "shared sacrafice" and "reducing carbon emissions" and "fat people" should shut down all alternative media and require all Americans to dedicate two hours a day to watching the mainstream Obama media to get the real truth and to get their minds right
