Jon Stewart is all over the ACORN hidden tape story while the majority of the MSM is in full-on embargo mode.

Stewart did a good job pointing out the total incompetence of the MSM. His take was actually pretty fun. He certainly did not try to defend the indefensible. I guess the question is whether he does a follow up that helps keep the story going.
I finally got around their “posted bad link”. If you simply go to the show and scan the recent videos it’s still there. He really doesn’t pull many punches. He leaves little doubt that there is a real big open sewer at ACORN.
I just went and watched the 9/15 show fromt he start. A little bit of stuff at the front, but he gets to the Acorn story pretty quickly, and it’s pretty damning of the MSM.
“Two white kids from the cast of High School Musical with $3k and their grandmother’s chinchilla broke this story! It costs CNN $3k to turn on their holograph machine! I do fake news and I’m embarassed these kids broke this story!”
He even does a fake attempt to smear Fox because they have been covering it. Pretty funny.
Hats off to Stewart. I guess his limit of dedication to the liberal cause is helping to enslave 13 El Savadoran underage girls in the sex trade. So he has a limit. Over at the DU, no such limit exists.
Its actually very good.
“The cast of High school musical, scooped the major media”
Brilliant!
Stewarts a liberal but he’s one of the few “honest” liberals. Unlike the seven dims who refused to unfund Acorn.
I saw the clip too, and he did spin it. Why? No call to put ACORN’s leadership in jail. He’s counting on us forgetting to follow up. And he has pretty good statistics behind him.
Simply put, this story could not be ignored. Now that a token effort has been made it will disappear down the memory hole. If we let it.
I also don’t contribute to his ratings, but this is a very good thing that he’s commented on the story. His audience contains a huge number of younger folks which could become disillisioned with “dear leader”.
Dis-information and false flag ops are to be expected by these guys. Focus on our goal - ACORN (and SEIU) leadership in jail, and Obama crippled and ineffective because of his proven ties to them. Not guilt by association, but guilt by guilt.
AND--
Hell... has frozen over!!!!!!!
Now if Katie reports it... I can dig up my Confederate bonds and put them into my 401K!
no I got it, the link is broke but the video remains up, just go to his front page and there will be a link there.
i just watched it. he did the story justice.
Just jump to my second posting where I found it. They just posted a bad link with the video.
Nothing will "take hold" as long as liberals are the press "gatekeepers"...
If ACORN was throwing live 3 year olds off buildings while dancing and laughing and it was on tape, the New York Times would ignore it.
The New York Times whores for liberals.
broken link
“Nothing will “take hold” as long as liberals are the press “gatekeepers”...
....sadly, I’m afraid that you’re right.
He did a brief segment on me, or rather our “Trouble With Textbooks,” quoting me saying that the “pregnancy test of any textbook is the Reagan section.” Then he showed an image of a pregnant Reagan. I thought it was funny.
...Jon Stewart on ACORN and the MSM media blackout
ping
...Jon Stewart on ACORN and the MSM media blackout
ping ONE MORE EGG ON THE FACE OF THE NEW YORK TIMES, WASHINGTON POST AND CNN.
>>> I thought it was funny. <<<
Yeah he’s funny, no doubt about it.
I used to like him when he was a nondenominational, equal opportunity cynic.
Like I said, now he’s just a rabid Rat. I can’t stand him anymore.
