Mrs. Sherrod was on the Warren Ballentine Show today. Two things:

for all of you who are not familiar with Warren, his show airs here in Atlanta from 10 - 1 p.m.: http://www.thetruthfighters.com/index/

She said she had been up and in studios since 5 a.m. giving interviews. She said she will continue to give interviews to any and all outlets with the exception of Fox News.

She is also seriously considering a defamation of character lawsuit against Breitbart and Fox News. Warren is an attorney, and steered the conversation that way.

There's lots of hits on Goggle for Sherrod+Defamation: http://tinyurl.com/24ykdoz

1. Fox attorneys will keep her busy for years...

Just like most corporations who injure individuals. But, if she has the strength to pursue it, I say hooray!

11. Yes, CW. Your tragedy has been on my mind ever since you posted about it.

Hang in, sweet soul.

6. Thanks for the news - those claiming this story isn't important are seriously wrong.

The corporate media bears a great deal of responsibility for the horrendous condition of this country as they served the fascist agenda for far too long.

7. She should sue, and the NAACP should pay her

legal expenses.

8. Easy to prove financial loss due to defamation

Maybe more difficult if she takes the job back

10. I would love to see a suit.

Carol Burnett was the first person to sue and win against the National Enguirer for printing a story claiming she had been sloppy drunk in public. Coming from a family with alchoholism in it made her especially sensitive to that claim. She showed you could go up against such entities and win.

I hope Ms. Sherrod goes up agaisnt FAUX in court on their lies and leads the way for others to do the same.
