I have never heard of this publication and when I went to the About Us page none of those listed are journalist and nothing about improving news is stated. My first thought is this is alternative news Fox News.

The story is a biased hit piece. First, a few ACORN supporters are demonized as lefties who dared protest in their youth.

(In other words, just because someone registers 72 times - which may increase pay for ACORN workers compensated per registrant - it in no way makes it possible for that person to vote 72 ... More »

This news analysis has considerable journalistic merit. It provides details of the situations in 12 states. Links are provided to articles with full information on each state.

This piece is strongly biased reporting. While purporting to be about ACORN, it contains various unfair peripheral references to Barak Obama and it fails to fully disclose the practices of ACORN in its attempts to comply with registration laws.
