Despite five videos disclosing corruption and despicable behavior at 4 ACORN Housing locations (Baltimore, Washington D.C., Brooklyn, and San Bernardino), there has been little coverage from the major TV networks - ABC, CBS, NBC, and MSNBC. What coverage has appeared typically gives voice to the leaders of ACORN or an ACORN sympathizer who senselessly characterizes the videos as a racist attack by conservative Republicans. Not to mention the Census Bureau's recent severed ties with the organizations and the Senate's overwhelming vote to withdraw any further HUD grants - merely a whisper at best from these so called "news" organizations.
The ACORN videos are the kind of scandal the media would normally jump all over themselves to cover. It is said ad nauseum, because of its truth, that had this kind of corruption and absence of morality occurred within an organization tied to Bush it would be headline news for weeks. One must believe that broadcasters are in the business for profit; generating revenue (even despite the current deplorable ratings of these former media giants). So why are these networks ignoring this story?

Agree with your link/post.
Wanna bet O’Keefe and Giles get “Palin’ed” by the MSM
Don’t believe me?
Watch. I guarantee the MSM is digging up dirt on both as we speak and will smear them with half-truth, lies or whatever it takes.
They’ll cover the story when they figure out who Hannah’s father is. Of course he, not ACORN, will be the issue.
There are Two Americas: the haves, and the havenots.
Those who have the internet, and those who have not.
Democrats represent the havenots, those ignorant masses who have no way of informing themselves of the myriad Democrat scandals.
ok I’ll bite, who her father?
Obama *IS* ACORN.
His whole history and present is tied to ACORN. He worked for them, trained them, raised money for them and on and on and on.
LOL. Doug Giles. His columns get posted here a lot.
Could part of the problem be that our younger Reporters are afraid of retaliation by Acorn, thugs, or gangs?
Easy, the ACORN scandal wasn't in the daily Democrat talking points that the MSM gets their stories from.
Writers need to get to the F’ing point. I’m tired of reading sentence after sentence of gobbledygook trying to figure out what they really mean.
Just say it.

Agreed.
Has everybody who watches noticed how O’Reilly’s minimizing Obama’s ties to ACORN? I wish I could reach through the TV. I’d grab him by his nose hairs and pull ‘til his eyeballs turned inside out.
I stopped watching BORe about 2 years ago after he started softballing every lefty-wacko he interviewed on his show.
Beck is putting him to shame.
Do you think for a minute, if the kids had gotten video of Catholic Charities or the Salvation Army doing the same thing, that it wouldn’t have created a media firestorm?
Damn right.
If the ACORN scandal was tied to the Republican party, the MSM would be running the articles and videos 24/7.
I didn’t realize 309 words was loquacious. Maybe you should stick to Twitter - it might be more your speed.
