There is something really wrong with the state of journalism and government in America.
For years, I’ve heard people echo the millionaire blowhard Rush Limbaugh’s claim that the media are liberal. How does that square with the case of Shirley Sherrod, who was tied to the tracks by the White House the NAACP as the Angry White Man Express came steaming down the tracks?
Sherrod, a black employee of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, recently gave a speech about how she overcame her own prejudices, stoked by the murder of her father by a white man, and the subsequent failing of the justice system to jail anyone in connection with prime. Leave it to a “conservative” blogger, intent on proving “reverse racism,” to publish a video clip of Sherrod, talking about how, because of her prejudice, she didn’t want to help a white farmer in need of assistance.
