			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>From Fox News&#8217; <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/slideshow/politics/2009/12/31/big-stories-mainstream-media-missed">Nine Big Stories the Mainstream Media Missed in 2009</a>:</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.foxnews.com/static/managed/img/Politics/122809_acorn_slideshow_604x500.JPG" alt="ACORN Tapes" width="407" height="236" /></strong>ACORN Tapes</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Filmmakers James O&#8217;Keefe and Hannah Giles, posing as a pimp and a prostitute, went undercover to the offices of the community organizing group ACORN in the summer. They secretly videotaped employees instructing them in how to falsify tax forms and seek illegal benefits for 13 &#8220;very young&#8221; girls from El Salvador whom the pair said they wanted to import to work as child prostitutes. New videos emerged daily, but the mainstream media ignored the growing scandal for days, even as federal agencies began severing their ties with the group and members of Congress cried for an investigation.<span id="more-54294"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.foxnews.com/static/managed/img/Politics/122909_jennings_slideshow_604x500.jpg" alt="Kevin Jennings, Safe Schools Czar" width="405" height="281" /><em>Kevin Jennings, Safe Schools Czar</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">President Obama&#8217;s &#8220;safe schools czar,&#8221; Kevin Jennings, is a former schoolteacher who advocated promoting homosexuality in schools and was forced to admit he had poorly handled an incident in which a student told him he was having sex with older men. Jennings has since been tied to a pornographic suggested reading list for 7th graders that was designed by the organization he founded and directed for over a decade, and dozens of members of Congress have called for his ouster.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.foxnews.com/static/managed/img/Politics/122809_vanjones2.jpg" alt="122809_vanjones2.jpg" width="406" height="229" /><em>Van Jones</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">White House Green Jobs adviser Van Jones resigned from his post in September after weeks of pressure over his radical past. A former self-avowed Marxist and anarchist, Jones signed a 2004 petition that suggested the U.S. government was involved in the Sept 11. terrorist attacks. The New York Times and Washington Post ignored the story until Jones&#8217; resignation, which occurred in the middle of the Labor Day weekend.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Earlier tonight Andrew Breitbart, James O&#8217;Keefe and Hannah Giles discussed the final chapter of the <a href="http://biggovernment.com/2009/11/19/the-la-story-part-iv-program-for-torture-victims/">ACORN L.A. saga</a> on &#8220;Hannity,&#8221; but more interestingly, Breitbart disclosed where the story goes from here.  Transcript (below) starts from 3:50 into the clip:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><script src="http://video.foxnews.com/embed.js?id=11754444&amp;w=400&amp;h=249" type="text/javascript"></script><noscript>Watch the latest business video at &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;a href=&#8221;http://video.foxbusiness.com/&#8221; mce_href=&#8221;http://video.foxbusiness.com/&#8221;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;FOXBusiness.com&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/a&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;</noscript></p>
<p><strong>Breitbart: </strong>There’s a lot of hypocrisy and the dust has settled for ACORN and at the end of the day they’ve recognized that Eric Holder, the Attorney General, has not initiated an investigation into ACORN after we now have seven tapes.  There were five initially that came out, ACORN was defunded by the Senate, was defunded by the House, lost it’s link to the Census; while all that damage occurred, Congress didn’t come in to investigate them, obviously not the Attorney General’s office, and they’ve now realized let’s get back into business because they realized that the dust settled and they were not being investigated, it was Hannah, James, and me who were being investigated, that’s why we’ve been forced to offer this latest tape.</p>
<p><strong>Hannity: </strong>Are you saying, Andrew, that there are more tapes?<span id="more-34218"></span></p>
<p><strong>Breitbart:</strong> Oh my goodness there are!  Not only are there more tapes, it’s not just ACORN.  <em>And this message is to Attorney General Holder: I want you to know that we have more tapes, it’s not just ACORN, and we’re going to hold out until the next election cycle, or else if you want to do a clean investigation</em>, we will give you the rest of what we have, we will comply with you, we will give you the documentation we have from countless ACORN whistleblowers who want to come forward but are fearful of this organization and the retribution that they fear that this is a dangerous organization.  So if you get into an investigation, we will give you the tapes; if you don’t give us the tapes, we will revisit these tapes come election time.</p>
<p><strong>Hannity: </strong>This is a blockbuster, what you’re saying here.  You guys have more tapes, you’ll release them before the election, that could have a big impact on the election, obviously…</p>
