Jon Stewart to media on ACORN: “Where the hell were you?”
Hot Air ^ | SEPTEMBER 16, 2009 | ED MORRISSEY

Posted on 09/16/2009 11:05:45 AM PDT by RobinMasters

Kudos to Jon Stewart, who doesn’t sugar-coat the embarrassment at all — to the apparent delight of his audience, who get kudos of their own. How can the national news media ignore the many allegations of corruption at ACORN, which gets millions of dollars in federal funding, and allow a couple of independents with $3,000 and a bad wardrobe scoop them on the undercover story of the year? It’s easy when newsrooms are more concerned with political direction than truth. Stick around to the end, when Stewart zings Michelle Malkin haters:

Re#34 Yep. Pleasant surprise. But then, the child sex slave stuff will turn most stomachs. Most.

Why Rearrange the Deck Chairs when the bow of the ship is already underwater?

That way they can still blame the deck chairs...

Glad to hear that Jon Stewart is a little disappointed in the MSM.
++++++++++++++++

ACORN CEO announcing no new applications, inservice training, independent auditor....

Until I hear ACORN CEO turns herself into authorities, I’m not caring what else she does..

I think the reasons it is taking so long for MSM to event report one word on this includes: 1. being scooped, 2. getting something of a believable lie as to why it had not been covered, and best answer 3. covering for Obama.
++++++++++++++++

OK. But what’s AWESOME about this, even like the way they downplayed the hundreds of thousands to 1M or so that came to DC last weekend - whatever tiny shreds of journalistic integrity and authority they may have had left are now GONE and being trampled underfoot by good Americans.

When the lefties try to tell us that we need to get a ‘good reputable source’ for our stats and stories, we can just look at ‘em and laugh and say, oh you mean the kind that doesn’t report what’s right under their noses like the ACORN scandal.

The old media is DEAD and BURIED.

The media is still tied up full time with the latest breaking news from Levi Johnston.

Maddow and Olbert are still foaming at the mouth over Bush and Cheney.....

.....they don't have time for more "reporting" or "opinions".

GOP needs to publicly turn up the heat on Eric Holder to demand a full-scale investigation by the United States Justice Dept. He will only be shamed into investigating when the public demands it.

That’s for sure, and maybe not even then.

Charles Gibson had not heard of the Acorn story, much less reported on it.

Charlie would have a tough time finding his ass with his hands tied behind his back.

Does John believe ACORN helped steal the election? I think it`s safe to say NO!!!

I am not saying they did steal the election, but they might have?
++++++++++++++

As much as Obama’s connections to ACORN are the elephant in the room that’s not being talked about, another huge element to this story is the minimization of ACORN for the 2010 election and census.

That in my mind, is at least as big as anything else about this - and bodes very well for conservative causes!
