I have only seen bits and pieces of the 6+ hour health care summit, so I can't form a full picture of how valuable it was. However this moment alone makes me happy it happened (would rather have not linked to the Daily Show as the source, but I can't find the video anywhere else)

Legitimate point

Interesting. It's been ruled that the secretly recorded ACORN tapes, supposedly proving they gave illegal advice to fake prostitutes, were actually edited to fit the story and that the unedited tapes don't show any illegal activity. The DA has closed the investigation with no criminal charges.

I bet you won't see that little detail on Fox News.

It's on their website.

Wow- the sad thing is ACORN has been tainted anyway. They ought to sue the shyt out of those so-called news organizations.

Yep. Another win for the Big Lie. Another loss for the common people.

Nowhere in that article does it report that the footage was edited to make it falsely appear that the ACORN staff was doing something illegal. My point still stands.

I'll be waiting for Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck, et al to apologize on camera to ACORN for demonizing them over of the lies perpetrated by these filmmakers. But I won't be holding my breath.

The Fox News article has been conveniently edited to exclude mention of convenient editing.
