Unbelievably shameful activity from Fox news and other conservative “news” outlets that ran the video produced Andrew Breitbart last week. Mr. Breitvart is the conservative blogger who posted the precisely edited video of Shirley Sherrod, a federal administrator in the Department of Agriculture . The video unfairly portrayed her as a racist and many Faux news commentators, like Bill O’Reilly, were quick to engage in the McCarthyism and character assassination fervor that ensued and demanded her resignation.
Well, the truth finally came out. The actual video showed that Ms. Sherrod was only using the story as an example of how we all need to reassess our own long held beliefs for any prejudice. There was no apology from Fox News. Although Bill did air what he called an apology, he still claimed he was correct.
Yet no one seems to want to hold these commentators accountable. Well, leave it to the foreign media to at least try. Here is a Spanish journalist trying to get some answers from Bill O’Reilly and, as usual, he only bleats and spits out nonsense.
