I was checking the transcript from Hannity, and it looks like Sherrodโs resignation came during his show on July 19:
This is a rush transcript from โHannity,โ July 19, 2010. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated.
SEAN HANNITY, HOST: And this is a Fox News alert. An Obama administration official resigned just a short time ago after she was caught on tape appearing to tell an audience that she had used her position to racially discriminate against white farmers.
Now the woman, Shirley Sherrod, was the Georgia state director at the Department of Agricultural. Now the presidentโs Agricultural Secretary Tom Vilsack just released a statement saying the USDA has a zero tolerance policy against discrimination.
Can the Left please point me to the extensive coverage on Fox News, other than the one article they had up on their website, that supposedly forced Vilsackโs hand in firing this woman? Brett Baier didnโt cover the story, for example, and according to Mediaite, โFox News did not cover the story during their news hours before Sherrodโs resignation.โ In all likelihood, her firing was in the works long before Fox News even had a chance to get to its prime time commentary on the video.
One other thing from the transcript:
HANNITY: Well, Iโve tried to reach out to Ben Jealous. He has yet to return my phone call and heโs invited on this program if he would like to discuss it. Iโd like to have him on.
This is all part of Foxโs evil snookering plan. They gave Jealous a chance to refute the charges, yet he declined.
