Re: Pimpin’ Ain’t Easy
The formerly mainstream media has consigned itself to the dung heap with their ignorance of the “pimp and the prostitute” undercover videos from New York this morning.
The formerly mainstream media has consigned itself to the dung heap with their ignorance of the “pimp and the prostitute” undercover videos from New York this morning. Big Government posted the reports at 12:35 a.m., proving ACORN chief organizer Bertha Lewis a liar. That still is not worthy of news stories — anywhere — on the homepages of the New York Times, USA Today (have they done any stories yet?), Washington Post, CBS News, NBC News (and its cable offerings), ABC News, or CNN Sucks.
No excuses. They’ve had nearly half-a-day to at least link to some kind of report — even a couple of sentences — about the development. They all do with other types of breaking news. They watch Drudge constantly, like the rest of us news junkies, who has the story up. Yet still nothing. Also, the Census Bureau dumped ACORN on Friday and still no original reports from anyone other than ABC’s Jake Tapper — in a blog post.
So why this organization — that serially enables prostitution, tax evasion, child sex trafficking and voter fraud after they enhanced the ability of our current president to get elected — get a pass from the traditional journalists? Because just like ACORN, they know their credibility is shot and to give the story the attention it deserves underscores their own sorry behavior.

We need to picket the
offices of the commie media and demand they tell the truth.... Us Alinsky rules against them and bring them down... they are already tanking... so maybe a "Nudge" in right direction!!!

The fact that this isn't a story in the MSM should be a story in every other news outlet. Make these ass clowns sweat. They figure they are invincible, even with tanking ratings/profitability - in that, when they fail, their reward for gargling Osama's satchel will be a nice bailout and the elimination of their competition by some unelected, unaccountable czar.

I pray that Barry HUSSEIN Obama, the Kenyan Marxist Manchurian Nazi From Kenya, doesn't put ACORN in charge of the death panels or he may sentence our grandparents to death-by-prostitution.
In my professional opinion it is time to panic.

ACORN=Obama, that's why. Must protect the Chairman, at all costs. that is the role of the Agit-prop media. Michelle, the kids and the dog will abandon the Chairman before they do.

Have you considered that the MSM does not consider criminal activity by a liberal organization as “News” as the MSM knows the “Activist Groups” are thinly disguised criminal gangs. The Robin Hood mystic is alive and well in the MSM. So to be loved by the MSM all a organization needs to do is claim to give to the poor. No MSM personal will have the bad taste to look at the books to find out if the poor receive anything. The Liberalism does not care about criminal activity as long as the public front looks good.

The MSM and it's editors, writers, managers, etc are nothing but PROSTITUTES themselves. They pander to [and have visual intercourse with] the liberal readers that salivate over every untruth that is printed inside same. It's unclear as who tells more provaracations/lies----Obama/Democrats or its brainwashing system/MSM !!!!
