Here is video of Fox News' Megyn Kelly talking with Andrew Breitbart this morning about the ACORN Scandal, and the way the media has covered it.
Breitbart hammered CNN for their coverage of the ACORN Scandal, pointing out how they have repeatedly allowed themselves to be a conduit for the ACORN line.
Breitbart said they rolled the videos out like they did in order to set "traps" for ACORN and the Mainstream Media.
Breitbart said ACORN's claim James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles were kicked out of numerous ACORN offices is "false." In fact, he said "there are more videos to come," including videos from some of the offices ACORN claimed they were kicked out of!
He said they have offered for O'Keefe and Giles to go on CNN for interviews if CNN would run the video. . . (VIDEO)

Next week’s Beck shows should be fun.

Not only are these kids clever, they’re smart.
Bless you, Andrew Breitbart. (and I would add, you aren’t a bad looking guy either.)
What CNN coverage of ACORN? I just checked their website and there is no mention of ACORN on it. However, there is a feature story about two women who died because they didn’t have health insurance.
And ACORN and the MSM walked right in - because both are as corrupt as we thought they were...
CNN=The Communist News Network
ACORN can't even push the lies about what offices "kicked them out" because they don't know what offices are taped...

UNITED WAY SUPPORTS ACORN - - STOP DONATING TODAY
Great Americans all!
Release the next tape on Monday, after Bertha Lewis’ interview on Sunday with Chris Wallace.
:)
I saw the interview. On occasion I will flip over to CNN and watching them is getting a bit odd—even more so than usual. CNN has found themselves painted into a corner and they know if they give air-time to these stories the focus will then become them (CNN) for not showing to the viewers.
Now, the AP writer knows this. The editors of my local paper, the Free-Lance Star, know this.
They also know of Obama's many affiliations with ACORN, and that "community organizing" was the centerpiece of Obama's campaign claims.
Middle America doesn't make it to page A3, and doesn't make it to the fifth paragraph. And Middle America doesn't ACTIVELY look up for itself the lies in paragraph five and the missing information that should have been in paragraphs one and two.
We have our work cut out for us. It starts with the editors of your local paper, and the news teams at your local FM radio station. They need to be ridiculed into doing their journalistic jobs properly.
THIS IS BIG NEWS.
Today Glen is suppose to have something new. Not sure what, he was his usual playful self yesterday. It works, I’ll be watching today.
When Jay Leno and Jon Stewart cover ACORN but CNN is nowhere to be found, you know that the stench of liberal bias at the MSM is beyond foul.
His interviewer ain't bad-lookin' either.
Smart tactic, first broadcast the videos, ACORN get’s caught, the ACORN protectors make false claims, accusations, false proof, Democrats digging their heals in deeper, then , show more videos and debunk all their lies, and then they lie more, more fake claims, more fake proof, then show more videos.
Spot on analysis.
The Monica Media figured it was a freakish, one-time incident with nothing more to follow and ignored the story or dismissed it as a prank, not to be reported but ridiculed if it was ever brought up.
And now with more and more videos being released, they can only sit at the station denying there was ever a train there, all the while trying to cover the tracks.
Stuck between the rock of reality of a real scandal and the hard place of looking stupid by excluding any coverage of it, they have chosen to remain stuck on stupid.
After all, it worked so well for Dan Rather.
And more and more people will be looking to FOX for the real news.
The only ACORN coverage that CNN will do is when James and Hannah accepts to have a interview with CNN.
I've said it on other threads this slow release of the vids is a Master Stroke in tactics.
You keep the water churning and you force the opponent to react and as such you destroy all credibility of the opponent.
Example: After first video: ACORN responds: "Oh its just one office out of thousands and they tried this other places and it didn't work..."
Then NEW vids surface and prove them wrong.
Several tacks are tried by ACORN all or destroyed by further release of Videos.
Other tacks tried:
ACORN sez: "They only chose offices where poor black people work." Next Video released is of a white woman who claims she killed her husband and tries to help the Pimp and Hooker to set up a brothel with 13 year old illegal alien girls from San Salvador.
ACORN claims they knew that Hannah and James were undercover journalists and they just played along for laughs. A new Vid is released where a guy tells James he can help in getting the 13 year old illegal alien hookers in across the Mexican Border and when questioned by the authorities the guy claims he didn't really understand because English is his second language and he was just trying to help.
