A timeline of Fox News NOT covering the Sherrod story

From Media Matters



Fox's initial reaction: "Racist" Sherrod "must resign"



O'Reilly: "Sherrod must resign," her remarks are "unacceptable." On the July 19 edition of his show, Bill O'Reilly played the edited portion of the tape and said "that is simply unacceptable.

I'm mad that FNC has such a huge legion of realty denying viewers. I'm also mad that EVEN WITH it's generally acknowledged bias, the rest of the media still gives credence to their politicized attacks.

Keith Olbermann Blasts Fox News Over Shirley Sherrod, Begs Obama To Stop Enabling Them (VIDEO)

Yes the White House was guilty of jumping the gun, out of fear that the FNC-istas would run this faux-story into oblivion, which they STILL would be doing had the unedited version not surfaced and Ms Sherrod hadn't been able to defend herself. Beck "defended" her as a means to slamming the the bigger fish, the Obama administration. KO is right unless the Obama-ites can learn how to marginalize the rightwing noise the next 2 1/2 years are going to continue with more of the same.

The ugliness within

An oxygen stealing d-bag like Andrew Breitbart could only thrive in a world where you have so much irrational seething anger towards Barack Obama. The right likes to make comparisons between the anger on the left directed at George W. Bush and the frenzy from the right directed at Obama. Lets see, Did Obama steal an election? Nope.Did Obama use a terrorist attack to implement a war of choice ? Can't say that I remember that happening. Did Obama use the power of commander in chief to subvert the Geneva convention and habeas corpus. Must have missed it when that happened. So I wonder where all this Obama hate is coming ? hmmmmm
