Employees at no fewer than four ACORN offices have been caught on videotape advising a man and a woman on how to skirt federal law to obtain housing and operate a brothel — but you'd hardly know it if all you watch and read are the mainstream media, conservative media critics say. "A major national scandal and none of the broadcast networks is covering it," said Dan Gainor, vice president for business and culture at the Media Research Center. "This is the news media in the era of Van Jones and President Obama. The major outlets cover what they want and create the themes they want." A search of transcripts through Monday at NBC, CBS and MSNBC revealed no national TV coverage of the growing ACORN scandal. CNN and ABC, meanwhile, have run some segments on the matter, including a quick mention during Saturday's "Good Morning America."

Predictably, this is providing cover to ACORN to respond with, “We knew they were hoaxters. We just played along.”
....the MSM may ignore ACORN.....but we voters won’t in 2010
Fox continues to push yesteryear’s media into irrelevancy.
After these latest scandals exposed by the net, FNC and talk radio it is obvious the MSM is rapidly becoming irrelevant. I am sure they do not like and I expect them to strike back. It should be interesting.
Translation: They aren’t sure how to spin it yet
“News Outlets Largely Ignoring ACORN Scandal, Critics Say”
My alternative headline:
News Outlets Largely Ignoring ACORN Scandal, Reality Says
These aren’t scandals to the media.
After all - there are no republicans to be criticized and discredited.
Anyway - it’s obvious that these are just racist attacks against innocent ACORN people by bitter, white skinned clingers with short haircuts.
Of course they’re ignoring it. They are the propaganda arm of the Marxists. They’re complicit with treason.
News Outlets are committing suicide by a thousand self inflicted cuts.
Charlie Gibson is now the poster boy for what happens when you rely exclusively on the old-stream media (OSM) to find out what’s going on the in the world: you lose touch with reality.
It’s fascinating, actually, that the OSM has grown so insular and isolated that they themselves have now lost touch with the world. Soon, no one will be paying attention to the OSM but others in the OSM. At that point, they will have constructed a self-contained alternate reality that only they exist in.
[BTW, I will no longer use the term MSM (main stream media). The tipping point has now been reached in which the old media outlets are no longer main stream: they are now simply just old. Hence, the the more accurate term “old-stream media”. I urge everyone else to start using term old-stream media (OSM), and will probably start making a minor pest of myself gently reminding people of this. If you control language, you control thought, and it’s time to start exerting ourselves in this fashion whenever feasible.]
