What She Said

Mega dittoes to the Anchoress, who had the same reaction to the Breitbart-Sherrod tape that I did but expressed it more cogently than I ever would have managed.

UPDATE: We will hear her explanation from the private sector; Ms. Sherrod has been forced to resign, but has this to say:

But Tuesday morning, Sherrod said what online viewers weren't told in reports posted throughout the day Monday was that the tale she told at the banquet happened 24 years ago -- before she got the USDA job -- when she worked with the Georgia field office for the Federation of Southern Cooperative/Land Assistance Fund.

Sherrod said the short video clip excluded the breadth of the story about how she eventually worked with the man over a two-year period to help ward off foreclosure of his farm, and how she eventually became friends with him and his wife.

"And I went on to work with many more white farmers," she said. "The story helped me realize that race is not the issue, it's about the people who have and the people who don't. When I speak to groups, I try to speak about getting beyond the issue of race."

Sherrod said the farmer, Roger Spooner of Iron City, Ga., has since died.

Evidently that explanation did not sway the Powers That Be.  Fox News coverage is here.

Sure hope we see that video on Fox News. We won't see it elsewhere.

When I watched it I sure had the same thoughts about something redemptive being on the way. If it turns out there is, Breitbart will take a hit for it. My guess is he's too canny for that.

[MayBee]

I hope there is something redemptive.

But it is pretty shocking that it is ok for a Government appointee to have the thoughts she did before she found redemption, and while she was on the government payroll. Even if she changed her ways, she held her position while she was a wildly racist person, and was not afraid to act on it (she didn't do all she could).

"His own kind" is simply unacceptable.

[Extraneus]

Don't know about the TV news, but here's the story at FoxNews.com.

And what sickening video that was. Both clips, just sickening.

[Clarice]

I heart the anchoress, but she is a far better human being than I am. I found both tapes revolting.

[Captain Hate]

To me just as shocking as the presentation is that nobody in the audience had a WTF response.

[boris]

While that attitude is not unexpected to me IMO it is better for them to own it and work on it than for us to look for ways to excuse it.

[Janet]

Think of all the classes govt. employees have to take to be sensitive to that stuff. I think they have to take a yearly online quiz to make sure they know "acceptable" behavior.
I wonder how she did on the quiz.

Shirley Sherrod resigns from federal appointment

[Danube of Thought]

Happy birthday, MayBee.

[MayBee]

Yay! xoxoxox, DoT

[daddy]

It depresses me but unfortunately it does not surprise me.

[daddy]

Not your Birthday Maybee, that video:)

[Clarice]

Tweet is right--there's nothing on the news but this on twitter:
Stage_Right‎: RT @AndrewBreitbart: Shirley Sherrod resigns from federal appointment after @biggovt video exposé of shock NAACP racist dinner boast: ht ...
Twitter - 18 minutes ago

[Clarice]

Now Fox is reporting it
Fox News is reporting that Ms. Sherrod has resigned. From Fox:
“There is zero tolerance for discrimination at USDA, and I strongly condemn any act of discrimination against any person,” Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said in a written statement. “We have been working hard through the past 18 months to reverse the checkered civil rights history at the department and take the issue of fairness and equality very seriously.
Sherrod explained in the video that, at the time, she assumed the state or national Department of Agriculture had referred the white farmer to her. In order to ensure that the farmer could report back that she was indeed helpful, she said she took him to see “one of his own” — a white lawyer.
“I figured that if I take him to one of them, that his own kind would take care of him,” she said.
The video clip was first posted by BigGovernment.com. The clip is dated March 27 from an NAACP Freedom Fund banquet.
So, the USDA has issued a statement. We’re still waiting to hear from the NAACP.
Presumably, they will denounce the racism in the video has strongly as the Obama Administration has.

[Jane]

Wow, I go out for a few hours and look at all that has happened.

BTW my radio show has been moved to thursday for 3 weeks and then it is off to Boston.

[Extraneus]

It wasn't a problem until now. I wonder who was in attendance at the speech.

[Danube of Thought]

This guy Breitbart has become a national treasure overnight. Where did he get that video? If he's been sitting on it for any length of time his restraint and his sense of timing are the stuff of genius.

I don't have the facts, but it is clear that in making this appointment Tom Vilsac acted stupidly.

[Clarice]

Jane, I'm so proud of you.

Breitbart's holding lots of stuff, I think.

He's probably our October surprise.

