Naturally, we must discuss this. I am hoping this will change the Obama administration's approach to how they deal with the lies of the public media. It's very disappointing to see them cave so easily, costing this lady her job. I am also hoping people will wake up and realize FOX "news" isn't really news.

Wow, she got mega boned.    Soooo...has the practice of verifying sources and data completely been abandoned from the journalist community or what?  And shame on NAACP as well for trusting FOX outright on this.  It weakens their position to have trusted a news source they themselves claim is untrustworthy.

Indeed. What's worse is the White House fell for it. They should have waited until the entire footage of that video became avaliable to mainstream media. In the future they need to be careful with everything they hear from FOX. Unfortunately I doubt this will persuade regular FOX viewers that their station is a joke. Nearly the same thing happened a few months ago with ACORN (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0B0wxt3XYc)....
