That’s good Agricultural Secretary Tom Vilsack is doing an investigation into the video that cost Shirley Sherrod her job. Not the three-minute one that was spliced to make her look bad. The full one.
That’s fair Shirley Sherrod, in the wake of all this, doesn’t know if she’d return to her job. Given all the drama, and the clearly low confidence in her work performance shown by Washington, we understand.
That’s unfair Andrew Breitbart and his Big Government people still get to roam the streets and do hit pieces. What a bunch of pricks. Making crap up to ruin peoples’ lives. How do you sleep at night? Seriously? source
As with any other highly coveted consumer product, especially from Apple, the demand for the iPhone isn’t entirely rational. The improvement are incremental, like a faster processor, sharper screen and a very limited video chat capability.
ValleyWag blogger Ryan Tate • Downplaying the good things about the iPhone 4 in an attempt to broadly criticize Apple. (This from a guy who got into a pretty stupid war of words with Steve Jobs a few weeks back.) Dudes getting paychecks from Nick Denton’s company have been writing Apple hit pieces like this for weeks. (Going so far, in one case of one article’s headline, to blame Apple for problem that was clearly AT&T’s fault.) While Apple’s new iPhone deserves some of the criticism it’s getting (this is valid, for example), there’s no need to show us 40 videos of iPhone 4 users having the same problem. All you’re doing is trying to get back at a company you pissed off by leaking information about one of their products a couple of months early. They’re just hit pieces designed to cut down Apple, based less on actual reasons and more on vendettas. source
