What does it say when John Stewart covers a story before Katie, Brian, and Charlie?
ACORN suspended operations yesterday, calling the actions of their employees at four separate locations indefensible. This was after ACORN Bertha Lewis called the BigGovernment videos a scam, that ACORN employees were just "playing along", which came right after they claimed they were suing FoxNews for making ACORN their Willie Horton for 2009, which wasn't too long after they called this an isolated incident.
Next up? Bertha Lewis saying "we would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for you meddling kids"?
Zoinks!

I do FAKE news, and I’m embarassed!” Jon Stewart
(A more honest “journalist” than anyone at the Big 3 networks, to be sure!)
That John Stewart is a journalist and Katie and Charlie are comedians.
Acorn is circling wagons and making sure no further embarrassing footage comes out—this time from the MAINSTREAM MEDIA. Took the media long enough! Now I wonder if they’ll show any curiosity as to Obama’s Czars?
This little sting operation showed what lengths ACORN will go to help get a home loan approved. We can just imagine what sort of bogus loan applications have been concocted that were less dramatic than this scenario. This organization should be investigated and shut down, and some people go to prison because it’s no accident that the couple found “help” at several different ACORN offices.
At least the MSM will be discredited in the eyes of some additional part of the US population. That’s progress.
The MSM purposely comes late to the party so they can only cover it as it’s dying down but still have the ability to claim that they did cover it.
It’s just more MSM games and until they get get called on it from the turf they stand, it won’t change.
I’m kinda wondering when Nancy Pelosi will get around to noticing.
......I do FAKE news, and I’m embarassed!” Jon Stewart......
He’s got it wrong. He is blinded by bias.
He mistakes the story to be about the actors making the sting, where as it is really about the Acorn criminal conspirators.
From my understanding, he was ticked about the lack of “mainstream” coverage. He admits he is not a “journalist” (”fake news”), and he’s still embarrassed by the lack of coverage.
That is the interpretation I have heard from multiple sources on the radio.
Fox News played the rant. I cant stand Stewart, but it was a great rant.
What makes you think it is "dying" down. There are 27 tapes total and they will release another one today or tomorrow. It hasn't even begun to die down yet. BTW, there is a police report on biggovernment.com that claims to show the woman in San Bernardino does indeed have a dead husband in her past.
