Morning AB, All...

thank you AB for doing this thread. Got lots and lots of news but for the hell of it, let’s start out with a comment about Fox News Sunday and the very, very honest and fine fellow, Howard Dean.

So they’re talking about Shirley Sherrod and Dean, first thing, jumps on Fox News and says “I think it was very bad for Fox News to have played that tape of Sherrod until they got the facts.”

The host, to his credit, points out loudly that Fox news did NOT play the clip until AFTER the administration fired the woman. Dean mumbles something about that not being right either.

Then Gingrich jumps in and says that the NAACP ALSO came out with a condemnation of the woman BEFORE Fox news ever played the clip and again, Dean mumble, mumbles.

So the host and Newt did okay but, as expected, The Wise I will finish the conversation as at the least NEWT should have done.

“You agree that the administration should not have fired the woman so quickly. You also agree that the NAACP should not have condemned her so quickly. And yet the very first words out of your mouth are to condemn Fox news for...after all, reporting the news which is what they do. Fox News does NOT fire people. Fox news does NOT condemn people publicly. Yet you first go after Fox News, Howard. One might think you’re working more on a talking point or political agenda than any sort of seeking of the truth.”

I got more in a bit. Lots of local Delaware news that will affect the nation.

I am, as expected, right in the middle of it all.

Heh.

Morning Fish,

Good job of capturing those bits of dialog.

Everytime one of them spoke I began to yell at the TV instead of typing.

Of course now I want to slap the has been race baiter.

Thanks.

Fox News does NOT fire people.

You might ask some of the former FoxNews hosts/hostesses about that. [I am thinking specifically of E. D. Hill.]

Fish, here is the radio program I will be on Tuesday at 4:30 Pacific to talk about Brayn Food. Should be fun.

Pray for America
