Did the Times spike a story linking the left-wing activist group ACORN to the Obama campaign? A Republican lawyer made that claim at a House hearing two weeks ago, claiming information from ACORN whistleblower Anita Moncrief. The Philadelphia Bulletin newspaper reported on Monday:
A lawyer involved with legal action against Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) told a House Judiciary subcommittee on March 19 The New York Times had killed a story in October that would have shown a close link between ACORN, Project Vote and the Obama campaign because it would have been a “a game changer.”

Here’s more on this from Atlas Shrugs 2000:
And if they did, would anyone care?
Many would, yes. Try asking someone in your family (or a friend or something) who is only moderately political if they care about a newspaper spiking a story in this fashion.
As far as the rest of the drive by media is concerned, of course not, they won’t care. We need to make them care. Just as has happened over the past few years we need to keep beating back this media and drag them kicking and screaming into reporting more stories that should be reported on.
There have been at least five threads on this exact same topic over the last two week, and as a result, this thread is not exactly “breaking news.” Does anyone bother to do a search anymore before posting? In fact, a formal search is not even necessary because one of the other threads on this exact same topic is still listed in the “Breaking News” column to the right.
Thisd is not in question. This is a fact. What is in question, is whether our elected representatives, and our Justice Department, will do their duty, and not abrogate their oaths, and enforce our laws, and imprison all those involved? Including the colluders at the Red Rag Hag (Formerly known as the New York Times)???
One of those Democrat senators has proposed that newspapers be “bailed out” by the federal government. The reasons he gave were specious.
The bottom line is that the Democrat party wants to prop up its propaganda arm with federal funds. In that way, the brilliant, high-on-the-evolutionary-scale, all-knowing, smart people who affirm the Democrat Party line will not perish from the earth as a revolutionary force. (But they will always be leftist psychotics no matter where they go.)

What do they call it when inaction and cover up lead one to detest the MSM? And politicians that routinely lie to us and cover up facts? And racial resentments caused by their entitlement attitude and “shining messiah” cream on the crop that bring forth bitterness, distrust and dislike for a class of dependent screamers?
Sounds like a bunch of screwage to me and what else?
I regularly search for things before I post.
For example, do a cut and paste for this headline:
Did the Times Spike a Story Showing ACORN-Obama Ties?
And you will see only one story. Mine.
Maybe you should have searched before you posted. *laughs*
In all seriousness, I understand what you are saying. Some people may not have seen the earlier threads. Sometimes, reposts have value. Or even have new information in them due to updates in a particular story.
Agreed! Not everyone works the day shift and is on their computer during "prime time"
What good is having an investigational arm if whatever you've come up with you are just going to bury?
Yes, it's aimed at the LAT instead of the NYT but the question is very valid in this case. The american people should've had the right to decide about this story. But the NYT killed it instead of reporting it.
Of course they did. Crap like this is why they are dying. People who have any brains don’t believe them and are not buying their sludge anymore.
I hope it sinks them.
