In response to the Columbia Journalism Review’s accusing me of “blackmailing” the Attorney General of the United States, I must take notice that the mainstream media as a journalistic establishment IS paying attention to the ongoing ACORN scandal. Good. I

The “Pimp and Pro” ACORN story hit America hard a few weeks ago. It is a ripe story with endless angles to report on, and yet the Mainstream Media’s favorite approach seems to be the method in which James and
Washington has long been a place where ethics are flexible. If mainstream media outlets are snoozing, it’s easy to get away with a lot. The mainstream media has paid very little attention to the ties between Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.),
The public option has been a political football since early summer. The President has said more than once that he prefers it but will not demand it. This was considered capitulation by many on the left who see the public
