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

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:

Don’t blame the DNC media. They were on their knees with their mouths full. Not polite to talk with your mouth full.

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

That’s what gets me about this -

who DIDN’T know that ACORN was a raqueteering corrupt organization before these vids came out?

They’re just NOW getting on it because they appear to be (what they are) complicit.

It was very well done. In 6 minutes, he captured the whole thing—child prostitution and tax fraud. Kudos to him and his writers and editors.

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

Is this the same media that sent dozens of reporters to Wasilla, Alaska to look for dirt on a political candidate where no accusations of wrongdoing were ever charged?

This story writes itself. It has sexual degradation, sexual abuse of minors, illegal importation of children for sex trades, tax fraud, money laundering and on and on. What it is missing of course is a Republican, and the story is therefore useless.

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.

Obama *IS* ACORN.

I think more stuff will come out showing the close ties. It is the elephant sitting in the room that no one is talking about.
