As soon as James O’Keefe’s explosive video footage was unveiled two weeks ago — shaking ACORN to its core — various leftists and their allies in the mainstream media have fixated on a singular mission: smearing the messenger.

O’Keefe was not just targeted by MSM backbenchers, but the Big Three: New York Times, Washington Post, and the Associated Press.

The results weren’t even close.  It was a lopsided victory for O’Keefe, as all three titans of media issued corrections on damning allegations.

According to the Big Three, O’Keefe was a racist who targeted ACORN because they register minorities to vote, and he’s already been proven to use editing tricks to deceive in his attacks on Planned Parenthood.

Oops.

An article on Saturday about James E. O’Keefe III, the conservative activist who caught on videotape compromising statements by workers at the community organizing group Acorn, included incorrect information from Liz Farkas, an acquaintance of Mr. O’Keefe’s, who spoke in an interview about having read a transcript of one of his earlier projects. The transcript was of an encounter with a nurse at the University of California at Los Angeles; it was not of a nurse at Planned Parenthood. (Go to Article)
