Gross Failure of the Media

[Commentary] A new poll by Public Policy Polling shows that 52% of Republicans believe that Obama did not really win the 2008 election. You think that's absurd, get a load of why -- ACORN stole it for him. Yes, a majority of Republicans in the country believe ACORN flat out stole the election for Obama. Only 27% of Republicans believe Obama won the election legitimately. 27%. Those are stunning numbers. There is not one shred of evidence that ACORN "stole" one vote for Obama in the 2008 election. Do you know how many it would have needed to "steal" to swing the election from Obama to McCain? 9.5 million. But it's not just Republicans. 26% of Americans believe that ACORN stole the 2008 election. Only 62% of the country believes Obama was legitimately elected. How can over a quarter of the country believe something so patently untrue and utterly ridiculous? It's because conservative media puts these messages out there non-stop without any effective challenge. They poison the conversation with absolute falsehoods and no one fights back. Who's fighting for ACORN now? Who is telling people that ACORN did not steal any votes in 2008? There is a continual battering ram of lies from one side and no response from the other.
