The scandal surrounding ACORN has been spreading around the country as videos have been released on Andrew Breitbart’s Big Government website (based here in California) showing ACORN employees saying all kinds of outrageous thinks to a pair of actors coming into their offices posing as a pimp and a prostitute. The videos are amazing to see, and are definitely newsworthy.
As these videos have been released and the ACORN scandal has unfolded, I have kept an eye (as many California politicos do) on the various main stream media blogs here in the Golden State. While I didn’t see any coverage of the ACORN scandal at the beginning, I figured once the scandal hit California (recent videos expose workers in ACORN offices in San Bernardino and San Diego Counties) that they would write on it for sure, and link the videos (most of these blogs routinely embed videos — especially when they are easy to grab — Breitbart has these on Youtube). Nope. Nada.
In fact, we really didn’t see any California MSM political blog coverage at all until Governor Schwarzenegger yesterday afternoon called on the Attorney General to investigate the matter. Then some of them covered the Governor’s action (SacBee, SF Chron, FresnoBee, LATimes OCReg) which meant they had to mention the ACORN scandal videos. But how many of them put a link to the videos, or to Breitbart’s site? ZERO. How many of the MSM blogs embedded the video so people could see the outrageous behavior of the ACORN employees? ZERO.
