                                The scandal enveloping community-organizing group ACORN “has everything you could ever want,” Dan Gainor writes for Fox News: “corruption, sleazy actions at tax-funded organizations, firings, government ties, sex, hookers. It is a network news director’s dream.” Curiously, ABC, CBS, and NBC aren't covering the brouhaha that got the organization banned from 2010 census-taking duties. Because “when they find something inconvenient, they let it pass.”
                                </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.newser.com/story/69473/acorn-is-rotten-and-mainstream-media-ignores-it.html"><P>
                        Fox, of course, is doing its due diligence on the group that has received $53 million in federal funds since 1994, Gainor writes. Big newspapers have taken “a passing glance” at the story of ACORN employees advising faux pimps and hookers on skirting the law, though Gainor declares himself “underwhelmed.” For its part, ACORN has blamed “news” agency Fox for orchestrating the whole thing. “Yeah, all that about under-aged prostitution, corruption and government connections isn’t news.”