[Extraneus]

AP at HotAir says Breitbart tweeted the following less than an hour ago to his buds at Media Matters:

“Hey @ericboehlert & the mostly male Caucasian @mmfa ’senior fellows’: Get some rest. Tomorrow’s gonna be long day & first of many in a row.”

[Janet]

From the Anchoress post - "There is a second video at Breitbart, btw, which shows Sherrod basically telling people that they should get government jobs, because they’re almost impervious to layoffs and firings. That offends me,..."

Almost impervious...

[Jane]

Well thanks Clarice altho it is really hard to tell if we are dealing with merit here or convenience.

[Clarice]

Wow, extraneus, normally I hate getting up in the morning, but I could change my mind. Breakfast with Breitbart...Mmm mmm mmm

[daddy]

Will the alphabet media cover this?

Just caught the last part of Brit Hume on O'Reilly tonight (not all so if somebody saw it all please verify) but essentially Brit seemed to be saying that he understood how somebody like Bob Schieffer could be so clueless as to not be aware of the Black Panther Case, because they are all in a bubble chamber only listening to each other inside the bubble.

So the question is will the usual suspects in the MSM again simply let this racist video and Sherrod's resignation slide on by? My guess is that with her resigning they have to at least acknowledge it. I'm guessing page A-22, Saturday, 1 paragraph attached to a story hammering Tea Party racism, and zero coverage from MSNBC. I also think CBS will do a 30 second take on it due to Schieffer's recent ">http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2010/07/18/bob-schieffer-i-didnt-ask-holder-about-black-panther-case-because-i-just-didnt-know-about-it"> less than godlike omniscience on the Black Panther's:

"I was on vacation that week. This happened -- apparently, it got very little publicity. And, you know, I just didn't know about it.
I mean, you know, God knows everything, but I'm not quite that good. Every once in a while, something will slip by me. And in this case, it just slipped by me. If I'd have known it, I would have asked about it."

[Captain Hate]

There is a second video at Breitbart, btw, which shows Sherrod basically telling people that they should get government jobs, because they’re almost impervious to layoffs and firings.

This bothers me as much as the previous content because this is the NAACP giving their stamp of approval to a career path which is almost guaranteed to be unfulfilling, Nowhere is there any encouragement to the entrepreneural spirit, which isn't for everybody but offers to the right people the best chance for personal realization of their potential if they work hard and smart. But to do this would require the NAACP to look hard at the continual cycle of dependency that characterizes fatherless households and do more than go "tsk tsk" at it. This calls for major behavioral shifts which I can't imagine happening in my lifetime.

[Janet]

I'm guessing page A-22,

Yeah daddy, in the WaPo it is a little section on A-22 called News in Brief or Digest. 2 or 3 sentences. Lots of important stuff is there.

[Extraneus]

The Drudge link is to a cbstv.com story, so it's not all foxnews.

Love that Vilsack statement accusing the USDA of being a white racist organization during the Bush admin:

“We have been working hard through the past 18 months to reverse the checkered civil rights history at the department and take the issue of fairness and equality very seriously."

[Clarice]

Brit's right-they only listen to themselves which is why they are missing everything.
Worse, all the content is selected by young producers of the Mary Mapes sort who don't even know there's a bubble.

[Danube of Thought]

Ms. Sherrod has just enlightened us as to why Michelle is always encouraging young people to go into "public service."

[Clarice]

Ext., I think it wasn't under Bush but for a very long time white farmers were given preference. Under Bush the govt settled or attempted to settle litigation to compensate for past discrimination. I'd have fought tooth and nail against it then just as i'd have fought Ms Sherrod now. I hate this stuff.

[centralcal]

I think you nailed it DoT!

[Extraneus]

Yeah, I've heard a little about the black farmer stuff, but the way the statement was worded seemed to imply that it was only 18 months ago when things started to "reverse," coincident with the lowering of the oceans.

[Clarice]

TS emails that Breitbart just twittered that he's rescinding his offer of $100k for the journolist archives and wishes Spencer ackerman good luck in whatever new profession he chooses.

What do you suppose that means and it is related to the twitter about Media Matters?

[Jane]

This bothers me as much as the previous content because this is the NAACP giving their stamp of approval to a career path which is almost guaranteed to be unfulfilling

This is what AA hath wrought.

[rse]

CH-

Don't forget that under the student loan part of Obamacare pursuing the entrepreneurial dream means you'd actually have to pay back your college loans.

