Check The Facts

I have always had the opinion that when I hear a story that seems too good to be true I should check it out even more that usual.

Thus when I heard the latest about Sharrod making what seemed to be racist remarks I held my piece.  At first glance I understood that the woman was a racist.  When I began to think about it I began to realize that there seemed to be something wrong.  I could not put my finger on it but I had a gut feeling that there was more to this than what was first reported.

Sure enough, we all know that the comments were taken out of context.

What is interesting is that the White House, NAACP and the MSM all rushed to denounce this woman based on the comments that were taken out of context.

Here I do not defend Breitbart.  He has a history of embarrassing the MSM covering their sins of omissions.

But I know that the first thing one should do when they hear this story is to check out the facts.  It is all too easy to destroy a person with the pen.

I should at this point give a shout out to Glenn Beck who refused to join madness.  He did the decent thing and checked with Ms. Sharrod.  Yes, the fanatically right wing commentator actually checked the facts.  When he discovered the facts he refused to go along.

But he was one of the few. 

And we know that it was the White House that demanded she be axed.  It seems that Glenn Beck knew something that Obama and his underlings did not.  That we have to check out the facts before we do something.

But this is all not that new.  The MSM have routinely misquoted those who they disagree with. 

And they ignore racist and inflammatory statements when it goes against their Leftist ideology.

Remember their statements that they could not find any inflammatory statements by Obama’s pastor for 20 years, Reverend Wright. 

Yet they were quick to jump on Revend Hagee’s when there was unfounded accusations about his being an anti-Semite.

Media Matters is an organization has a record of taking comments by Conservatives out of context.  Yet they are believe by the MSM.

In other words, the MSM has an agenda.  When the evidence refutes their ideology then they will do their best to change the facts.

It is important to remember the great words of Grouch Marx on this matter, “What are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?”
