It is day five of our CNN.com ACORN Watch. The Hippo's Ass has been monitoring the CNN web site for the past few days looking for any indication they are aware of the astonishing events surrounding the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now.
According to CNN.com's own search engine, the last time CNN wrote a story about ACORN was September 10, 2009
1 Day before the Obama Administration fired ACORN from their Census collection program.
2 Days before a third video (this time in New York) surfaced showing workers giving questionable advice to filmakers posing as a pimp and a prostitute.
3 Days before the Senate took up a vote to add an amendment to the Housing bill to cut all funding to ACORN. Seven members of the Senate voted to keep funding ACORN.
4 Days before a fourth video is broadcast, this time of a worker telling how she "laid some groundwork" before shooting her abusive husband dead.
Five Days.

How could they possibly report on them?
They spit on God and worship Obama.
Because I think there’s something here that could bring the president down.
ACORN is one big back door reparation scheme.
The multiculuralist worshiping media does not want to offend people of color nor be labeled as a racist.
Because the fish rots from the head, and the head is B-HO, who the State Controlled Media will defend, even if it means going down with the ship.
The real reason is that they haven’t decided how to spin this story to attack conservatives or promote socialism.
Because a lot of them unknowingly support and enable the evil one?
.
The Today Show had a story on it this morning, noting that the Acorn CEO says the video was “doctored” and that was entrapment. She threated lawsuits against the video maker and those who aired it. Good luck to her - a lawsuit would open the door to all kinds of Acorn discovery.
Because ACORN is the Obamassiah’s alma mater.
CNN is worthy of scorn
The answer is simple. The liberal media hate traditional, conservative America and Americans. So, anything that is seen to 'help' conservatives and hurt 'progressives' either doesn't exist or is to be excused or is to be spun or is to be lied about.
Once you realize this, it is easy to predict what the 'progressive' media will do.
Yo Spam—You may have something there. IMHO this story has legs and will run for a while longer. Even my local rag “newspaper” ran the AP version of the story yesterday. It was on page 7 or 8, but it was there.
Also, IMHO, however the MSM may twist and turn and the demrats may laugh off the Tea Parties, they are all feeling a warm trickle running down their legs. The silent majority tiger—aka Tea Parties—has been awakened and is on the prowl. The left has not experienced an actual opposition to their ideological nonsense before now.
Because they see “Brave New World” as a shining light, not a horror story.
the very real issue we as Americans may have to deal with..is the probability our major institutions may be more aligned with ACORN..than the American people...
good answer
The real reason is that they haven’t decided how to spin this story to attack conservatives or promote socialism.
terrific answer.
Because I think there’s something here that could bring the president down.
The MSM is not covering it because ACORN’s smarmy Lawyer Levinson contacted all of them and threated a lawsuit.
This is called “Jamming”.
The MSM does not want to cover this.
The MSM did not see it in the NYT
So they are happy to be jailhouse girlfriends and go along with ACORN’s demands.
