The mainstream media are hoping that at some point in the process, the American people will tire of the ACORN corruption issue and simply move on. This is what happened with the Monica Lewinsky and corruption scandals of the Clinton presidency.

Monica Lewinsky was not demanding millions and millions of our tax dollars.

Why do they use black people as the face of the organization when it’s run by rich white guys? They want any any challenge to be deemed racist. That is what the media fears, they don’t want to end up on Obama’s enemies list.

Wrong. They are not scared. They are part of the corruption. The Corrupted Media is as bad as the Corrupt Officials.

The article doesn’t answer the title question. It asks the question, “is the media afraid of ACORN” and then goes on to repeat what we already know: that the media has prioritized advancing a left-wing agenda over getting at the truth. That is true, but it doesn’t answer the title question and doesn’t even suggest that there’s a particular reason for asking the question.

If the media is on the same side of every issue with Obama and ACORN, and they act as a propaganda organ for Obama and ACORN, and they love doing it and it’s what they want to do, where does “fear” play a part?

The writer should either answer his own question or change the title of the article to: “The Media is a Leftist Front”

Human shields. When BOR interviewed Bertha Lewis a while back, she brought an elderly blind black minister with her. The minister didn't appear to have anything useful to say. She was nothing but a human shield for Lewis.

Use is the definitive word. They use them as slaves and the dumb people don't even recognize it

The media, like any corporation, is intimidated by any group that can bus thousands of unemployable pieces of sh!t to your doorstep (see Rainbow PUSH, for example). I love how somebody pointed out that the TEA parties have to be held on weekends; similar to the “Why don’t I see Obama bumper stickers on my drive to work?” thing...

Yet you won't see this on your TV unless you happen to be watching Fox News. Others are refusing to report this corruption.

You know this is no different than when Hussein said he "had visited all 57 states but may have missed one or two" during the '08 election campaign.

Our buddies like Charlie Gibson in the SRM got right on that too. < /sarc>

Structural corruption.

Even European and Asian well-to-does I know who are not stupid, but have a good analysis of the US, can see and and confide in me that we are indeed corrupt and controlled in our national media.

The reason this story is ignored is that, traced all the way up, it could well lead right into the Oval Office, and could lead right to issues surrounded the election of 2008 and legitimacy.

And they CAN NOT have that.

Why would NBC ever report on ACORN? NBC is no longer a News Organization. NBC is a Liberal/Socialist Infomercial operation.

It’s clear the White House exerts pressure on the media to limit unwanted coverage. I understand that that is one of Rahm’s little gems that he oversees.

And it appears to work until things bubble over.

I believe the Liberal Information Media gets its daily storyboard directly from the White House. I often hear Rush play the Montage of Liberal Info operatives repeat the same line of the day over and over and over. Only Fox News reports a differnet line. That is why Fox is so popular. I liken it to having 10 car dealers in one city. 9 of the dealers sell only GM. The other dealer sells all the other cars on the market. Who will do the most biz?
