Andrew Breitbart Slams CNN ACORN Coverage; Tells Megyn Kelly "There Are More Videos to Come" - Video
Freedom's Lighthouse ^ | September 18, 2009 | BrianinMO

Posted on 09/18/2009 9:44:19 AM PDT by Federalist Patriot

Here is video of Fox News' Megyn Kelly talking with Andrew Breitbart this morning about the ACORN Scandal, and the way the media has covered it.

Breitbart hammered CNN for their coverage of the ACORN Scandal, pointing out how they have repeatedly allowed themselves to be a conduit for the ACORN line.

Breitbart said they rolled the videos out like they did in order to set "traps" for ACORN and the Mainstream Media.

Breitbart said ACORN's claim James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles were kicked out of numerous ACORN offices is "false." In fact, he said "there are more videos to come," including videos from some of the offices ACORN claimed they were kicked out of!

He said they have offered for O'Keefe and Giles to go on CNN for interviews if CNN would run the video. . . (VIDEO)

This is definitely something that can be done at the local level to continue and intensify the movement. If you have local paper that is habitually liberal, call them on by phoning up the editor, protest etc.. I would think also in this day and time that many midsize city dailies can be put out of business by objective journalistic competition.

"Yes, some Democrats still have morals. They will need to leave the Democrat party to keep them."

My mother and father have been registered Democrats all of their adult lives. (over 50 years) yesterday they officially changed to the GOP. Health care pushed them to the edge, Democrats voting against the bill to defund ACORN was the final straw!

I’m sure the ACORN Exec are questioning all their branches about what they said to these two reporters. The branches probably won’t tell them the truth, because they don’t want to loose their jobs and will wait and hope that they don’t appear on tape.
I hope they hit the mortgage issue a bit harder. San Diego was a prime place to do that,,but it has been lost in the child prostitution charges.

...if it was this easy to get ACORN to help with child sex slaves being imported into the US, then how many times have they helped set up such enterprises in the past? Shouldn’t a grand jury be talking to these ACORN people?

Every loan they made should be looked at with an eye to protecting children being raped and tortured with ACORN's help. These ACORN people did not act like this was the first time they had heard about children being kept in whore houses. There was NO shock. No surprise... I think you're right, Defiant - there are kids in these houses that ACORN knows about ...

Those children could also be used to keep liberal pols in line and funding ACORN. The rock was picked up - now we need to see what's under it. Every ACORN person in those offices needs to be put under oath...

Release the next video Sunday morning, pre-empt the Obama Sunday morning shows.

I like it - some of the new ones are worse - Sunday morning might be interesting.

I’m speechless about how this story can be ignored. If it was about the Christian Coalition, it would have been on the front page even with ONE tape... Bias - just plain old bias.

Oh just wait. You know somewhere, some leftist group being backed by Soros is going to walk into a church or something, probably down south, and make stuff up about racism. And the media will be all over it. Its probably being planned as we speak.

Good stuff!

I did not realize that CNN was still refusing to even run the video. Wow.

Has CNN reported that the Congress defunded ACORN? If not, why not? If so, what reasoning for the decision did CNN present?

Pathetic.

I forget which Fox show I heard it on but what I heard was that they have about 100 hours of tape on ACORN. I could’;ve heard wrong but if that is true I think there is a lot more to come with even more damage.

Its amazing how Breitbart has hit homerun after home run with these videos. Its almost as if he had inside intelligence on who to go after and how to ramp up the pressure.

I have a theory and it is only a SWAG at this point but I think there is an intelligence source, possibly low level FBI employees, that saw the corruption and couldn't stand it anymore. They then used Breitbart as their workaround to expose and unseat the grifters and roll up the entire line putting Acorn and by default the RATS on the defensive.

If this continues no telling how far up the line it will go.
Don't despair FReepers I don't think we are alone :)

Thanx for the post.No audio on my PC,but i’ve seen a couple of the videos on Fox.What really strikes me about the videos is that the ACORN workers were blatantly encouraging illegal activity.For starters:income tax evasion,prostitution,smuggling underage girls into the US for illicit purposes(aka sex slavery).BTW-where are the women’s advocacy groups like NOW?

I believe, within a year or so, if CNN does not make changes to their obvious liberal slant that they will be in trouble.

I see signs from CBS that they are beginning to see the light. They even did a report this week—Tuesday I think—about ACORN. That along with other stories I have seen on CBS recently leads me to believe they are beginning to think ratings and money.

The MSM are dying while the ‘New Media’ replaces them as a source for news. The Internet, Blogs and Fox are allowing consumers of news the ability to get ‘honest’ news.

I find it odd, no discusses why they chose a pimp and whore
scenario. I bet then heard something about ACORNs activities that make them choose that.
