That's the bad thing about having media companies tied to big International businesses. No one wants to upset the customer base.

Is the ACORN scandal worthy of national broadcast news coverage? ABC News anchor Charlie Gibson suggested Tuesday that the answer is no.But Gibson told a radio show Tuesday morning that he wasn't even familiar with the story — and it might be "just one you leave to the cables."
ABC reporter Jake Tapper has filed some reports on the scandal, and Gibson was asked on WLS Radio's "Don & Roma Show" what he thought of the story.
"I don't even know about it," Gibson said, laughing. "So you've got me at a loss. ... But my goodness, if it's got everything, including sleaziness in it, we should talk about it in the morning."
When one of the radio show's hosts described it as a "huge issue," Gibson said ABC had "done some stories about ACORN before, but this one I don't know about."

Time to kick-start Rush’s idea about a massive protest demonstration in front of the STATE PROPAGANDA MEDIA!
Wonder if Gibson would have wanted to leave the Watergate scandal to the cables?
I guess they don’t hear us.
“You Lie” Gibson! If you as a reporter don’t know about the ACORN scandal buddy, you’ve living under a rock!
We used to leave such stories to the journalist … back when we had journalists. ;-)
Bump while I go vomit...
Wonder if that’s why you’re being put out to pasture, Charlie?

Why wouldn’t Gibson have to note that the Senate just took surprisingly fast “action”?
Oh yeah, because we all know that they don’t like reporting onhuge stories you know. No one likes a big fat juicy story, leave that to the cables.....
Losing viewers, revenue, and advertisers and they don't seem to know it
WRONG, they do hear us. They are pretending not to, otherwise they have to agree at some level.
Sarah Palin, looking over her glasses and down her nose at Gibson: “The ACORN scandal, Charlie, surely you’ve heard of it.”
They are jealous because they didn’t break it and that is because they forgot how to be reporters—it took 2 young conservatives to break it and that makes them look bad. That is the price they pay for being Obama arse lickers.
At least none of the ACORN hacks never asked their clients what the Bush Doctrine was.
George Steponallofus likes to feign ignorance too.
Ha, ha—that’s exactly what I thought.
I guess the news has outgrown the alphabet network news departments and cable has the resources.
sounds like a dinosaur network to me.
