Today's Headlines

From the "pimp" in the video on why he isn't returning phone calls from CNN...

So far CNN has only reported on the breaking story on blatant ACORN CORRUPTION from angles that attempt to extricate the government funded ?community organizing? enterprise from the extreme crime we caught on videotape.

First CNN pushed the false ACORN line that ?[t]his film crew tried to pull this sham at other offices and failed.?

To set that record straight please check the Washington D.C. tape we dropped today at BigGovernment.com, which is also being aired on your cable news competitor with curiously higher ratings.

Now that ACORN lied to you, Jonathan Klein, what are you going to do?

Here?s what I have noticed from your coverage: You brought in the damage control crowd to FRAME the story. Before even airing our damning Baltimore video. You know your audience would turn on ACORN if you showed them the evidence. So instead you put your competitors in journalism in the crosshairs instead of airing a blockbuster report making massive waves elsewhere.

You even trotted out shameless Clinton era apologist Joe Conason to challenge the ETHICS of our expose. Unreal.

What about the ethics of those at ACORN caught on tape trying to help create a brothel featuring illegal immigrant age range 13-15 from El Salvador?

What about the countless laws broken on tape from a group that stands to get billions from President Obama?s ?stimulus? package?

Why don?t we wait to have the Columbia Journalism School debate on ?journalistic ethics? after you do actual journalism.

When you air the raw ACORN footage that is now viral on the Internet, and being played on FOX NEWS and countless talk radio shows, then and only then ? when America can see, hear and smell the stench we have exposed ? will I subject myself to a CNN hit job.

Very good news!

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Census Bureau on Friday severed its ties with ACORN, a community organization that has been hit with Republican accusations of voter-registration fraud.

"We do not come to this decision lightly," Census director Robert Groves wrote in a letter to ACORN, which was obtained by The Associated Press.

In splitting with ACORN, Groves sought to tamp down GOP concerns and negative publicity that the partnership will taint the 2010 head count.

"It is clear that ACORN's affiliation with the 2010 census promotion has caused sufficient concern in the general public, has indeed become a distraction from our mission, and may even become a discouragement to public cooperation, negatively impacting 2010 census efforts," Groves wrote.

Stephen Buckner, a census spokesman, confirmed the letter, but declined additional comment.

From yesterday's Financial Times:

A full-blown trade row erupted between the US and China after Beijing accused Washington of ?rampant protectionism? for imposing heavy duties on imported Chinese tyres and threatened action against imports of US poultry and vehicles.

Trade relations between two of the world?s biggest economies deteriorated after Barack Obama, US president, signed an order late on Friday to impose a new duty of 35 per cent on Chinese tyre imports on top of an existing 4 per cent tariff.

Great, just what we needed... a trade war with China. Thanks, Barry.

wtf is a t-Y-r-e.

Wow a 35% increase in taxations ,that is very very extreme. Buy american as I just doubled the retail prices of your foreign tires so they are not more expensive than the american ones!

I am sure that will increase the flow of money in the country, by making people delay buying tires even longer.

Well, Chinese tires are crap to begin with, much like Chinese drywall.

BTW, that's a kickass name for a band...."Chinese Drywall"....

I'm likin' it.

Oh I know that. I was making a spellcheck joke.

"Bernard Goldberg pointed out that Fox News already has the
conservatives viewing. He noted the reasons their (Fox News') ratings
keep going up - month after month - is that Independents and Democrats
are now tuning in.

They are tuning in because CNN and MSNBC are not covering news
relevant to them.

A recent Pew Research Study confirms Goldberg's position. Pew's
research now indicates more than 50% of Fox News viewers are
Indpendents and Democrats.

Women watch Fox News in greater numbers than men.

Liberals are outraged." - "Useful Idiots" @ townhall.com

I've heard some refer to themselves as "South Park Republicans".
