ABC NEWS FINALLY DISCUSSING ACORN!! (Can't Ignore the Elephant in the Room Any Longer)
WABC Radio ^ | 09-16-09 | CWW

Posted on 09/16/2009 12:13:53 PM PDT by CWW

ABC News just lead off its 3:00 p.m. radio newscast with a report on ACORN, including comments at today's condemnation by Gobbs at the Whitehouse Presser!!

Just like Van Jones, they lamestream media can no longer ignore this huge political story!

I guess once John Stewart made fun of Press for ignoring the story, the alphabet networks and the print media to go after ACORN -- including the LA Times and the NYT -- were shamed into reporting the story.

Kudos to Fox News, Glenn Beck, Hannity, Breitbart and those two young folks who risked it all to get the truth out!!

They have no choice but to discuss it-—it’s the “B” plane. Protect O!

Put Brian Ross on the story.
He's always on the trail of a good scoop (whoops, Brian was snoozing.)

ABCBSNBC had to get its talking points from the white house before they could move forward. The sad thing is that this is most likely not a joke.

Kind of a pretentious name for a blog that's six months behind the curve.

ACORN ABC will announce a temporary “shutdown”, change its name and begin again. The typical leftist group old school news network.

Applying a little Alinsky Rules for Radicals to the LSM...

RULE 3: "Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy." {LSM} Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty. Watch how many organizations under attack {the alphabet networks} are blind-sided by seemingly irrelevant arguments that they are then forced to address.)

I think it was less than two weeks ago. But there have been numerous reports of ACORN corruption going back over a year at least. And now ABC news has reported ... something.

Never going to trust the MSM at this rate, never thought their creditability with me would go as low as it has.

Dragged kicking and screaming, and still full of spin.

There you go. That post just exceeded all network news coverage for the last two years by a factor of at least ten.

I was arguing with Jake Tapper about it on Twitter this morning. He called me “disengenous”.

I responded that only he reported on it on his blog ... but given that Charlie Gibson and Jon Banner [of ABC] were not on board until today ... and their failure on Van Jones, ABC was seriously lacking.

Of course, I had to say it in 140 words or less :)

It was reported on the ABC Evening News. The slant taken was that Republicans have been critical of ACORN for years. The head of ACORN said the recent attacks are racially motivated against poor black people who need help.

Yup - saw the same broadcast. Notice how they first trotted out the extensive resume of ACORN (allegedly) helping the poor, homeless and all before bringing up the bad stuff. Grudging report if I ever saw one.
