Andrew Breitbart contributor uploaded Shirley Sherrod video to YouTube, did he edit it too?
By now, you’re probably familiar with the name Andrew Breitbart. Andrew Breitbart posted the video of former USDA Director of Rural Development for Georgia on his website ‘Big Government’ on Monday. The video went viral and showed an edited clip where it appeared that Shirley Sherrod had admitted to using institutional racism against a white farmer during the height of the 80’s farm crisis.
Fox News picked up the story and ran with it. Before long, the entire nation had tuned in to see the case of the racist black woman who boasted about discriminating against white farmers while speaking from an NAACP platform.
The only problem was the video was edited and did not show the truth.
So who created the Shirley Sherrod edited video to begin with?
Though we aren’t sure who originally edited the video, we do know who uploaded it to YouTube as it remains there still.
