8. I agree, the media knew but did nothing.
Bloggers were able to dig into the story and find eg, O'Keefe's website before he scrubbed it. But the media with all the tools they have, never came close to covering the real story behind what happened to ACORN. The question is why? It was a fascinating story that probably would have had huge ratings as they uncovered it night after night. But they deliberately dropped it as soon as the facts began to emerge. And then went on to 'legitimize' the criminal, James O'Keefe and Breitbart.

Shirley Sherrod is suing Breitbart for the next racist stunt they pulled, not having had any consequences for their ACORN stunts. And Juan Carlos, the ACORN worker who actually did call the police, not once but twice on them, but was smeared and lied about and lost his job over and the media never straightened out his story either, he too is suing them.

I hope these cases will provide some justice for the victims of Breitbart and O'Keefe but I doubt we'll hear about on the US MSM.
