INFREAKINGCREDIBLE!

By Robert Stacy McCain on 3.30.09 @ 11:30PM

The journalistic legacy of Walter Duranty, Herbert Matthews and Jayson Blair is alive and well at the New York Times:

A lawyer involved with legal action against Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) told a House Judiciary subcommittee on March 19 The New York Times had killed a story in October that would have shown a close link between ACORN, Project Vote and the Obama campaign because it would have been a "a game changer."

Heather Heidelbaugh, who represented the Pennsylvania Republican State Committee in the lawsuit against the group, recounted for the committee what she had been told by a former ACORN worker who had worked in the group's Washington, D.C. office. The former worker, Anita Moncrief, told Ms. Heidelbaugh last October, during the state committee's litigation against ACORN, she had been a "confidential informant for several months to The New York Times reporter, Stephanie Strom."

Read the rest, if your digestion can stand it.

C'mon, RSM--you knew the election was rigged. There was no way no how we were going to win in 2008. I wonder what Team Obama, Soros, ACORN and the AFL/CIO have in store for us next? Should be interesting.

Wow! Amazing, but not surprising. Nothing like leaving the American people in the dark so a socialist (to be kind) or a Marxist (to be accurate?) could be elected to the Presidency of the United States. As I continue to call the MSM the Pravda Press...it seems to apply more and more everyday. We need a fair press to keep this country free. Our press instead of speaking truth to power is walking hand-in-hand with it to the detriment of the country. You'd think the words "Free Press" would actually mean something to them. "Free" requires freedom, not just of the press, but of the people they are suppose to inform.
