What a lesson for us in the media.  Video showing Shirley Sherrod of the USDA in Georgia created such a firestorm.  She was accused of being a racist over the one comment during a speech before the NAACP.  That comment was aired on Fox and CNN.  But we come to find out that there was more to the speech.  When you heard the entire story she was trying to make a point about herself.  Needless to say the one comment caused her to lose her job.  A day later a red-faced CNN aired the entire speech.  I'm not sure what FOX did.  But a good lesson for journalists and media outlets.
