This gem showed up today in the obituary of civil Rights activist Rev. Charles Sherrod as to his wife:

Quote:
She was forced to resign in 2010 after the right-wing blogger Andrew Breitbart promoted a video of a speech she had given, deceptively edited to make it seem as if she advocated discrimination against white farmers. When the full video surfaced a few days later, the Obama administration apologized and offered her a different job. She declined.

Folks that consider Breitbart a credible news outlet should consider that.

Breitbart died a decade ago.

"But it's not the first time Sherrod faced off against the federal government. Days before she was appointed to the USDA post last year, her group reportedly won a $13 million settlement in a longstanding discrimination suit against the USDA known commonly as the Pigford case."

NPR Media Bias Fact Check: "Overall we rate NPR HIGH for factual reporting due to thorough sourcing and accurate news reporting."

Breitbart, Gateway Pundit, Alex Jones, FOX are not credible sources. You want to be gaslighted by partisan media who want to keep you blind and spoon fed conspiracy theories? Why? Be a truth seeker. Stop being used.

Major media outlets along with cnn, msnbc, etc have crossed the Rubicon, using the bridge of absolute lies and misleading information which burned behind them to turn their credibility into ashes. Never will they regain people's trust.

I like Breitbart. They tend to cover stories that our mainstream media is not interested in covering, so that’s why it’s appealing to me.

As with any news source, they have a point of view.
