SNIPPET: "So how could the major media fail to hold ACORN to account all these years?
I have my pet theory.
Political correctness has been slowly rotting the establishment media to its core, to the point where few professional journalists would dare launch a serious investigation into the exalted Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now. Why? Simple: according to the tenets of political correctness, the racial makeup of the communities being “organized” automatically confers the presumption of moral superiority upon ACORN. So all those nasty rumors about ACORN must be no more than lies spread by racist propagandists.
To understand the mindset of the politically correct, there are a few rules of racial relations that you need to know. These rules establish the Hierarchy of Multiculturalism:"

The problem with the state run fringe media is that they are easily intimidated if you flash a race card at them.
Paid Democrat shills. They don’t get paid to glorify Conservatives.
BTTT.

Laziness and the taking the easy way is the reason for below par performance.
Wow, this sounds almost exactly like your book about the MSM vs the Swiftboat vets, “To Set The Record Straight!”
“So forgive me if I don’t believe that the abundantly Caucasian and overwhelmingly liberal journalist class is capable of taking on a target like ACORN, no matter how apparent the criminality might be.
“In the end, though, it doesn’t matter. The work of Giles and O’Keefe highlights the diminishing relevance of the establishment media. Despite the story getting no coverage on broadcast TV or in any major newspaper, it propagated online, then to talk radio and Fox News. And before any “mainstream” media outlet covered it, the political pressure grew to the point that the Census Bureau cut all ties to ACORN, and U.S. Senate voted by the overwhelming margin of 83-7 to cut off the group’s federal funding.
“Even after these events, a vast majority of the media ignored the story. And yet the public kept getting the truth, which only made the media appear to be in the business of hiding news rather than reporting it. Realizing that this is not a winning business model for an ailing industry, a few of the more independent-minded reporters started covering the story, and now the White House Press Secretary is busy deflecting questions about the president’s former colleagues and fellow community organizers at ACORN. Despite the media’s best efforts.
“James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles represent another massive power-shift in the age of Internet media. The first occurred when the Drudge Report broke Monica Lewinsky’s affair with President Clinton, a story that Newsweek got first but declined to run. The second was when CBS News got hoodwinked by documents that purported to impugn President Bush. After bloggers exposed them as forgeries, the documents ended up tarnishing CBS News instead. Long-time anchor Dan Rather was forced to retire in disgrace.
“This is another huge embarrassment for Big Media–not so much because they look foolish, but because they’re beginning to look irrelevant.”
Thank you for the bump Jet Jaguar.
Speaking of Kanye West, why didn’t that girl bean him with her statue when he took the mic from her? I would have smacked him with it and said, “Give me back my mic and get off my stage you jerk!” I can’t believe she let him get away with it.
The problem is in the term being used; instead of letting leftists and like-minded “enemies, foreign and domestic” to define our words; the correct term is;
“Political Corruption or Politically Corrupt,” please start using either freely.
Laziness?
If the reward for working hard, and for doing nothing (within your social class) are one and the same, virtually everyone will take a seat.
racism is how they make a living...without it they are nothing
Interesting. Thanks for posting.
She was too shocked, or thought it was scripted or something, because it had never been done before gayfish did it.
I see this same concept played out in TV commercials. Most scenarios in commercials have a good guy/bad guy or a smart guy/dumb guy played out.
The white male is always the bad guy or the stupid guy. Its safer that way.
50CENT said just that. He said he would have knocked the..... something something something.... (I don’t understand the language they talk) but it boiled down to he would have knocked the far out of Kanye.
50cent is not much better and by no means a role model but he did say what you said.
BTW I have had my tagline for a week now.
