Fox News/Breitbart fans, please justify this?

About this Sherrod thing.

Ok, there are a lot of different angles to this story, the NAACP, Obama’s response, the speech itself. But there is one angle which I feel has been painfully under reported. Andrew Breitbart is an influential Internet reporter, and in this case, perhaps others, he didn’t bother to check his sources. I’ve never taken a journalism class in my life and I think that’s pathetic. It’s like a doctor not washing his hands before surgery. It’s an embarrassment to journalism ethics.

And yet Fox only mentions this in passing, and his only appearance on Fox was on Hannity! HANNITY. For God’s sake, if he showed up on O’Reily he would have gotten drilled to the wall on this issue, but he picked the one host who would look past his complete and utter failure as a journalist. You can see it all in a video entitled "Andrew Breitbart Defends Sherrod story" It’s found right next to the video called "NAACP Race Card Fraud"

Now I’ve heard the reason that Brietbart didn’t have the time. But how could he not have the time to fact check a video that is years old? That makes no sense to me. Nor can I understand why a network that prides itself on being fair and balanced, and according to O’Reily is as a result increasing viewership completely ignore this angel to the Sherrod story. Could somebody explain this to me.