That won't affect who goes into the private sector.

The community service push is about putting kids in environments they find horrific so they'll become "agents for change" in society's injustices.

No I didn't surmise that. I've read it as the proclaimed reason.

Sorta puts dropping the final exams at Harvard into context.

They don't want us to know anything or to be able to think analytically.

Only to feel.

[Janet]

This is what Spencer Ackerman's wiki page says -

"Story about what Andrew Breitbart revealed on July 20 2010

Pending."

[DrJ]

Who is Spencer Ackerman and why should I care?

[Captain Hate]

No I think it's something even more pernicious than that; more like taking the path of least resistance and not achieving any autonomy in your life. I always knew the NAACP would become useless as it tried to justify its existence in a changing world; I just didn't think it would become so at odds with any reasonable taison d'etre.

[Clarice]

I just posted that on the other thread--LOL.
I'm staying here..it's a shorter thread.

What could this be..Is it tied to media matters.
Ackerman already was fired for insubordination by TNR for making nasty comments about his employer..Now he writes for Wired..

[narciso the harpoon]

He was one of those bitter enders at the New Republic who moved onto Fire Dog Lake, because it wasn't radical enough

[Clarice]

TS says Daily Caller's is printing Ackerman's jurnolist stuff..
"Dave Weigel just tweeted (and apparently has deleted the tweet which is weird) that the Daily Caller has a story on Spencer Ackerman's emails

"@daveweigel: So, the Daily Caller will publish a story going after Spencer Ackerman's JList emails. Will be surprised if anything comes of it."

[DrJ]

OK, so he is an idiot kid with no life experience who claims to be a journalist. Again, why should I care?

Sorry to be grumpy, but this sure looks like inside ball.

[narciso the harpoon]

Mind you he has some good pieces on McMaster joining Petraeus team in Wired lately

[Danube of Thought]

Who is Ackerman? Why would Breitbart rescind his offer?

[Captain Hate]

btw my last comment was in response to Jane.

rse, I wish I could argue with anything in your last comment but I can't. Just when I thought schools couldn't be any more useless...

Does anybody know if Leon Botstein still comments on education? I can't imagine him being anything but catatonic regarding no finals. He's a lefty but one who hasn't completely lost his mind; ie he knows the public schools are spewing garbage in his direction at Bard College (assuming he's still there).

[JM Hanes]

I dislike misleading cuts, no matter whose ox is being gored, so I sincerely hope that Breitbart is editing his tapes in a demonstrably responsible way. It would be important even if were only a matter of protecting his own credibility. Vindication feels great, but I'm hoping Breitbart can succeed in removing scales from other eyes, where so much else has failed.

As for Vilsack, whether his 18 months is political or merely descriptive, the fact that he's essentially making (and feeling the need to make) a public commitment to the equal treatment of whites as well as blacks, widens the playing field on that issue -- and suggests that the DoJ contretemps is not just a one off deal. The NAACP, itself, has also inadvertently held up the race card up for inspection. They've opened up the once sacrosanct political door which has always protected them from criticism, and Breitbart just walked through it.

It's the overreach, stupid!

[Clarice]

I suspect that if the cut contained redemptive stuff, we'd have heard that.

The floodgates are now open for others to contact Breitbart with stories similar to the Sherrod one of which I believe there are more than a few though probably not yet al on video.

Dr J, I'd think this was just another of those stupid IT inside games, but Ackerman is a bad guy--he and Judis were big on the Plame big lie and what is it about a lepard and spots.

I have a feeling this is not a small thing.

Who funds firedoglake and why?
Isn't media matters a Soros operation?

The suggestion Breitbart makes is that Ackerman is about to be totally discredited in even that low form "profession".

[Clarice]

Well--more from ts this time on the Sherrod tape:

Breirtbart just tweeted (about Allah's post that there must be a unfair edit in the Sherrod video) :

"How many times can anono-blogger @allahpundit write same piece in which he raises specter of me falling on face while I stand in end zone?"

to which Allahpundit responds

@AndrewBreitbart Haha. Dude, I said I trusted that your edit was fair

[Captain Hate]

He was one of those bitter enders at the New Republic who moved onto Fire Dog Lake, because it wasn't radical enough

Marty's really had the motherlode of Children of the Corn, no? Not a one of 'em worth a damn...

