Whaddaya know about this… I thought this kind of journalism wasn’t journalism; at least so we were told…
Since the undercover ACORN videos from James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles first broke, the grand pooh-bahs of journalism have gone into self-absorbed philosopher mode. Rather than report on the ACORN corruption playing out before our eyes, “journalists” have tsk-tsked their way through thousands of words and yards of column inches making certain that everyone understands that what James and Hannah did IS…NOT…JOURNALISM. (As if that is the existential question to make sense of the ACORN videos.) Undercover videos and assuming fake identities are things real journalists do not do…except when they do.
Yes, this is a prime example of Liberal Hypocrisy 1.01.

Of course, they’ll find a way to excuse what they did because when it comes to being unethical in journalism, it’s only ethical when liberals do it.
I always said the MSM was in the tank for Obama & if this isn’t proof I’ll kiss Ms Palosi’s butt on the Capitol Steps. Yuk, what a horrible thought, but I suppose not as scary as kissing her on the lips with those bug eyes staring you in the face. Wow, I would need a full bottle of Johny Walker’s to have that happen & I don’t even drink!
Liberals can do exactly the same thing as a conservative & the conservative would be an idiot, while the Liberal would an enlightened individualist. I think most of the Libs came from the planet Bonker! It might be time to send them back.

Whether it’s competing interests or American citizens making their voices heard, something has changed. More and more, we observe the divulgence of knowledge, apparently by insiders. Also, they are now on the defensive. The will of America citizens has been made known, and the nature of our enemies has been revealed. At least now, we have gained some insight into the composition of the other side. Let them stop hiding behind semantics and platitudes, and allow people to judge them for what they are. They will no longer be able to practice their selective whatever. What is happening now is no different from any other conflict, including war. Each side has its position and vested interests, and to the victor will go the spoils.
People will choose sides, and the eternal conflict between competing ideologies will progress unimpeded. Let’s hope that more people are not ignorant of history and reality, and will choose the right side. If they don’t, then reality will be forced upon them. This has become a global confrontation between “elites”, and there will be no “debt forgiveness”.
Yes, n.n color me surprised…
Think the Great Unwashed Masses are finally getting wise to the Lamestream Media lackeys? Finally? One can hope.

I am so surprised. NBC playing defense for ACORN. The establishment protecting its interests. They don’t even pretend to hide their incestuous relationships or their obvious bias. Has the propaganda always been so pervasive and blatant? Goebbels must be so proud of his students and followers.
Nothing to see here. Just another paid volunteer lauded by the establishment it serves. In other jobs, this would be considered doing the work for which one is compensated; but, in the world of for-profit “non-profit” businesses, the work is worthy of a “Nobel Peace Prize”. I can’t help but marvel at the audacity of paid volunteers. The self-sacrifice must truly be a great burden to them and the productive members of society which fund their good deeds.
Now with the merits of ACORN firmly established by NBC, let them continue their betrayal of America and embezzlement of her wealth. Oh yes, let the pursuit of excellence in involuntary exploitation continue, unabated. A tax evader here, a prostitute there, a child’s innocence subverted, … This is the “hope and change” that regressives offer.
it’s only ethical when liberals do it
Well, they are the establishment. They who make the rules, also distinguish between right and wrong, on a case by case basis.
