See No Evil; Why Is the Media Refusing to Cover the Acorn Scandal?

Fidel Obama is just doing what all good revolutionaries do. AFter the revolution, kill your supporters. ACORN is disposable. Personal political power is not disposable for Fidel Obama.

Rush had the right idea. The next grassroots mass protest should be in front of the major media. As in RIGHT in front of them, with thousands of angry people standing on the lawn of their corporate headquarters.

Those “celebrities” we sent to Washington are now getting the message that we are on to them. We are indeed. Now we need to let the media know we are on to them, too.

We don’t owe the legacy media anything. In fact, they owe us for all the years of protection We The People have granted them under the First Amendment. In exchange for that protection, we expect truth, objectivity and fairness. Just give us the facts, dammit!

Our “intrepid reporters” Giles and O’Keefe have given us FOUR examples (so far!) of clear criminal behavior by ACORN. I know from 25 years in the news biz that stories like this SHOULD make any decent reporter salivate. Just mail me the Pulitzer! This is one of those SWEET stories where you fold your arms, sit back and just let the story write itself. It does NOT get any better than that, with a hot story supported by cold facts!

Instead, the MSM treats us like morons and they have for years. They utterly ignore the quality and even the existence of the new alternative media (which you are reading at this very moment, my FRiend) while counting only themselves as the High Priests of Truth in America. HOGWASH!

In fact, it is worse than hogwash. It is corrupt and deceptive and evil. Good, honest reporters keep the government from screwing us by shining a light on their nefarious activities. (Trust me ... things would be MUCH WORSE if not for good reporters keeping us informed.) But this bunch ... I don’t know what game they’re playing, but I’m damned sick of it.

It would be a crime, but I would shed no tears, if the mob imposed ... umm ... some street-corner justice when the media is finally brought to heel. In fact, I can think of several big-name media types who would look damned good swinging from a lamp post in front of their company’s main office.

I’ll stop there so I don’t get in trouble.

Time to take out the trash in Washington, but wrap it in newspaper first.

I agree. The former mainstream media is pissed that small blogs and independent reporters are upstaging them and posing the questions they formerly used to ask.

If you check out Twitter, #acorn is a trending topic, usually reserved for such idiotic things like Kanye West.

Conservatives, libertarians and independent thinkers are waking up and taking note that the old media is dead.
