Charlie Gibson Doesn't Know About the ACORN Videos?

[red states rule]

Now I know why the liberal media has not been reporting on ACORN - they did not know about it

Maybe Charlie should watch Fox News to keep up on current events

Let's face it, when you fabricate your own news stories you don't have time to listen to the REAL news stories, never mind investigate them. We don't see news reporters on TV anymore, we see "journalists" and they are two very different animals.

I can see Charlie the day after the 2010 midterms. He will report House Dems did lose 4 seats - and had minor setbacks in 52 other races

An organization that gets money from the Government, that tells people that are trying to run an illegal business, how to cheat on thier taxes, isn't a story if they back a Democrat President

Well, face it people, the media, for the most part, only tells half truths or no truth at all. They are biased as hell. They'll twist and turn the info to suit whichever slant they want to put on it. By the time the item hits the public, it's been mangled so much it takes much digging to decipher what it all means, in actuality.....

The reason Charlie doesn't know about ACORN is because Axelrod has not given him a green light to report on it. He only takes his leads from the White House and lord knows that the WH would never encourage anyone to "look into" what ACORN might be doing.

And, as long as Glen Beck or anyone on FOX is involved in it, it is just tabloid news to Charlie...........a little "beneath" him and with those little glasses of he wears, his nose is too high in the air to see what's right in front of him.

The news isn't bias anymore. It is bais when you present a different point of view and then another. I don't know what you would call this....

ABC's Good Morning America did a hit piece against the conservative activists that created the hidden videos.

While they played the tape of the ACORN workers stating how to lie to the cops about underage prostitutes. ABC kept emphasizing that the activists admitted this was a set up And kept calling it a trap.

None of that should matter. What should matter is that these people were caught on video giving advise to what they thought was a prostitute on how to buy a home to start a brothel.

and now an excuse is offered form the liberal "journalist" Mike Allen


Politico’s Mike Allen: Networks Have to Cover ‘Real News;' Too Busy to Talk About ACORN

The Politico’s Mike Allen appeared on Wednesday’s Morning Joe to both defend the mainstream media’s decision to ignore the ACORN controversy and agree that a double standard is at work. Commenting on a piece he wrote about the subject, the former New York Times reporter spun, "And what we heard was news executives saying that there's so much out there. Two wars, health care, a President who's struggling, that they didn't have time to focus on this."

Asserting that, somehow, Americans should appreciate the media’s efforts to spike coverage of ACORN, He cheered, "I think we should be grateful for that filter so that you go to places- NBC News, Politico, others- that you can trust and you’ll know that what is there is accurate and not speculation." Grateful? How can viewers be expected to trust a source when that outlet ignores certain inconvenient stories?

At the same time, Allen admitted that this was a "wake-up" call for journalists and he agreed with host Joe Scarborough’s contention that if the Christian Coalition had been caught in a sting operation encouraging illegal activity, it would have been a "huge story."

Co-host Willie Geist noted that ACORN has blamed the scandal, in which employees can be seen apparently condoning a child prostitution ring, on a "Fox News obsession." Allen, the chief political correspondent for Politico, then delved into the mind set of those in the so-called mainstream media: "The topic- and this is one of the reasons that reporters, including myself, initially tuned this out- is that ACORN has been an obsession. ACORN has been a longtime whipping boy."

Scarborough pointed out the obvious double standard: "...If the Christian Coalition had been involved in something like that in 1995, The New York Times would have picked that up, and it would have been on the front page the next day."

Allen responded with yet another excuse: "And the fact is that people assume that these decisions are ideological when, in fact, we have other blinders. And they included the fact there is all this other real news that news organizations have to cover whereas bloggers can focus on one particular thing. They don't also have to pay attention to Afghanistan."
