I wouldn't know about the Commie news network you speak of, we don't get those channels here in the U.S.

However the news channels in the U.S during Bush showed both sides, the ugly and the human sides to the Iraq war. You do have a point on the fact that has taken a back seat to domestic issues. The same could be said for the Rightie's favorite channel Faux news. Haven't heard about much coverage from them, soooo have you called Hannity to find out why?

BECAUSE THE FACT THAT ANY OF THEM SAID YES IS DESPICABLE!!! By your rationale, we should have given news coverage to the Al-Qaeda members who didn't hijack the planes on 9/11, rather than the ones that did.

Because thats whats expected of them

Lets go to pathetic levels to prove a point..
Lady buys a coffee at McDonalds and spills it on herself which results in a claim for millions of dollars in damages. Do you think the fact that McDonalds serves millions of cups of coffee a day = news, or the fact that the one that did indeed spill wasnt news?

House burns to the ground isnt news because most homes dont catch on fire?

Space shuttle blowing up, wasnt news because usually, they go up just fine?

Its news because its UNEXPECTED, and the only way acorn not telling individuals to break the law would not be news is you expected them to take that course of action..

Its called balanced Journalism, but then again FAUX news is not known for that. Two video's released of two locations, ONLY those that fit in their mold. Why haven't they NOT only reported on those locations that had workers with integrity and did the right thing, but ONLY focused on those that deserved EXACTLY what they got and maybe more? You really need to learn about reading comprehension and stop with the subliminal reading.

Why blame FOX news for this? They had nothing to do with it, they just reported it.

It's not like they made the whole thing up like they do on the gubmint network stations.

I guess you just don't like the message so you're attacking the messenger for showing it to you.

What? You read subliminal messages too. The fact that you would use that particular scenerio today of all days is just as dispicable as those workers. Ignore.

Do you folks understand what your readin, or is everything combative to you? My question was a valid one. Where is the complete report,Where is the acknowledgement that this was performed in other districts and they were shown the door, these are the workers that that followed the rules and did their job. You guys say it isn't news Why?

Its not a report, its a video, and why would we want to see a report over videos? The "prositute" is so much hotter on film than any photo could display..

Why on earth do you think it would be newsworthy for ACORN to tell someone else to FOLLOW THE LAW?

I would bet if the guilty parties in these ACORN offices were white, you would either be condemning them or silent on the issue.

blackandproud, you're really painting yourself into a corner with the position you've taken on this.
