In their undercover videos (here and here, among others), James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles have set off an avalanche of criticism against the liberal nonprofit ACORN, which has long been accused by conservatives of misusing federal funds and falsifying voter registration forms.
Jon Stewart (skip to 05:00) wondered where the media was; and (finally) a major newspaper has taken a (squishy) stand, rebuking ACORN while decrying O’Keefe’s and Giles’ method as “distasteful.”
Commenter The Grey Man gets the last word: “Why are these methods “distasteful”? And why is ... [the MSM] ... being so elitist? O’Keefe and [his] partner are merely poor, undocumented journalists doing the work that regular American journalists do not want to do. I think Congress should enact legislation to give ... undocumented [journalists] amnesty, or at least a pathway to full journalism.”
