Is Conservative Media Race Baiting America?

July 21st, 2010   (338 views )

WASHINGTON (AP) - A different picture is emerging, and it's led
the administration to re-think its decision to force an Agriculture
Department employee from her job. In an edited video posted on a
conservative website, Shirley Sherrod was heard telling an NAACP
group that she withheld some help from a white farmer years ago
because of his race. She says the complete version -- now posted by
the NAACP -- shows that she was talking about overcoming racial
bias.

Fox News and conservatives used the video to portray Sherrord as a racist.
This is not the first time conservatives have edited video to skew the
truth.

Race Baiting? Where have you been RNN? In light of the recent developments in the Journolist scandal I suppose you are giving the Liberal media a pass on this subject?

P.S. It's Race Baiting not Race Bating.

RNN, why are you blaming Fox News they didn't fire her? As a matter of fact many conservative commentators say she should not have been fired. Even when the left discipline their own, they try to blame the Conservatives. How ridicules!

I blame the Cowardly Democrats for firing her and allowing Right Wing Media to lie and get away with it.

ACORN, Van Jones, Sherrord, and who's next.

====================

In Germany they first came for the Communists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.

Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.

Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.

Then they came for me —
and by that time no one was left to speak up.

From what I have seen on this story,the media is going around the main issue,who gave the go ahead to break this story in the first place knowing it wasn't true?

And secondly what repurcussions should their be for doing it?

Sometimes what people do is NOT RIGHT, BUT DO WHAT THEY DO IN FURTHERANCE OF LIBERTY AND FREEDOM FOR THEIR PEOPLE--BLACK IN THIS CASE.

As a result, it is a whole new world.

TWENTY-FIVE ("25") YEARS AGO OF WATER OVER THE DAM--WHITE OR BLACK--25 YEARS AGO--WHEN PEOPLE DID WHAT THEY DID TO SURVIVE!

PEOPLE ALWAYS TAKE CARE OF THEIR OWN AND I DOUBT THAT WILL EVER CHANGE--RIGHT OR WRONG!

"I blame the Cowardly Democrats for firing her and allowing Right Wing Media to lie and get away with it."

"From what I have seen on this story,the media is going around the main issue,who gave the go ahead to break this story in the first place knowing it wasn't true?"

First off the clip was true, just incomplete, so their appears to be an obvious attempt to slant and deceive.
We all should champion truth and in order to do so, we all need to ask ourselves this obvious question:

Why would the left, who does not believe anything FOX news says, see a short clip and immediately fire this woman with no questions asked?

Why didn't the Administration question this woman about it beforehand. Why would they knee jerk and fire this woman with virtually NO pressure from the Public and when the public does pressure them for real issues, they are able to ignore them, no problem.

There is something real troubling and devious about an Administration that makes mistake after mistake almost on purpose and does not take full responsibility. They are the ones with all the power yet they continue to blame everyone else for their mistakes. They are cowards and devious at the same time. Think about it.

These progressive liberal websites and the mainstream media are the worst at race-baiting certain stories where it supports their agenda and then sanitizing stories that don't support their agenda. RNN is awful.

Certainly not! Its not in their best interest as it is universally known by everyone, that sort of thing is always left for the snake oil, left loving media to do. Besides, if it weren't for the Conservative media then the regular censoring by the heavily left leaning mainstream media would go completely unreported and no one would hear about most of the true events of the day.

Mike G. Because they are not liberals and progressives.

The Obama administration is right of center very similar to Bill Clinton's.

ACORN Head Bertha Lewis Vows Action on Employee Misconduct, But Warns Group Targeted by “Modern-Day McCarthyism”
September 17, 2009 / http://tinyurl.com/l693au
The anti-poverty group ACORN is coming under a firestorm of criticism after the group’s workers were caught on camera appearing to offer advice to a pimp and prostitute. The video was a major strike for conservatives, who for years have accused ACORN of voter registration fraud during presidential elections. Republicans are calling for a complete cutoff of all federal funding to the group, which helps poor people fight foreclosures, fix tax problems, and register to vote. We speak with ACORN chief executive Bertha Lewis.

You got great honest points here. I done a search on the issue and learnt most peoples will agree with your blog. When they find a recession and people unable to afford their services, their first thought seems to be, "Let's raise our car rental prices! That'll teach them to come to us." Last year in spring, putting your name down for a hatchback to rent for seven days, booked a week in advance, on average, would set you back about $350 - and that's nearly twice what was the previous year.

Twitter is one of the simplest services to participate in and it has many potential uses. Facebook has now evolved to an extent that now you just don't join Facebook to reconnect with your old acquaintances but also to play online games and even announce events or conduct business on a day to day basis.
