To the NYT it’s news that ain’t “fit to print” if it involves Obama’s criminal pals.
According to election fraud lawyer Heather Heidelbaugh, The New York Times decided suddenly to drop all efforts last October to publish stories about the Association for Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) because it came to light that ACORN was a big donor to then presidential candidate Barack Obama’s campaign. The Times is said to have told ACORN insider Anita Moncrief that they were dropping the story because it was a “game changer” for the election and might hurt Obama’s campaign.
Heidelbaugh, who worked for the Penn. Republican State Committee in a vote fraud lawsuit against ACORN, told a House Judiciary subcommittee on March 19 that she had found a close link between ACORN, Project Vote and the Obama campaign through the inside information from former ACORN worker Anita Moncrief.
Moncrief told Heidelbaugh that she had been involved as an insider informant to The New York Times for several months until she informed Times reporter Stephanie Strom that the Obama campaign was closely linked to ACORN. Once that connection was made, Strom told Moncrief that no more stories would be done by the NYT about ACORN.
“Upon learning this information and receiving the list of donors from the Obama campaign, Ms. Strom reported to Ms. Moncrief that her editors at The New York Times wanted her to kill the story because, and I quote, ‘it was a game changer.'”
During the hearing Representative James Sensenbrenner (R, Wis.) scolded the Times for its partisan bias in the news.
“If true, The New York Times is showing once again that it is a not an impartial observer of the political scene,” he said. “If they want to be a mouthpiece for the Democratic Party, they should put Barack Obama approves of this in their newspaper.”
Once again we see that The New York Times is far less “the paper of record” than the paper of a broken record… the Democratic Party’s broken record. Anything that doesn’t “fit” the Democratic Party agenda isn’t “fit to print.”
Moncrief also has an interesting and deeply detailed website where she discusses her experiences at ACORN and all the criminal activity there. In January, Moncrief also wrote a piece detailing the links.
The Wall Street Journal’s John Fund had an excellent article last October detailing the connections between Operation Vote and the Obama campaign.
The Obama campaign denies it “has any ties” to Acorn, but Mr. Obama’s ties are extensive. In 1992 he headed a registration effort for Project Vote, an Acorn partner at the time. He did so well that he was made a top trainer for Acorn’s Chicago conferences. In 1995, he represented Acorn in a key case upholding the constitutionality of the new Motor Voter Act — the first law passed by the Clinton administration — which created the mandated, nationwide postcard voter registration system that Acorn workers are using to flood election offices with bogus registrations.
Another great posting on this subject can be seen at Flopping Aces.
Yet, all this in depth and incriminating evidence and reporting has not graced the pages of The New York Times. Imagine that!
