Listening to Rachael Maddow talking about how "FOX news is not news",
and getting on them for showing video of reverse racism.. Funny coming
from MSNBC with 4 viewers and the lowest credibility rate of any
minority media....

Not funny. You're an idiot.

Actually, I'm astonished your head didn't explode if you actually
watched Maddow. So kudos to you!
His opinion is informed by the wingnut media. There's no way he
watched the show, it was more likely cited by one of his news sources.

"Reverse racism." This is what he calls a black person who is a
racist. Nevermind the footage was taken out of context and the
segment was a part of a larger story that focused on becoming an
enlighted advocate on behalf of poor people rather than black or
white.

These people are little, petty humans. The freak is just one example
of their rampant stupidity.
Looks like President Obama and USDA head Tom Vilsack think Fox News is
News.
The Fox reporting was all it took for them call this woman numerous
times as she was traveling in Georgia, and make her actually pull off
the road to text in her resignation.
So somebody believes Fox "news."

Jim - Politicians are real suckers, ain't they?

And, they have since apologized and offered her a job. Clearly, they
screwed up, but they admitted it. That's not what the last guy in the
White House would have done.

Suckers: NAACP, White House, USDA.

Losers: Breitbart, Fox "News" Channel motormouth fools. Breitbart is
destroyed in polite society, and Fox is a laughing stock. Even their
prime "News" guy, Bret Baier, got caught lying.

Winners: Ms. Sherrod, CNN, Shep Smith of Fox "News" Channel (wouldn't
run the story)

Here's the timeline:
http://mediamatters.org/research/201007220004


I happened to be watching CNN when Tony Harris first interviewed
Sherrod, and Mrs. Spooner called in.
I expected a typical mea culpa and had already come to believe Sherrod
was a typical minor league black racist. I've known enough of them.
What a shock when Mrs. Spooner called in and said Sherrod saved her farm
and was a friend to her. And the look of joy on Ms. Sherrod's face at
that unexpected vindication brought tears to my eyes.
Compelling real time journalism.
At that moment I knew more about the truth than the NAACP, the White
House, all of Fox "News" and anybody else who wasn't lucky enough to see
that Tony Harris interview live and get the FACTS.
That's what real journalism is about.

Jim - Sometimes you get lucky. Sometimes you don't.

Don't forget Glen Beck, who had it right this time!

"By the time the conservative commentator took up the issue, the full transcript
of the speech was out and Mr. Beck was citing Ms. Sherrod — but as a victim of
administration recklessness. This time, he was right. "

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/22/op...thu4.html?_r=1

You mean he got it right after he got it wrong?
http://mediamatters.org/research/201007220004
"9:52 a.m.: Beck asks, "Have we transformed into 1956?" On his radio
show, Glenn Beck discussed the Sherrod story and asked, "Excuse me, have
we transformed into 1956, only the other way around?" Beck also aired
Breitbart's edited Sherrod clip."

He got lucky with timing to not make a complete fool of himself.
O'Reilly was too stupid to do even that. He was still ragging on her
hours after the facts became known.
That Beck is a real clown. You don't actually watch that crap, do you?

I read about it in the NYT. You are the one with the opinions about Beck.

You don't actually watch that crap, do you?


Bugs Bunny is a lot classier. On DVD no commercials too.
Fox went down a notch on the journalism credibility scale.
Now there's no notches left.
Lucky they have Shep and Chris Wallace.
But just Dick Morris and Karl Rove cancel them out.

Jim - A man of refined tastes. Except with women and beer.