[Clarice]

Think how damaging the Sherrod tape is to this Administration whose major selling point was a post racial president--the notion of a civil service filed with people like Sherrod, backed by "respectable" civil rights groups , whose aim is never getting fired and getting even with white folks. And this just as the black panther story and DoJ disparate enforcement stories hit public consciousness.

[centralcal]

Wow, things seem to be getting interesting, Clarice.

To rescind the $100K offer, says Breitbart doesn't NEED to offer any reward now.

Oh - I see you have found that Twitter can be informative after all! lol! Unlike Facebook - you don't have to really contribute anything, you just try to follow the right people, or hope that the people you follow "re-tweet" all the really good stuff.

Anyway, that is how I view Twitterhood! ::grin::

[Captain Hate]

I see you have found that Twitter can be informative after all! lol! Unlike Facebook - you don't have to really contribute anything, you just try to follow the right people, or hope that the people you follow "re-tweet" all the really good stuff.

I've never seen AllahPuke's career path described so succinctly.

[narciso the harpoon]

This is Ackerman's latest, makes em want to take back anything I said earlier

[centralcal]

LOL, Captain! You can be so damned funny and so precise at the same time! I am envious.

[Clarice]

Well, CH, he was a Harvard professor so you know he can pick personnel...HEH

[DrJ]

The suggestion Breitbart makes is that Ackerman is about to be totally discredited in even that low form "profession".

Pond scum sinks lower than whale sh*t. Story at 10!

I do trust Breitbart's nose for a good story, but leading with a journalist I've never heard of, and seemingly, will never again hear of, is just not that interesting.

We'll see tomorrow, I suppose.

[matt]

look, we've got it all wrong. We should be thanking our bureaucrats and giving them our support. Now that they have taken over 60% of our economy, they are working harder than ever for the American people.

I have started a program writing letters to "Any Bureaucrat" just like people have done with our military. These can be tailored to almost any department or agency or branch of government. We can thank NASA for not sending manned rockets into space or the Department of Agriculture for subsidizing huge agribusinesses or any of literally hundreds of thousands of programs. The possibilities are, quite literally, endless.

We need to reach out to our overworked and underpaid bureaucrats and show them the love. For all of you having a hard time thinking of themes, the LUN might be of some help.It's just a start, but by 2012, we might be able to really show them how we feel.

[Rob Crawford]

This is what AA hath wrought.

There was a piece I started to read today about the history of this...

Ah:

But by the end of the decade, the civil rights movement had fallen to pieces shortly after King’s assassination in 1968. Black Power emerged and whites were discouraged from joining or attempting to join anything supposedly free of white control.

Integration was out, self-segregation was in. That’s the way it actually was.

This was intellectual pollution. It is now known as “identity politics.” A toxic form of pretension, it had certain memorable ingredients. They were all conveniently superficial. Big hair styles, name changes, African clothing, combat boots, reading the combative works of Frantz Fanon and just about anyone from anywhere in the world ready to call white people dirty names and blame capitalist Western culture for the troubles of the planet.

Full text, LUN.

[Please don't tease Mr. Breitbart.]

Yeah, I think he doesn't need the journolist anymore, and I'm trying to think why I have heard of Spencer Ackerman. Maybe it was the Plame stuff.
==================

[Clarice]

I don't go to twitter.I'm old ..this is about my speed. But TS does and she's emailing it to me and I'm sharing it with you.

And let's not get into texting.Either..Though Iowahawk who's probably almost my age seems to have mastered that nicely. OTOH he's a business executive who was a professor of hard sciences at a leading university so I've a good excuse for not keeping up with his skills.

[Rob Crawford]

I've never seen AllahPuke's career path described so succinctly.

Hear, hear!

Allahpuke's primary interest -- based on what he posts to HotAir -- is anything that slanders Palin.

He must feel so small in comparison to her.

[Clarice]

Ackerman and Judis wrote the first story or one of the first IIRC.

[Captain Hate]

Well Clarice, with no finals to give he can devote more time to making the right choices. The only reason I even partially care about Marty is that I think he hates Lurch as much as I do and has articulated it extremely well. Although I wonder if he's taking Al or Tipper's side....

[Captain Hate]

He must feel so small in comparison to her.

He's used to feeling that way when MegaMac allocates a few seconds to her BetaBoy

[Clarice]

He backedObama.With that I lost all respect for his judgement.

