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)

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?

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!

These women are employed by a tax-payer funded org, they are caught scheming to defraud you of more of your earnings, and you are claiming to be worried about the filmmakers motives??

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Why didn’t you drop the other shoe? The results.

There was no huge negative reaction to the two guys kissing, and there were not racist comments made at the NASCAR event (which stunned the ABC reporters.)

Vs. what happened in this instance. ACORN not only bit, but went farter than anyone ever dreamed. Not just one, but at least twice.

I remember NBC faking the fire hazard in Chevy pickups. I remember SeeBS faking documents. Nobody held the ACORNS to anything. ANY person with integrity would of thrown those kids out on their a$$.
