" Officials with the revamped ACORN office in New York -- operating as New York Communities for Change -- have fired staff, shredded reams of documents and told workers to blame disgruntled ex-employees for leaking information in an effort to explain away a FoxNews.com report last week on the group’s involvement in Occupy Wall Street protests, according to sources. "
Your first mistake is believing FOX News. They are known liars and will do anything they can to support their lying masters.
ACORN, MoveOn, ObombA 2012 election campaign, SEIU, Communist Workers Party etc.... the Fifth Column Network using the Occupy Movement for the 2012 Campaign and the socialist agenda. If the movement act responsibly it will stay apart from the co-opting, but as with anything money talks.
I have no problem with any of those institutions. They are just late to the game that is the American way to fame.
So!!!
it's all about point the finger away from the president . lets blame umnnn, salt. yes it's salts fault. the old "bushes fault" is worn out.
get you conspiracy theory crap out of here we all know it was adbusters and other groups that decided to occupy wall street and it caught on like wildfire! So go sleep in your house while we sleep in our tents for change!!!
Yea – I know, Fox News. The PAID people are counting on your knee-jerk reaction to Fox to keep you stupid.
Your Choice.
What conspiracy was that? That ACORN, rebranded because of fraudulent activities, is once again operating in a fraudulent manner.
Says alot about how popular the movement really might be, if they are having to pay people to attend and use fraud to collect money to support it.
From the article last week. FYI i don't ever watch Fox news or go to their site but you can't make this stuff up.
Sources said NYCC has hired about 100 former ACORN-affiliated staff members from other cities – paying some of them $100 a day - to attend and support Occupy Wall Street. Dozens of New York homeless people recruited from shelters are also being paid to support the protests, at the rate of $10 an hour, the sources said.
Sources said cash donations collected by NYCC on behalf of some unions and various causes are being pooled and spent on Occupy Wall Street. The money is used to buy supplies, pay staff and cover travel expenses for the ex-ACORN members brought to New York for the protests.
In one such case, sources said, NYCC staff members collected cash donations for what they were told was a United Federation of Teachers fundraising drive, but the money was diverted to the protests.
Sources who participated in the teachers union campaign said NYCC supervisors gave them the addresses of union members and told them to go knock on their doors and ask for contributions—and did not mention that the money would go toward Occupy Wall Street expenses.
ACORN no longer exists idiot, get it out of your thick head! There is no backroom full of people running OWS! It is nothing but lies from morons like you! Get a Life!!!

The most likely explanation is that ACORN (now NYCC) is looking for a vehicle to spew their lies and propaganda. OWC is willing to accept anyone into their movement who wants to raise hell, including these brownshirts for the union.
fox news will use disinformation to discredit anyone who doesn't think like rupert murdock. they have very low journalistic standards. just look at the scandal with the hacked text messages. get real!

Works both ways.
very creative answer, wish i thought of it first :(
very creative response, wish i thought of it first :(
you know, its really amazing how people will support a system, politicians and corporations that really don't care about them at all. i just can't understand this. sure, you're taught to believe in the system but the actions of these groups speak louder than their words.
131shop, why are you supporting the system?
Because it worked for me. Why are you against it?
because our country is in bad shape due to the greed of the government and big money.
do you think america is doing alright at the moment with the bad economy, two unwinnable wars and record numbers of homeless people
You're protesting in the wrong location. #OccupyVotersBooth
do you actually believe that the dems or the reps are not on the take?
Don't you elect dems and reps through voting booths? Don't be mad at the money, be mad at the people who were bribed by it.
both parties and their paymasters are the problem.
buying elections is not how our system is supposed to work.
this situation is corrupt and needs to be corrected.
I don't understand the hate towards FOX? Study-after-study has shown that in 2008, 09, and 10 the networks ABC, CBS, NBC, and PBS had 70% favorable stories towards Obama/democrats and only 40% favorable towards McCain/ republicans.
The real bias lies with those channels, not Fox (whose 6 and 7 o'clock news was 38% favorable to both sides).
Even if you hate FOX, that's cool, but you should be hating the Other biased channels too.
imho
Yeah, but i don't enjoy listening to visceral and vengeance as i wait to hear real news. Also, not everyone knows that most of FOX news is Hyperbole.
"ABC, CBS, NBC, and PBS had 70% favorable stories towards Obama/democrats and only 40% towards McCain/ republicans."
Doesn't that sound biased to you?
(Or "hyperbole" to use your word)
Why do you put quotes around hyperbole like it's a made up word? Do you even know what it means? Because you use it in context of a sentence like you think it's synonymous with "bias" The definition of hyperbole is "obvious and intentional exaggeration. 2. an extravagant statement or figure of speech not intended to be taken literally" In this context it is referring to Fox News' tendency to report hyperbole or irrational emotional responses as fact, in other words known as "not journalism"
[Removed]
My decisions are base on the aggregate. Those institutions are all self interested so a bias is found in all of them.
it depends on what side of the fence you are standing on. If you watch MSNBC/FOX and agree with what they are saying, then it is not bias. If you disagree with what they are saying, it is bias. So the liberals on these forums do not see MSNBC as bias because they agree with it, yet as you can see, they feel FOX is bias.
In reality, both FOX and MSNBC are bias. One to the right one to the left.
"NBC had 70% favorable stories towards Obama/democrats and only 40% towards McCain/ republicans." "Fox... was 38% favorable to both sides"
It doesn't sound like Fox is biased to me? Although NBC certainly is. A true right-biased show (as example) would be Pat Robertson's TBN News... very pro-republican.