[Captain Hate]

Yeah agreed; his judgement has taxed my patience so much I've run out of other ways to look

[bgates]

Breitbart said he'd pay $100k for the Journolist archives, and he promised he wouldn't out whoever gave them to him. He never promised not to cast suspicion on any of the other juicebox punks. My best guess is that Breitbart got the material, and from somebody besides Ackerman, but he figured somebody had to take the fall for it....

[bgates]

JMH - I thought there might be something to the Anchoress' argument too, but doesn't Sherrod's resignation rule out the chance of hidden redemptive material?

[Amarissa]

CNN showed the video a few minutes ago!

[Ignatz]

OT, but nice article by Nobelist Vernon Smith on the triumph of Porkulus and the brillinat idea of more of it.
As Pyrrhus said; any more such victories and we're lost.

[Clarice]

no bgates. I don't agree. I think he did get the emails and didn't have to pay for them, but that the archives are really devastating to Ackerman.

What I don't know yet if his stuff on media matters relates to Ackerman or something else.

Anyway, it's all good.

[Ann Squaredance]

There seems to be a preponderance of evidence that the tea party patriots are the only ones that are not racist.

Tops tweeted this new one:

Brown Berets Harass American Patriots

[DrJ]

You know, I don't think I mentioned this, but my faculty appointment actually is in Arizona. In spite of my living in CA.

Somehow that seems fitting after the toxic brown beret clip.

[narciso the harpoon]

And it looks like Berwick is going for Senate confirmation after all,

[Bill in AZ sez it's time for Zero to resign]

Clarice, twitter is easy and - almost - as much fun and informative as following JOM. You just don't get the pics Ann posts. errr, wait, Ann? twitpics?

[Danube of Thought]

I agree that Sherrod's resignation settles the question of unfair editing.

I completely misunderstood the rescission of the $100K--I was thinking about the racial-epithet offer.

I'm slowly catching up, I guess. But there's a hell of a lot of media inside baseball being played here. You folks will have to lead me along by the hand.

Frank Luntz just said his research says GOP takes the house.

[Clarice]

Bill I'm already suffering from TMI (too much information) and TMTSOMY too much time sitting on my ass).

Yeah, it's complicated for us oldsters.
I hope the emails show him bragging about making something up and getting it believed or something even worse.

[Bill in AZ sez it's time for Zero to resign]

An example of effective use of twitpics from @RealSheriffJoe:

This is a message to smugglers who may think law enforcement is not prepared to encounter them in the desert. http://twitpic.com/25v2gc

[Bill in AZ sez it's time for Zero to resign]

the twitter stuff comes in on my phone - you could get it between laps in the pool :)

[Ann Squaredance]

I saw that narciso and I can't figure out why after Obama sidestepped the confirmation process two weeks ago when he appointed (crammed down our throats) Berwick while the Senate was on recess for the July 4th holiday.

Does he have Brown, Snowe, and Collins as yes?
After the WV senator is sworn in, I guess he only needs one??? I know he is up to no good but what is it?

[Clarice]

An interim appointment would be over jan 4. If he can get him confirmed, he's in as long as Obama is.

[Topsecretk9]

Clarice

I haven't read through all, but

What could this be..Is it tied to media matters.
Ackerman already was fired for insubordination by TNR for making nasty comments about his employer..Now he writes for Wired..

Posted by: Clarice | July 19, 2010 at 09:45 PM

There was a time that Jane Hamsher was sort of universally hated within the left blogs for making nice nice with Grover Norquist and various other issues (against HCR because of no public option and a few more I can't recall) But anyhow lots of lefties were very pissed at her. Spencer could have pulled the same MO as he did to TNR biggies.

He has a blog on Firedoglake called attackerman

Happy Birthday Maybee!!!!

[Topsecretk9]

Oh and Clarice

My guess --and it's obviously guessy speculation -- is he trashed his employer and so many others in the field he'll be uniformly hated within his profession, hence Breirtbart's mentioning he'll need a new line of work.

What I find odd is that Weigel memoryholed his post on the daily caller scoop and expecting nothing to come of it.

[Stephanie]

“The difference between the tea party and the naacp is if you are looking for racists at the tea party you look at the fringe and if you are looking for racists at the naacp you look to the stage.” Ouch

From Insty in the comments on the CBS site.

Must have more popcorn! And Reese's! And Dammitall I'm gonna be on the road tomorrow for a golf tourney with the daughter. If she places well, she will be in the championships at Callaway Gardens next week. I guess I'll be checking twitter between shots (another good thing about twitter - it's highly mobile- smart phone- and does it's thing without any prodding, the updates just keep on keeping on).

