"We here at Studio B did not run the video and did not reference the story in any way for many reasons, among them: we didn't know who shot it, we didn't know when it was shot, we didn't know the context of the statement, and because of the history of the videos on the site where it was posted, in short we do not and did not trust the source... An edited videotape on a widely discredited website that has had inaccurate postings of videos in the past, edited to the point where the world was deceived... What in the world has happened to our industry and the White House? How can they lead and govern if what they're worried about is something that happens on a cable news channel that they've already said doesn't matter?"
-- Shepard Smith on Fox News yesterday, talking about the Shirley Sherrod debacle
