The NY Times Gets Caught: Once Highly-Esteemed Newspaper Spiked ACORN Story That Would Have Hurt Obama's Election Hopes

The New York Times confirmed yesterday that it killed a story in October that would have shown a close link between ACORN, Project Vote and the Obama campaign. The NY Times killed the investigation before the election that would have shown that Barack Obama’s campaign and the Far Left ACORN Organization were guilty of technical violations of campaign finance law.

New York Times Public Editor Clark Hoyt said this about the report and investigation: "The charge, amplified by Bill O’Reilly on Fox News in April and reverberating around the conservative blogosphere, is about the most damning allegation that can be made against a news organization. If true, it would mean that Times editors, whose job is to report the facts without fear or favor, were so lacking in integrity that they withheld an important story in order to influence the election."


True. "It would show a serious lack of integrity by the news organization if they were to withhold information from the public before the election."


And, it looks like that is exactly what they did.