[Ann Squaredance]

I understand that, Clarice, but now the senate can expose what an evil a-hole he is my replaying his death panel delights.

[So, elsewhere.]

Western Chauvinist, a commenter at the Anchoress's says that in Breitbart's interview with Cap'n Ed he said that he says that some other media outlet has very damning evidence of media collusion with the administration, and that it will be released this week.
======================

[Danube of Thought]

Listen, has anything like this ever happened before? I am talking about the overwhelming predominance of gorgeous women on our side. Not just the endless supply of extremely hot babes on Fox News--I understand that Ailes delights in how they infuriate the left--but also all of the candidates, and the political consultants who keep showing up as talking heads.

And they're all arrayed against Susan Estrich, Eleanor Clift, Rachel Maddow, Janeane Garofalo and the rest. I'm telling ya, that contest is a bloodbath.

[Dave (in MA) --->>> BO Stinks <<<---]

I completely misunderstood the rescission of the $100K--I was thinking about the racial-epithet offer.

The Jwhorenolist offer was announced a few months after nobody came forward and claimed the imaginary N-word reward. He said the money was burning a hole in his pocket. It's not as though he was in any danger of having to pay-- unless some lefty audio engineers were going to overdub a previously-uncirculated video footage with N-utterances.

[Clarice]

And that's a GOOD thing, Stephie?

TS I think that's a very plausible explanation.

[Topsecretk9]

So elsewhere

some other media outlet has very damning evidence of media collusion with the administration, and that it will be released this week.

Media Matters?

[Ann Squaredance]

Ah, Bill in Az, thankies!

Haven't twittered much but I do try and follow. What is your twitter name? Mine is SoteroSucks in honor of bad (ObamaSucks was already taken.. dammit :) )

[JM Hanes]

matt:

I have started a program writing letters to "Any Bureaucrat"

ROTFLMAO!

[Topsecretk9]

I wondered if Weigel memoryholed his comment

So, the Daily Caller will publish a story going after Spencer Ackerman's JList emails. Will be surprised if anything comes of it.

Because he was alerted lots of things would come of it. Would be interesting if he was alerted the premise of his whole tweet -- Daily called having the scoop -- was very wrong and Dave just himself was doing a smooth over speculation tweet. That might cause his to delete a tweet if someone in the know informed him it wasn't Daily Caller.

[Ann Squaredance]

Will be thinking of you and your daughter, Stephanie. Good Luck!!!

[Stephanie]

It's actually pretty useful. The updates que and you just hit update and you get the latest 125. If big news is popping, everyone has links to the latest and if you have Breitbart, SnarknBoobs and some of the other righties in your main follow, voila! the latest and greatest are at your fingertips.

[Clarice]

Media Matters wouldn't expose ackerman-it's probably the ringleader of an administration journolist cabal.

Do we know who outed Weigel? Would it be the same person?

Maybe it isn't a journolist who got the archives but someone else with access to a journolist's hard drive or emails.

[Stephanie]

Thanks Ann. We are going up a day early as she is playing about 2 1/2 hours from here and her tee time is 8:00 am. I didn't really want to go driving in the N GA mtns at 4:30 in the morning, so we are going to stay at Amicalola Falls Lodge and visit Helen, GA and some other stuff in the area and be about 10 minutes from the golf course.

[Topsecretk9]

No, I don't think anyone thinks Media Matters would expose Ackerman -- I think Breirtbart's tweet about Media Matters and his tweet about Ackerman are two separate stories about to drop.

[Topsecretk9]

Oh wait, I should say not Breirbart's tweet about Media Matter's, but his tweet TO media matters.

But commenter "SO elsewhere" pointed out a comment at Anchoress detailing AB's interview with Ed Morrisey saying

"some other media outlet has very damning evidence of media collusion with the administration, and that it will be released this week."

And I wondered if the media outlet might be Media Matters -- but then no, because they aren't a media outlet, they are just the DNC's media propaganda machine.

[Clarice]

Could be. Media Matters is I think a Soros operation and is staffed with the most disreputable critters..Nothing he digs up on them would surprise me.

[Topsecretk9]

Of course another option for media outlet having "very damning evidence of media collusion with the administration" might explain Keith Olberman's sudden 2-week vacation and his executive producer suddenly quiting and going to work for fill-in Scary Larry.
