Dear Mainstream Media, When Will you Accurately Report on ACORN?

By Michael Kerr | 10/21/09

Dear Mainstream Media, When are you going to report on the facts regarding ACORN, (i.e., the offender) rather than focusing on the whistle blowers? You sat on this story until it became too big to ignore and when you finally did report on it, your focus was on the messenger. Turns out, the messenger has even more evidence which directly refutes claims made by ACORN, which you were all too happy to parrot. Do your political considerations... read more »
