Shepherd Smith just led the 7:00 news hour with a story on the Shirley Sherrod case.
He stated that the original video of her speech to the NAACP (which was released by Andrew Breitbart) was EDITED to present her out of context.
Smith played the portion of the clip that included Sherrod stating that she did not give the white farmer all the help she could have.
Smith then stated that the full clip shows that this was taken out of context and then played the part of the clip in which Shirley said it was revealed to her it was not so much a black vs white thing as a haves vs have-nots thing.
But that part Smith was claiming puts her in context WAS INDEED IN THE EXCERPT THAT BREITBART RELEASED!
Both the part Smith claimed took her out of context AND the part of the video Smith claimed put it INTO context were part of the original excerpt released by Breitbart!

Shep is a liar and a boot likker, that is what is going on here.

Was Shep shedding a tear at the time? Was the fainting couch near?
Nobody got “snookered”.
This is a racist woman giving a speech to a racist organization who are giving the “amen” to her “get whitey” tale.
If she were truly sorry, she would immediately sit down with investigators and give a complete accounting of all the white folks she screwed so that they could be properly “compensated” for getting screwed by “blackie”...
No kidding. I watched him in New Orleans after the initial storm blew through as he was reporting live from Bourbon street (likely a favorite hangout for him and his homosexual buddies, before Katrina). He reported that the worst was over and the dikes held, breathing a big sigh of relief.
I'd like to see Breitbart run an uncut version of that news report to show how un-credible Shep is...
Watching Schlep? You’re a glutton for punishment.
Well, just shows that FOX NEWS is not as biased as the WHITE HOUSE claims.
After all, they got SHEP SMITH on twice a day. I'd say that pretty much balances out the right wing input.
If pretty is a factor for Fox time slots, may I propose that this lovely lady be given Smith's two slots.

“Somebody, somewhere is tired of her crap...”
So much for being fair and balanced, and you decide, eh?
With the exception of Glenn Beck, who came out squeaky clean, FOX News handled this whole thing terribly. O’reily yesterday was bragging he was the first to call for her firing, and today is saying he is apologizing to Sherrod. Hannity was also saying yesterday her firing was the right thing to do, and now he is doing everything to back away from yesterday’s reporting.
Is this a vanity?
You have Shep Smith as the author, and home page links to FNC, but the article looks like third person commentary.

“The media is very bad at selective editing and then releasing that to the public.”
How odd. The release I saw yesterday afternoon absolutely had the “enlightened” awakening for Ms. Sherrod in it. There was NO selective editing. But then the MSM declares it so, so it must be so, eh? No....it’s BS!
Truth, but thankfully, that person is not me.
Shepard Smith<-——I change the channel every time he comes on.
I don’t know, but they didn’t hit him hard enough. :)
