F*ckin CNN Story On Acorn Disbanding
Wolf had some newsreader giving updates about 30 minutes ago. She said that ACORN's board had voted to disband. "It seems they are having trouble raising money. You'll remember that an activist journalist posed as a pimp and a prostitute and filmed ACORN staff giving them advice on how to get money. Congress voted to defund the group shortly after."

And that was it. No mention that the "journalist" and his pimp story were HOAXES that have been exposed as such for weeks. No mention said journalist is under criminal investigation. No mention that Congress' illegal defunding of ACORN has been overturned. No mention that Congress' illegal action probably led to the group having to disband because Congress' act is the reason the donations stopped.

That's why I don't watch CNN anymore.

5. I was channel surfing, and that story happened to come up as I was passing over CNN.
If my cat hadn't jumped on the back of my chair at that moment and distracted me from my surfing, I probably wouldn't have caught the few secs I did.

2. Wolf doesn't give a rat's ass about the truth, facts, the whole story, or context, he just
passes propaganda like some people pass gas, but he gets to do it on national television.
