As read on The Rush Limbaugh Show:
So far CNN has only reported on the breaking story on blatant ACORN CORRUPTION from angles that attempt to extricate the government funded community organizing enterprise from the extreme crime we caught on videotape.
First CNN pushed the false ACORN line that [t]his film crew tried to pull this sham at other offices and failed.
To set that record straight please check the Washington D.C. tape we dropped today at BigGovernment.com, which is also being aired on your cable news competitor with curiously higher ratings.
Now that ACORN lied to you, Jonathan Klein, what are you going to do?
Heres what I have noticed from your coverage: You brought in the damage control crowd to FRAME the story. Before even airing our damning Baltimore video. You know your audience would turn on ACORN if you showed them the evidence. So instead you put your competitors in journalism in the crosshairs instead of airing a blockbuster report making massive waves elsewhere.
You even trotted out shameless Clinton era apologist Joe Conason to challenge the ETHICS of our expose. Unreal.
What about the ethics of those at ACORN caught on tape trying to help create a brothel featuring illegal immigrant age range 13-15 from El Salvador?
What about the countless laws broken on tape from a group that stands to get billions from President Obamas stimulus package?
Why dont we wait to have the Columbia Journalism School debate on journalistic ethics after you do actual journalism.
When you air the raw ACORN footage that is now viral on the Internet, and being played on FOX NEWS and countless talk radio shows, then and only then when America can see, hear and smell the stench we have exposed will I subject myself to a CNN hit job.
I haven’t looked into this issue in depth yet, but from what I read, I actually have to agree theres some ethics issue with the reporter who was engaging in fishing for crime. Its no different to when a police fish for crime then book them. The only difference here is that the target is a left wing organisation. Reporters fish for crime in right wing revenues all the time, so they’re being hypocrical when complaining. Remember the news where ABC reporters have two male actors kiss at a bar and have cameras around to see what would be the reaction of people around or when they dress up a muslim man in a turbin and have him go to Nascar event, expecting racist comment to be thrown at him
HOW EXACTLY IS IT A “SMEAR” SHOWING A TAPE OF THEIR OWN ACTIONS? THE RACIST VAN JONES ALSO ALLEGED A “SMEAR”.
WOULD’NT THE MEDIA HAVE TO REPORT THE FACTS FOR IT TO ACTUALLY BE A “SMEAR” CAMPAIGN?
WOULD NOT A SMEAR BE 20 UNFOUNDED ETHICS CHARGES VS A GOVERNOR IN ALASKA,A MANUFACTURED “MACACA” INSINUATED A RACIST RUNNING FOR SENATE IN VIRGINIA THAT THE WASHINGTON POST RAN 157 STORIES ON.
WOULD A “SMEAR” BE TAKING A TWENTY YEAR OLD THESIS AND INSINUATING IT MAKES THE CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR IN VIRGINIA A SEXIST AND A HOMOPHOBE? (excuse the cap lock)
Just saw a black obamunist CNN Reporter try to make ACORN excuses. He HATES it.
I hope these two intelligent, brave young people have very long and successful careers ahead of them. Well done, James and Hannah, well done!
This is not “fishing”.
We KNOW that ACORN is incredibly corrupt. These young people simply laid out the truth. Decent freaking human beings would have called the cops on them, NOT gone out of their way to teach them how to break the law.
There is absolutely NOTHING unethical about these brave young people EXPOSING the fraud and waste being perpetuated by ACORN on a daily basis..
Go back to DailyKossacks.com, OK?
Wish Palin would have done and said that to Couric..
LOL!! Back on form there, Mr. Dead!
The entire MSM, with the exception of Fox and Dobbs, is a propaganda outlet for the Democrat party.
Yep, not a good day at CNN.
I see the story is gone from CNN.com, and has been replaced with “Paula Deen hid fish roe in eggs, sons say”
It would have been “fishing” if they had offered the ACORN individual money to go beyond their job. It was the general acceptance as “commonplace” about what the two were doing that bothers me! Here was evidence that these ACORN lowlifes would ASSIST in child slavery!
You should be ashamed to try and offer a defense to these animals!
There might be one or two others who aren't in bed with dems, but that would be it. I wonder if ACORN tells the MSM that they're really "performance artists"....
That was VERY appropriate. The MSM = Obama’s performance artists. Very appropriate indeed. Somebody could do something with that. They are whores for the socialists. Make that cheap whores for the socialists. Cheap and easy.
Not only do James and Hannah have the ability to damage ACORN, they also can do damage to CNN's severely limited reputation.Heard this on Rush today; exactly my thinking ...
I think CNN's pansy boy, Jonathan Klein, just got his *ss kicked!
You go, James! You have more integrity in your pinky than the entire group of CNN 'reporters', et al.
Hannah and James are American heroes. We should help Hannah replenish her savings that she spent doing this, she has saved us billions of tax dollars. These two deserve medals.
How refreshing to know that there are young people out there that did not drink the Kool-aid. Your parents must be proud!!!!
