Re: 'Barack Obama, ACORN, and 'community organizing"''

Where Stanley Kurtz left off yesterday in his "O''S Dangerous Pals -
Barack's 'Organizer' Buds Pushed For Bad Mortgages," Mona Charen picks up and runs with today, pointing out the fact that If Obama wins, it means we've essentially hired an arsonist to fight a fire: ACORN, Obama, and the Mortgage Mess.

And as Sister Toldjah notes today, the media continues to completely ignore one of the most important stories in this political campaign because they are completely in the tank for Obama:

It's amazing, isn't it? We're a month away from the election, and the most in-depth reporting on Barack Obama's questionable ties has been not from the mainstream mediots but instead conservative journalists. Barack Obama's ties to the economic crisis we find ourselves in today are extensive. His relationship with former Fannie Mae bigwigs Jim Johnson and Franklin Raines would be the subject of a massive media investigation ... if instead it was John McCain with those ties and not The Chosen One. Remember the endless wave of articles we read over the course of several years about Bush/Cheney's ties to Ken Lay and Enron? Not happening this year, because the guy who should be on the hot seat right now is the guy that the pressies want to see win.

So, pray tell, can anyone explain to me whatever happened to the idea of honest reporting? Did it ever exist in the first place? And aren't voters just as guilty as the dishonest media in looking the other way and thinking emotionally instead of with their brains? Are voters unable or just unwilling to separate fact from fiction, empty rhetoric and lies from the truth, and stagecraft from reality?
