Maddow: 'The Truth About the Lies About ACORN'
'The more I look into the misleading nature of the charges ... the angrier I get!' --- Welcome aboard, Rachel!
New academic report details media lies, myths, media misinformation about voter registration, community group...

I was delighted (an understatement) to see Rachel Maddow on Thursday night jump into coverage of ACORN --- finally --- by highlighting so much of what we've been reporting here, sometimes completely alone, for years!

She details the facts about the GOP's long-waged phony war against the right's "most reliable trumped-up boogeyman" (using language akin to that in my recent article in the UK's Guardian on the recent rightwing hit job on ACORN and the Democrats' pathetic capitulation to it). Maddow goes on to note the corporate mainstream media's gullibility in "reporting" the wingnuts' out-and-out lies about the group while failing, miserably, for years, to note the truth.

3. ...reporting lies while "failing" to report the truth - is the corprat media #1 M.O.

The corprat media is a monumental FAIL . . . not only in reporting about ACORN - but about damn near everything.

"the corporate mainstream media's gullibility in "reporting" the wingnuts' out-and-out lies about the group while failing, miserably, for years, to note the truth."

They do that with everything. They're strictly self-serve (masturbators) - they do not serve the public. They serve only at their own pleasure (and profit).
