ACORN

Hey Ellionnwy, don't own DLF too hard please?

I can't help it, it's too easy when you make completely false claims.

It wasn't false. Everything I posted happened. She DID say she killed her husband. Did you not get that it just came up within the past two days that she was lieing? No one owned me that's stupid. ACORN is a horrible organization. I hope they get hit so hard with this stuff that they have to stop their community "organizing". They are corrupt. It doesn't matter if they voted with the ballots or not. Those pieces of trash they have working there still screwed it up. I guess they think they are still on the block with their homies and they can do whatever they want.

And you were all to ready to believe it.

Uhh, actually there is a huge difference between whether they voted with the phony registrations, a HUGE difference. In your scenario they tried to get more registrations so the democrats could get more votes, which is illegal and would have resulted in them being shut down if there was any truth to it. In another scenario, the TRUE scenario, is that certain people decided to just forge registrations instead of meeting their quotas, or just trying to get paid without doing any work. ACORN was the organization that reported these fraudulent registrations and cooperated fully with the investigation.

Factcheck.org demolished the accusations that ACORN had anything to do with voter fraud. Please note, voter registration fraud and voter fraud are two ENTIRELY different things.

It was just two nights ago when Fox News was the only news station in the country even airing the videos.

That should tell you something right there.....FOX NEWS. How can you watch that? I tried once and couldn't stomach it. I watch 'real' news channels.

Indeed, they shouldn't have credulously reported something so obviously insane without the simplest of fact checking.

Fox News in infamous for not fact checking. From what I hear anyway (maybe I should fact check about that). So if DLF is getting the bulk of her information from Fox News I understand now why her position on certain issues is what it is.

I've seen a report on the Dutch drug policy, they got about every fact wrong in that 2 minute segment or so, and people like Bill O'Reilly went to town on it and even skewed the report worse than it already was.

I don't believe something as trivial as the truth will get in the way of a juicy story for Fox News.

That said, I don't have that much confidence in MSNBC or ABC either.

No. I don't get my news from Fox. However, since they were the ONLY station reporting about it then I listened. Actually during the airing of the tape Fox said they didn't know for sure if she had murdered her husband or not. Did you see the woman though? I mean did you see her crackhead ass? Does it matter if she murdered her husband? WHO says they murdered someone in the first place? Is that something a sane person would lie about?

The issue isn't this trailer trash chick. It's that all offices visited were willing to help them knowing they were completely illegal.

Obviously this video was a good idea. They are being investigated heavily and the government within just a few days of the videos have cut their funding. Anything to stop giving money away to undeserving people/organizations.

Oh what is a REAL news station? They all do the same thing. You can watch Liberal media, Conservative media, Independent media. They all show what the network wants them to show that fits within their party lines. There is no REAL media. Haven't you noticed how people are hating the media just as much as politicians and Washington right now?

Certain MSNBC shows, yes. I personally am a fan of Maddow and Olbermann, they do their best to fact check and are happy to correct themselves when they are wrong. Yes, they may be liberally biased, but they do have journalistic integrity. Even Olbermann will admit when he's hyperbolic, usually in his Worst Person's segment.

I also like Anderson Cooper 360. Those are my sources of televised news. Watch all 3 every morning via podcast at work.
