Lame Christian Media Misses ACORN Scandal

Big Government / Breitbart ^ | 2009-10-16 | Doug Giles

Since ACORN’s crass corruption came into sharp focus a few weeks ago, Andrew Breitbart has not only been part and parcel of cracking ACORN’s nuts, but he has also been pointing out the ludicrous lack of reporting on ACORN’s asininities by what used to be the mainstream media.

Breitbart, via the ACORN controversy, has shown the “mainstream” to be everything but conventional and more akin to an irrelevant, unwatched drip of ideological flotsam that’s entirely in the septic tank for the lunatic left.

The Daily Show’s John Stewart—hardly a right-winger—also pointed out this willful ACORN media blindness this past month, as only Stewart can. Yep, it appears the motto of the generic broadcasting boys who’re bent to the left has become: “We distort. We decide.”

Most folks who have a lick of sense have long understood that the media has been mollycoddling the Left and their lovers for quite some time, but this ACORN controversy pummeled us over the flippin’ head with this hypocritical fact.

Now . . . I get that the former MSM is the mouthpiece for the Amerika that embraces Eurosocialism and all its weirdness, but the question I have, as a goofy sinner who’s part of Christ’s church, is this: Who the heck is the Christian media in the tank for? Their reportage on this ACORN slop has been conspicuously inconspicuous.

Why the silence of the lambs, Jesus people? I would have thought you guys would be all over this stuff like stink on a monkey. But alas, the holy ones are wholly silent.

If Satan himself claimed he was here to “promote social justice,” I know a few credulous Christians who would immediately be won over by such slogans and cliches, and would go all weak in the knees.

Many churches partner with ACORN to help the poor. Many ACORN chapters align themselves with Catholic Charities.

Mainstream churches were taken over years ago by the “don’t judge” crowd... (which is a judgement)

My nondenominational church of 130 people is about 75% arch conservative, 20% moderately conservative(nice folks with no clue) and 5 % liberal. I consider myself lucky ;-)
