When Blogging Goes Wrong

Andrew Breitbart. This Guy is a perfect example of how bloggers that think they are journalists can ruin not only the credibility of other bloggers but people’s lives.  So he says that he wasn’t aiming at Shirley Sherrod but at the NAACP and their racist views. Whatever.

He totally cut and pasted her speech in a way that paints her as a racist and now that he’s been caught refuses to back down. His credibility is shot so he might as well give it up right?   Wrong!  Think again.

I think that he was wrong and that the USDA, the secretary of Agriculture and even someone at the white house was wrong and jumped the gun on asking for her resignation. I think that they should have viewed the speech in its entirety as well as looked at her track record before making such a major decision like that. I cannot believe that they would ask for her to resign without even looking at the entire speech. Nothing against bloggers put there that report accurate information but I double check major accredited news sources so why didn’t anyone Check this Guy’s credibility?  I’m confused. This is not the first time that he’s done this either.

This just shows that bloggers have a voice and when that voice is not used correctly then it can be damaging.
