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!

The she said today... on I believe cnn... that Fox News wanted to take blacks back to a time when black folks would look down when a white person walked by... not competing for jobs and succeeding in America... to a point in time when blacks were not considered a “a whole person”. This leftard *unt is a ****ing racist b!tch. Like Patton... when I want it to stick... I have to give it “down and dirty”. There it is.

He’s a fag Jim.

The really interesting part is that Schlep kept bragging that HIS show refused to run the clip because of the source whereas it was being run continuously on other shows. (Although he didn’t name them, presumably he referred to Megan, O’Reilly and Hannity.)
This interecine sniping against other major headliners on Fox is not likely to be looked upon kindly by either management or the ratings stars of Fox.
Schlep must think he’s more powerful at Fox than he is. Hubris leads the way to personal and career destruction.
Bill O’Reily just said he is cutting Obama slack on this whole thing, and is not holding Obama accountable. Shep and Bill shows back to back is almost too much.
“edited the tape to make Sherrod appear racist”
Am I wrong in thinking editing means cutting and splicing together? Was this done?
I watched the video and it didn’t appear to me that it was edited, just not complete.
The point was the audience thought she was going in one direction, but she went with something else. But the part where she lets them know she basically saw the light was left in there at the end. So where’s the editing?
Thank you , so very much, for the link.
He did the same thing at the 3:00 hour. I accidentally left the tv on. I can’t stand him. He’s an idiot.

That’s typical Shep. He did the same thing in his earlier show at 2:00 Central. I don’t usually watch it but it just happened to be on and I heard him say the same thing then.
so why didn’t fox news say that last night.
they were given the selective bits or they went out of their
way to skewer her.
I saw the same thing. One of the first times I’ve watch Shepherd Smith in months - and this is one of the exact reasons why I switch the channel when he comes on. He doesn’t strike me as the type of guy that will admit he was wrong.
He isn't aging well.
Pay no attention to Smith. I refuse to watch that buffoon.
I love Dana. She does a good job, and she’s pretty but she always dresses like a lady. (I am a woman, so I am not favorably impressed by the trampy way some of them dress.)
Dana Perino...
“Somebody, somewhere is tired of her crap...”

Why do you say that?
Smith is part of he “fair and balanced.”
He often takes the left’s side.

Shemp is a well known douchebag. His leftward list (almost typed lisp) is balanced only by his massive ego.
Pay the boi no mind.
