Correction: ACORN’s Troubles
By The Associated Press (AP) – 20 hours ago
WASHINGTON — In a Sept. 19 story about the community organizing group ACORN, The Associated Press, based on an account in The Washington Post, erroneously quoted a conservative journalist saying he targeted the organization for hidden-camera videos because its voter-registration drives bring minority voters to the polls.
The Washington Post on Tuesday printed a correction about the quote. Although ACORN registers people mostly from those groups, the maker of the videos, James E. O’Keefe, did not specifically mention minorities, the newspaper said.

Whaddaya know? The mainstream/Statist media included inaccuracies in their propaganda.
Go figure.
I suppose we can at least be thankful for the corrections, if nothing else.
In their zeal to suppress the impact of the ACORN story broken here, they obviously made some "factually challenged" statements, but what else can be expected? Their precious "progressive" movement is under assault and losing ground by the day. They really must be quite frustrated by the cracking of the ACORN nut: “CRUSHED NUTS: How ACORN Got Trampled by the ‘Racist’ Stampede” at http://firebreathingchristian.wordpress.com/2009/...
Now if they actually start covering stories such as these accurately from the get-go, we'll know that a true blue miracle has transpired.

THIS WAS A SMEAR! Those f'ing hate-filled elites–what a load of S-H-I-T.
Is it just me or does this "correction" sound like, "Well, he didn't say it but we know he is thinking it?"
Wonder what pressured them to make correction. HMMM Mr. AB???
Exactly.
Washington Post, Associated Press? Isn't it about time for CBS,NBC,ABC,CNN and MSNBC to check in?
…and November 2, 2010 quickly approaches…what a night that will be…
I expect ABC to be the first to cave.
echo…echo…echo
It's nice that they made a correction. Voting Americans are going to be making some corrections in 2010 and in 2012. The government has no sovereignty over my body.
" .. saying he targeted the organization for hidden-camera videos because its voter-registration drives bring minority voters to the polls"

uh.. the 'correction' is NOT correct either
Yeah…
"While Mr O'Keefe and Ms Giles didn't come right out and say it, their actions show them to be racist whiteys in a blatant attempt to keep the Black Man down."
Everybody knows only white people commit white collar crime. Fraud? Money-laundering? ACORN? C'mon……

Now see how it bites the Irrelevant Media in their tookus when they use “Democratic Talking Points” as their news sources. Funny but both the AP and WAPO both had the same incorrect paragraphs and both had to issue the same corrections. Next time IM, you might want to check your facts before swallowing the DTP’s hook, line, and sinker.
Spit!
The racist media strikes again!
