Here she is again with the false claim that Fox News had anything to do with getting her fired.

Ousted Agriculture Department employee Shirley Sherrod said Thursday she will sue conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart, praised CNN’ s coverage of her experience and dismissed protests by Fox News that it was being unfairly criticized.

“I will not give Fox an interview, period. They had their chance to get the truth, and they were not interested,” she said at a plenary session at the National Association of Black Journalists’ convention in San Diego. Fox maintains that it did not air Breitbart’s truncated video, which was edited to make it seem as though Sherrod were a black bigot, until after she was fired.

“I don’t know all that Fox was doing behind the scenes to get the effect they were looking for,” which was to get her fired, Sherrod said in answering a question from Eric Deggans, media writer for the St. Petersburg (Fla.) Times.

“I got lots of hate mail on Monday,” she said, before receiving the fateful cell phone call from her supervisor asking for her resignation before the Glenn Beck program aired on Fox News Channel that night.

When Deggans told Sherrod that Fox host Bill O’Reilly said she was injecting race into the conversation, she replied that having lived as a black person, “I saw what Fox did and what Breitbart did. I knew it was racism, and nobody had to tell me that.”

As for the Breitbart suit, good luck with that.

Attention middle America: Rest easy tonight — the top donors to the DNC are really, really worried about what’s going on in your neck of the woods. Page Six:

At 7 p.m., the president headed to Wintour’s, where the Vogue editor-in-chief introduced him to 40 guests at her dinner attended by fashion royalty including Diane von Furstenberg, Calvin Klein, Vera Wang, Tory Burch, Harvery Weinstein and Marchesa co-founder Georgina Chapman, Gap designer Patrick Robinson, Theory chief Andrew Rosen and actress Kerry Washington. While guests dined on salmon or steak, Obama only drank coffee.

He again spent time at each of eight tables. “One table wanted to talk about politics, but a lot of people wanted to talk about stimulating jobs in the fashion industry,” said an insider. “Obama was interested in what they had to say, talked about fashion and mentioned his suit designer in Chicago.” Senior advisor Valerie Jarrett trailed the president throughout the evening. “She sat at all the tables and took copius[sic] notes on what they were saying,” said our source.

Fashion-industry jobs are the future of the U.S. economy!

Mark Knoller tweets:

Obama has done Leno and Letterman & the WH sees an appearance on “The View” in the same vein. Gibbs says it’s where the people are.

I don’t think any president should go on any of these shows, nor should they when they are campaigning for the office.

Are you kidding me? The ladies of The View asked him about Snooki? At least Hasselbeck asked him about jobs:

President Obama charmed the ladies on “The View” yesterday and confidently showed off his command of the big challenges facing the nation today.

But the name Snooki didn’t ring a bell.

“I’m sorry, I don’t know who that is,” the smiling but perplexed President said when asked about the big-haired “Jersey Shore” bombshell, according to several audience members interviewed after the show.

“We all liked that he didn’t know who she was,” said Nella Cerminara, 51, of Montreal.

Obama also revealed that he wasn’t attending Chelsea Clinton‘s upcoming wedding, said audience member Bonnie Schneider, 37, of Shamong, N.J.

“Why would you want two presidents there?” Obama said, according to Schneider. The Secret Service would “have to unwrap all the gifts.”

It was one of many light-hearted moments as Obama made history – and caught some flak – by becoming the first sitting President to appear on a daytime talk show. His interview airs today on ABC.

“He was a gentleman, very charming as usual,” co-host Joy Behar said on CNN. “He seems at ease with whomever he is speaking to.”

Obama also seemed unruffled by what Behar called a “pointed question” about jobs from Elisabeth Hasselbeck, an outspoken conservative who sparked outrage on Wednesday’s show by suggesting that older women become lesbians because they can’t land a man.

“The last 20 months has been a non-stop effort to restart the economy,” the President said in a snippet aired by ABC.

But back to Snooki. Did the President just lie about not knowing who Snooki is? From this year’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner:

But Republicans were the butt of many presidential punch lines.

“This next provision is called the Jersey Shore-Up. It reads: ‘The following individuals shall be excluded from the indoor tanning tax within this bill.’ Snooki, J-WOWW, the Situation, and House Minority Leader John Boehner.”

Verdict: Pants on fire.

Matt Lewis of Politics Daily has the write-up here. Some of Bozell’s questions to the Post:

How many Washington Post staffers were part of JournoList and, if there are any currently unnamed, who are they?

Did the Post know about JournoList when Klein was hired and that it was a “center
to left” group? If yes, what does that say about the Post’s claims of neutrality?

Did actions on JournoList violate the Post’s ethical guidelines?

Has the Post revised or added any ethical guidelines as a result of this scandal?

Will the Post permit staffers to belong to or operate such lists in the future?

Did Klein and the other Post members write to the list using company equipment and offices?

When Klein shut down the list, did he delete the list? If not, will the Post order him to release it so that readers may decide for themselves?

We’ll see if he gets a response.

Great stuff. Video here.

Details here.

Honestly, this makes no sense to me. Weigel is no good for the suits at the Washington Post but he’s fine for the Washington Post–owned Slate?

The Washington Post should have manned up and just kept Weigel at the Post. The problem wasn’t his reporting on the Right, it’s that the Post didn’t have a blogger covering the Left in like manner.

Matt Lewis has the video. Enjoy.

I am guest-hosting the Hugh Hewitt radio show this week. The Weekly Standard’s Mary Katharine Ham will co-host the program with me on Thursday and Friday. So tune in!

The Daily Caller has the latest JournoList series of emails, this one on the theory that Trig was not Sarah Palin’s son. Some defend her, but most of the emails are horrible.

If these were conservative writers debating Obama’s “Kenyan birth,” would a single one of them be employed come tomorrow? Doubtful.

And in the world where up is down, here’s Andrew Sullivan slamming the JournoListers. Read the whole post, but here’s his conclusion:

This is your liberal media, ladies and gentlemen: totally partisan, interested in the truth only if it advances their agenda, and devoid of any balls whatsoever. And people wonder how this farce of a candidate now controls one major political party and could well be our next president. One reason is that we do not have a functioning adversarial media uncorrupted by partisan loyalty and tactics.
