MM to NYT: Welcome to the jungle.

    The New York Times, on its corrected coverage of the ongoing fall of ACORN: ON Sept. 12, an Associated Press article inside The Times reported that the Census Bureau had severed its ties to Acorn, the community organizing group. Robert Groves, the census director, was quoted as saying that Acorn, one of thousands of unpaid organizations promoting the 2010 census, had become “a distraction.” What | Read More »

    So, is it the *Good* Parts of ACORN that you want to help you shape the agenda, Senator?

    Because it’s getting harder and harder to keep track of who’s doing what, and to whom. Via Ace of Spades Moe Lane PS: Just to reassure Allahpundit: here’s a link to the connections that the CCC has with all of its community organization friends, not to mention Leftist, Marxist, and generally radical activist groups.

    Patterico caught the LA Times lying about McCain’s economic policy.

He needed a screenshot because the LA Times revised the original bad article into an equally-bad article, which is generally unsurprising to anybody who blogs for any length of time.

So what they’re going to try to do is make you | Read More »

    I wonder whether ABC News will be getting a seat on the flight *back*, now.

Via Power Line (whose title I almost stole): {Youtube link, for those having problems with it.} Well, I guess that now we know why he won’t debate Senator McCain. Moe Lane

    Viciously attacking Obama by quoting him accurately, 07/16/2008 edition.

    Today’s edition comes from the LA Times’ blog Top of the Ticket, via Wake Up America (H/T: Instapundit) It’s all tied up with Obama’s recent decision to memory hole his opposition to the surge, once it turned out to have actually worked. Alas for the junior Senator from Illinois, we live in The Age of Scrutiny, and nothing ever goes away. How ironic that it’s | Read More »
