When some folks went on a mission to expose ACORN (Barack Obama’s former employer and legal client) for the fraudulent and corrupt organization they are, ACORN fought back… often using allies in the mainstream media to carry its water.

In addition to the networks, other liberal organizations came to ACORN’s defense, relying solely on what ACORN told them…

In recent days, Hannah Giles and James O’Keefe, the conservative filmmakers who made the widely circulated ACORN videos, as well as Andrew Breitbart and Mike Flynn, who have been promoting the videos for BigGovernment.com, have claimed that the filmmakers were never rebuffed by any of the ACORN offices they visited in their attempts to get ACORN to assist them in improper activities. However, in a newly released video, ACORN Housing Corp.’s Katherine Conway Russell directly rebuts those claims, citing a police report ACORN filed as evidence that she asked the filmmakers to leave the ACORN office in Philadelphia and called the police after the filmmakers asked suspicious questions.

Oops.

According to MediaMatters’ website:

Using the website mediamatters.org as the principal vehicle for disseminating research and information, Media Matters posts rapid-response items as well as longer research and analytic reports documenting conservative misinformation throughout the media. Additionally, Media Matters works daily to notify activists, journalists, pundits, and the general public about instances of misinformation, providing them with the resources to rebut false claims and to take direct action against offending media institutions.

So now the real question is, will MediaMatters respond to their own dissemination of misinformation? I’m not holding my breath.
