      The skipper seems to have lost some weight.

      And his little buddy isn't wearing his hat.

      So I can no longer refer to him as "that fathead"?

      I think FOX will continue to give Britefart a platform. Why wouldn't they?

        Because he's Breitbart? There are too many trick questions here this morning.

      No he hasn't. He can present videos on his website until the rapture comes.

      What he has lost is any credibility for future video releases that are reacted upon without closer inspection and a skeptical eye. He lost that right with those of us at MMfA a long time ago.

        Just you wait. The next time he releases one of his videos, FOX will play it and the rest of the media will pay attention, if not jump through the hoop. These lapdogs never learn.

      So the new line from Fox is that they didn't report on Sherrod before she resigned. A total lie.

      Oh, but it's okay because that was only online. Right. Good one. Guess that doesn't count as reporting.

      So when they did get the story on the air she had already resigned--end of story.
      Nope, sorry... not that easy.

      It doesn't matter what her job status was when Fox aired the phony story--it was still WRONG.

      You know, when you talk about the gap between online and airing a story I have to ask what was Fox doing to verify the facts of the story.
      Clearly, since the story was still the same, the answer is nothing.

      Truly great journalism, Fox. Your Peabody is in the mail.

      that's right, no one in the media will believe anything breitbart says. until the next time when the media needs something to boost ratings and will put up any crap that the right wing drags up from their addled brains. the media is really missing the story here. this is not about Sherrod or the NAACP or the whitehouse. this is about how the media is no longer a credible source of information. if they had any honor at all they would be absolutely vilifying breitbart and fox for spreading clear lies.

        Exactly. If the Real News Media had any guts, they'd revisit the Van Jones and ACORN stories, which were equally phony FOX fabrications.

      Sadly Breitbart in all probability hasn't lost one bit of credibility with his "followers". Whether it be this week, or next month, he will say something and Fox and the right wing echo machine will kick into high gear, and it will all start over.
