ACORN cleared
Does everyone remember all the conservative caterwauling over those ridiculous ACORN sting videos?
Do you think that, in the interest of accuracy, all those GOP-friendly media outlets will be falling all over themselves to report the news that the illegally-videotaped ACORN workers broke no laws? As noted at The Hill (h/t: Ron Chusid at Liberal Values), "the report, prepared by former Massachusetts Attorney General Scott Harshbarger, cited ACORN employees for poor judgment, it ultimately found they did not violate any federal laws:"
"While some of the advice and counsel given by ACORN employees and volunteers was clearly inappropriate and unprofessional, we did not find a pattern of intentional, illegal conduct by ACORN staff; in fact, there is no evidence that action, illegal or otherwise, was taken by any ACORN employee on behalf of the videographer," Harshbarger wrote in the report.
Yeah, I didn't think that our "liberal" media outlets would trumpet that news...
