Feb 14, 2011Ag dept. employee sues conservative blogger over edited video
07:54 AMBy Douglas Stanglin, USA TODAYComment
RecommendShirley Sherrod, the African-American agriculture department employee who lost her job over an edited video purporting to show her anti-white bias, has filed a lawsuit against the owner of a conservative web site who posted it, The New York Times reports.
In the video, Sherrod appears to be confessing in a local speech that she had discriminated against white farmers while working for the department. But the full version, which surfaced a few days later, shows that the speech was about she overcame her own biases to help the farmer.
Andrew Breitbart posted the edited video on his site, biggovernment.comIn the uproar triggered by the initial posting, Sherrod was pressured by the Obama administration to resign. She was also heavily criticized by the NAACP until the full video surfaced.In the suit filed last week, Sherrod charged that the edited video has damaged her reputation and prevented her from continuing her work.Breitbart said in a statement that he "categorically rejects the transparent effort to chill his constitutionally protected free speech," The Times reports.To report corrections and clarifications, contact Standards Editor Brent Jones.
