From my experience, news organizations and reporters will embargo stories that they didn’t/couldn’t break out of pride and will only return to them if the story grows legs.
The catch-22 is that the initial “gatekeeping” kills a lot of scandal and corruption stories out of simple hubris and pride.

Just like with Monica the media will have to be dragged to this story.

But Allen admitted that if this kind of video came out about an Christian Organization - like the Christian Coalition, for instance, it would be a major story in every newsroom. Finally some truth from a liberal other than Jon Stewart.

I wonder if Washington DC is already so thoroughly corrupt leftist that it will not investigate the corruption that is leftist ACORN. And would Charlie Gibson ever notice?

The “noise” reference is to the “Noise Machine”, ultimately a reference to David Brock’s 2004 book, The Republican Noise Machine.
ABCNews is taking its talking points from Media Matters.

“ignoring it because they essentially regarded it as just “noise” from conservatives “obsessed” with ACORN.”
No, they ignored it because they know it’s the real thing and the ‘bama is in it up to his ears. The MSM will never report anything that harms the ‘bama, ever. And everyone knows it.
