17. The piece blames each victim individually..
Without once mentioning Faux or Brietbart. Not ONCE.

How is that even possible? We'll NPR thinks it is.

18. Ever hear of accountability?
Can any random blogger put together a deceptive video, then when the Whitehouse has a completely knee-jerk reaction to it and lays someone off, does the random blogger get the blame, or does someone at the Whitehouse accept accountability? Can we really ascribe so much power to assholes like Breitbart that the Whitehouse is powerless against his ruse? Just where, exactly, does the buck stop? At what point is someone held accountable?

19. I don't think it is blaming Sherrod or NAACP.
Edited on Wed Jul-21-10 02:20 PM by Deep13
It is merely describing what happened. They should have mentioned Fox, but maybe they did not know to the extent it was fabricated. Anyone, leaving that fact out of an otherwise accurate account is not "worse than Fox."

20. "Leaving facts out" is EXACTLY what Faux and Breitbart did.
Maybe not worse, but certainly on par with Faux.

14. They had on a guy from FAIR, an SPLC designated anti immigrant hate group
to argue for the AZ law without any disclosure whatsoever about his affiliation.

And remember what they did when Howard Zinn died? They had that scumbag, David Horowitz, write the obituary.

2. Someone ought to bust a foot off in his ass.
He's vascillating because he knows some people still believe Fox despite being discredited. The truth doesn't matter, only appearances. Of course he doesn't seem to care about the appearance of giving in to a lie has.

6. NPR is reporting on a statement released 12 hours ago
I'm pretty sure Ms. Sherrod will be reinstated, likely today.
