So often, when a conservative speaks ill of a black, he's called a racist. Attacked because of his skin color.

Did you seriously not understand my point?

Just how many times does the left throw around the allegation of racism, when it only has out of context snippets? Very often. Isn't that obvious?

People throw around that charge all the time, yes.

Did liberals ever get a Bush administration official wrongly fired after a media firestorm based on lack of fact-checking over it?

I asked for a similar case, not your interpretation of reality.

Her remarks are straight up racist. Not wanting to help a farmer because he is white and directing him to his own kind. What part of this don't you get?

Are you telling me this girl is not a racist and/or never has been one? What are you trying to get at here?

She was a racist... in 1985.

(if you listen to the whole story, not just what you were spoon fed by a gleeful Fox News, the incident she was referring to took place in 1985, as Ms. Maddow pointed out, the year was directly determinable because she named a specific farm overhaul bill passed that year as part of the story)

Remember who said Strom Thurmond would have been a good president?

Faux News sure is desperate to find a controversy. They make themselves look like douchebags every moment they are on the air.

Sure, they look for controversy. that['s what the public wants, and what the networks give them.

Are you excluding the others over this controversial issue thing, or do you believe they are better?

They are all the same in that regard. Controversy sells.

Please be fair about this and blame CNN, MSNBC, and the others also, because they constantly do, exactly the same thing.

Fox News gleefully aired the story as "she is a racist now and that is affecting the way she does her job".

They didn't do any fact checking, they just ran with it.

LOL @ you for being sucker enough to beleive you are told the entire truth by Fox News. :lmao

Not really

CNN doesn't sit around and talk about "right-wing media" and how it is constantly lying to anywhere NEAR the degree that Fox "news" pushes that storyline, you know it.

You're right. They are a "Wright-free zone" and they fact-check SNL skits that are critical of Obama.

Breitbart, Fox, hate media fabricating shit and outrage again.

Through and through, conservatives/Repugs/hate media iare nothing but slander and lies, bad faith, fake outrage, fake principles, cheap shots, childishness. They Can't Be Serious

It really pisses off leftists that they don't have an outright monopoly on all media. They only control about 90% of it.

We weren't the suckers.

The NAACP, the WH, and her boss were.

Mr Dildo. I have heard the entire speech.

Her remarks are straight up racist. Not wanting to help a farmer because he is white and directing him to his own kind is racist. What part of this don't you get?

It's Rachel Maddows.

The funny thing is the White House shit canned this girl and now they want to blame FOX. Fucking halirious!!!!! The blame game continues with Obongo

The safest assumption in dealing with hate media is to assume they're lying, because they always are.

One of the biggest lies is that libruls dominate media, when Fox and all the hate media really have captured the media
