Sweetheart, Get Me Rewrite: ACORN and the James Rainey Saga
by Michael Walsh

The hidden-camera videos by James O‘Keefe and Hannah Giles detailing the inner workings of the taxpayer-funded leftist racket known as ACORN have set off a storm of journalistic controversy, but not in the way one might think. Rather than engaging the substance of the stories first made available on Big Government and later on Fox News – that ACORN, to put it generously, seems to be staffed by an inordinate number of employees blithely willing to aid and, if possible, abet criminal activity – the dinosaur media has reacted not by investigating the message but by attacking the messengers, all in the name of “journalistic ethics.â€

Since the undercover ACORN videos from James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles first broke, the grand pooh-bahs of journalism have gone into self-absorbed philosopher mode. Rather than report on the ACORN corruption playing out before our eyes, “journalistsâ€

We no longer have the problem of yellow journalism as was evident in the beginning of the last century. We have problem of little nuances trying to bend our opinion.

There is very little objectivity in any publication or media outlet. There is only subtle bias trickling down from the corporations.

Well stated vortex.

My question for the MSM would be what does ILLEGAL mean? How many ways can it be colored?
