So the MSM is suggesting this morning that the next time a RW lie is released into the wild..
The Democrats should not complain, just let it stand and roll around in the MSM for weeks while facts are checked by the victims of the lie, not the media.

Isn't this EXACTLY what the RW smear machine wants?

The MSM and the RW is the villain here, not people reacting to their bullshit.

3. And no mention of Republican obstruction of UI benefits today..
Even the WH is being trashed by Democrats.

Mission fucking accomplished.

2. They didn't bother checking the video before reporting the story in the first place

At least they're doing their job now that they got a good woman fired.

6. They trusted the NAACP.
Because they're a trustworthy organization.

Keep blaming the WH though if it makes you feel better. Faux thanks you.

9. I don't blame the white house. The NAACP made a mistake
But they corrected themselves, after the lady was fired.

I blame the media, which held back on the full story so they could let this racism charge gain credibility and play out for as long as possible.

11. If they go with a story and it is manufactured, that network is discredited.
These slimy RW liars are the ones who should be held accountable.

4. Yes, Shirley Sherrod has to stand up for herself
against Fox News, Breitbart, Rush, O'Reilly, Hannity, etc. Sounds like a fair fight.

OK in terms of combined IQ, they might be on equal footing. But, in terms of money and exposure, it's a zillion to 1.

5. The corporate media is rw. They're just a diluted version of Faux and Breitbart.
There's no real separation there.

7. Please be more specific...
I've been flipping back and forth between CNN and MSNBC and I haven't seen that.

8. Sorry, I can't.
It was just some pundits talking on MSNBC that prompted this post.

They don't get it, at all.
