You mean that the media you watch didn't cover the rather interesting fact that Glenn Beck is DEFENDING Shirley Sherrod? Here are just a few links:
Fox News host Glenn Beck is coming to the defense of Shirley Sherrod, the USDA official forced to resign after a videotape surfaced of her making what appeared to be racially charged remarks about a white farmer.
On his program Tuesday Beck said Sherrod deserved an opportunity to tell her side of the story before being fired.

Excerpt from his show Tuesday:
"They didn't watch the whole video?" Beck asked. "When was the last time the NAACP didn't give someone the benefit of the doubt right away who was African-American? Again I point out the Black Panthers. Now if she is just relating a story from 1986, to make a point about how her racial perceptions changed, this woman deserves her job back."

Excerpt:
Beck did wind up attacking the administration on his Fox News talk show, but not for the reason the White House may have expected. "She should not have been fired or forced to resign," the conservative commentator said, pointing out that Sherrod's side of the story was far more complex than initially reported. He even suggested that Sherrod should get her job back and joked about her getting a promotion.
By the way, this particular link, to blackchristiannews.com., is pretty funny. The opening sentence in the article is this:
Mr. Obama, You Threw Your Black Pastor and Church Under the Bus, You Threw Your White Grandmother Under the Bus, But You Have Never Thrown a Black Woman Under the Bus, and You Are Learning Very Quickly that a Sister Will Slow-Walk You Down. Shirley Sherrod Handled You within 24 Hours with Both Hands Tied Behind Her Back.
GO, SISTER, SOUL SISTER!
