An Oct. 30 WorldNetDaily article by Bob Unruh uncritically repeats attacks on ACORN made by the conservative Capital Research Center’s Matthew Vadum — right down Vadum’s headline smear “ACORN: Who Funds the Weather Underground’s Little Brother?” As we detailed, Vadum’s attempt to link ACORN to the Weather Underground is a lie because ACORN is not a terrorist group, and Vadum also makes several false and misleading claims about ACORN.
It’s typical lazy Unruh reporting, based only on Vadum’s CRC report, with only a token phone call to ACORN headquarters to create the illusion that he was interested in telling both sides of the story (apparently oblivious to the fact that there are numerous other places he could obtain that information).
