Senate votes overwhelmingly to cut off Haliburton funding


Ooops, wait. Not Haliburton, I meant ACORN. It's arguably the biggest story of the day, yet here are the stories the mainstream media are leading with:

The death of Patrick Swayze

The death of Annie Le

Wringing the last bit of sensationalism out of Kanye West story(somehow the President of the United States found the time in his busy schedule to comment on this story, calling West a "Jackass"--but this part of the story is only being reported on Politico)

The release of the new Dan Brown novel (Anti Catholic author)

Shoe throwing Iraqi journalist freed ("A hero in Iraq")

All news stories, to be sure, but certainly nothing approaching the level of the Democratic super majority of the Senate voting last night to cut off federal funding to Obama pet organization ACORN. The only "mainstream" outlets covering this story are Fox and Drudge, of course.

Check out the non-story at NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, NYTimes, WaPo.

American Journalism, rest in peace.
