But when a civil rights leader disparages the very people whom he is supposed to champion - that's news. And when the black person who uses the n-word is a civil rights leader who challenged the entertainment industry not to use the word and called for a boycott of "Seinfeld" DVDs after one of the series stars, Michael Richards, used the slur as a standup comic - that's big news. It is news that buries whatever credibility Jackson retained. Which makes O'Reilly's decision not to broadcast the racist n-word incomprehensible. O'Reilly was giving a pass to Jackson - something he would not do for a 18-year-old girl who posted a sexual photo on the Internet.