The slow release of these videos has the entire Democrat Party in a shambles right now and they are reeling from all the body blows being landed by two kids who spent less money on their undercover investigation than it took to erect one of those stupid highway signs that are supposed to show us how the stimulus money was spent.
You are right. THEY KNOW... and they're keeping a cover on the story...
...
Release the next video Sunday morning, pre-empt the Obama Sunday morning shows.
They can’t cover ACORN or Van Jones because it makes their man look bad and we can’t have that now can we?
Didn’t Juan Carlos mention 2 Cali DAs in that video ?
All the fringe media have left is to report on their president...24/7. They’ve backed themselves into a corner, doubling down on Obama since the campaign days (is the campaigning over yet?), and selling their collective souls to do it. I hope they continue to wither on the vine. Dummies don’t even know they’re dying!
A question not being asked by anyone is, if it was this easy to get ACORN to help with child sex slaves being imported into the US, then how many times have they helped set up such enterprises in the past? Shouldn’t a grand jury be talking to these ACORN people?
Lets just call her Big Bertha. Then we can just put a head cover on her and bag her.
YES! I love Beck and Rush and Hannity and Levin and all the other's but dear God why don't they ask this obvious question.
They did the same thing on the Wilson "you Lie" incident.
They seem to never link the point that YES, Wilson was wrong BUT the President DID LIE and HE DID SO MULTIPLE TIMES IN THAT SPEECH!
Rick Sanchez/CNN interviewed the Bertha women/ACORN yesterday. He ended his segment stating, “where is this conservative filmmaker getting his money and why won’t they release the unedited tapes”. I spit out my coffee. The move to release these tapes one at a time was brilliant. The media has been silent because they can’t spin it if more tapes are coming out - they don’t want to look foolish. But they’re too late.
I love Andrew Breitbart. When he first started up his website I sent him and email complimenting him on the work he was doing and he actually took the time to write back and thank me.
Yep, I agree. The way they’re rolling this out is masterful. The press is used to these types of “conservative espose’” pieces being a one-hit wonder, and they know that if the press doesn’t follow through, it usually sinks out of the headlines in a couple days.
Not so when the Hannah & James Show are releasing a stead stream of these this.
After another week of this, the DNC & press will be so shell-shocked, they’re going to do something really desperate and probably stupid.
The fact that Breitbart was the only outfit they could trust with says a lot about our media. They have to shine a light on the quashed ACORN story from the election too.
Yes, some Democrats still have morals. They will need to leave the Democrat party to keep them.
This is definitely something that can be done at the local level to continue and intensify the movement. If you have local paper that is habitually liberal, call them on by phoning up the editor, protest etc.. I would think also in this day and time that many midsize city dailies can be put out of business by objective journalistic competition.
My mother and father have been registered Democrats all of their adult lives. (over 50 years) yesterday they officially changed to the GOP. Health care pushed them to the edge, Democrats voting against the bill to defund ACORN was the final straw!
I’m sure the ACORN Exec are questioning all their branches about what they said to these two reporters. The branches probably won’t tell them the truth, because they don’t want to loose their jobs and will wait and hope that they don’t appear on tape.
I hope they hit the mortgage issue a bit harder. San Diego was a prime place to do that,,but it has been lost in the child prostitution charges.
obama is so connected to acorn the complete truth about him and his chicago dealings will come out. the usurper needs to go back to kenya and live in his grannies hut.

Every loan they made should be looked at with an eye to protecting children being raped and tortured with ACORN's help. These ACORN people did not act like this was the first time they had heard about children being kept in whore houses. There was NO shock. No surprise... I think you're right, Defiant - there are kids in these houses that ACORN knows about ...
Those children could also be used to keep liberal pols in line and funding ACORN. The rock was picked up - now we need to see what's under it. Every ACORN person in those offices needs to be put under oath...
God bless Breitbart, Hannah and James!
CNN can Shove It!
I like it - some of the new ones are worse - Sunday morning might be interesting.
Refreshing!
