		<description>Vin - Breitbart&#039;s Big Journalism is a right-wing propaganda outlet. It has zero credibility among normal people in the real world. I suspect that you don&#039;t know that what you posted here is someone&#039;s opinion and speculation, not facts. 

If you&#039;ve got legit sources -- not Big Journalism, Fox and hatemonger bloggers and radio hosts -- that prove that the California attorney general bungled the investigation into ACORN, show that O&#039;Keefe did not purposefully edit the video to deceive viewers, or provide some rationale for Fox&#039;s broadcasting unvetted material that turned out to be decptively edited, which was unprofessional &lt;i&gt;at best&lt;/i&gt;, post them. 

If not, you&#039;re wasting our bandwidth posting right-wing disinformation. Regular people can see right through it.</description>

		<description>Another version of the truth:   http://bigjournalism.com/bshapiro/2010/04/10/california-dreamin-rachel-maddow-and-gov-moonbeam-cover-up-the-real-acorn-scandal/

&quot;To sum up, the left’s supposed debunking of the ACORN story is no such thing.  There was no crime here because of O’Keefe and Giles, not because of the actions of the ACORN employees.  If O’Keefe and Giles had indeed been a pimp and a prostitute, there clearly would be a crime here.  They weren’t, so the ACORN employees are off the hook.  The truth is that the real story here is Jerry Brown’s failure to do his job and investigate past ACORN practices to uncover similar situations where actual criminal activity took place, and Rachel Maddow’s willing cooperation in a pathetic cover up of the deeply disturbing (and in other cases, probably criminal) activity at ACORN.&quot;

This purported &quot;failure&quot; is much ado about nothing</description>

		<description>Hi Zach - &quot;Corporate media&quot; refers to the big news outlets that are owned by giant corporations -- ABC, NBC, CBS and large newspaper chains. Jon Stewart is a comedian, who hosts a fake news show on Comedy Central, which is owned by Viacom, which owns CBS. Keith Olbermann, Rachel Maddow, Ed Schultz and (sometimes) Chris Matthews also criticize Fox on MSNBC, but they are considered liberal commentators and so don&#039;t have the heft that the big time journos have. It&#039;s these journalists who have the biggest stake in preserving their profession, a responsibility they&#039;re ignoring when it comes to Fox.</description>

		<description>Nobody in the corporate media talked about Fox having propaganda instead of news? What about Jon Stewart?</description>

		<description>I worked for Acorn once upon a time.  One of the more tedious jobs I had to do was comb over voter registration forms and petitions looking for fakes, which I had to take note of.  ACORN was annoying to work for, but they were pretty scrupulous and above-board when it came to legalities.</description>

&quot;How’s that hopey changey stuff working out for you?&quot;

I don&#039;t know what&#039;s worse:  1) your proof that you are just another mindless drone who repeats what Palin tells you to repeat, or  2)  that your apparent point is that everybody should embrace your candidate, which apparently wants people to have no hope or ever have anything change.</description>

The best part about your comment is that you totally ignored the blaring obvious truth that fox altered the interviews to deceive its viewers. Did you not get that part? Do you understand they changed the context of what was being said entirely?</description>

		<description>That was an epic troll and a lot of people bit.  It&#039;s best to ignore his kind.  They are the vocal minority and don&#039;t deserve the attention they get.</description>

		<description>Leave it to the 5 year old mentality of people like foxfan. If acorn did do other things wrong- it still doesn&#039;t excuse FOX from lying and making up facts. Its the typical conservative kindergarten ethics. Some how anything is excusable if you can shift the blame to someone else. Like you would have to tell a five year, if acorn jumped off a bridge, doesn&#039;t mean you should too.</description>
