there was so little fact-checking in this exercise that Fox News' Glenn Beck ran a video in which a San Bernardino ACORN organizer said she had killed her husband -- when she had not.

Debra J. Saunders didn't watch Beck or others. Everyone said they didn't know what to make of it. Beck said law enforcement was contacted and had no comment. Showing her saying she shot her husband made the point ACORN hires lunatics whether she did kill or husband or not.

What was Beck supposed to do? Hide that part of the tape?

If he did the left would say he hid the part proving she is delusional.

What is the matter with Saunders? She's usually brighter than this.

She's not really making much sense with that conclusion. If she fancies herself a journalist, she might fancy Beck's unorthodox reporting to be below her lofty standards.

The problem Saunders should consider is that this may be the only type of reporting -- sensationalism -- that could make a dent in a that sacred cow of Congress, ACORN. There's been oceans of words written about their corruption in every area -- tax evasion, embezzlement, violent tactics, illegal use of federal money, just to name a few -- and nothing of any significance has been done to halt that corruption.

This -- visually candid proof of the corruption -- might yield real results.
