The first two paragraphs of Public Editor Clark Hoyt's 'correction' serves to REINFORCE EVERY allegation & innuendo that the Times and Republican critics of Acorn managed to pound into the public consciousness about Acorn over the preceding years. As Mr. Hoyt notes, ACORN is now IN BANKRUPTCY, in no small part to the Times MURDEROUSLY EFFECTIVE SMEAR CAMPAIGN.
JUST AS the NAZIS sought to DISENFRANCHISE and STEAL from Jews and other victims of the Nazi party rise to power in post-Depression Germany, SO TOO does Mr. Sulzberger and his cabal of JEWISH LIARS seek to DISENFRANCHISE American minority voters, and to STEAL from American taxpayers, with BILLIONS (upon TRILLIONS) of "BAILOUTS" dollars EXTORTED from American taxpayers by the corrupt Pelosi/Boehner Congress, and HANDED OVER to failed, fraudulent, bankrupt, and corrupt NEW YORK BANKS.
ACORN goes BANKRUPT from the NEW YORK TIMES JIHAD of LIES... while Mr. Sulzberger's FRIENDS and CRONIES at GODDAMN-SACHS, JP Morgan, Citi, BoA, NY Bank Mellon, Wachovia, Wells Fargo, and other (mostly New York based) banks collect TRILLIONS of taxpayer extorted BAILOUTS dollars.
ARTHUR SULZBERGER and his lying editors at the Times: TRYING THEIR DAMNDEST to MAKE AN HONEST MAN of Adolf Hitler's "They own the media; they are warmongers, they are financial swindlers, and they DON'T CARE IF YOUR CHILDREN DIE" (from lack of health care or any other causes) racist stereotypes.

THE Times reported Saturday that Acorn, once considered the nation’s largest community organizing group for the poor and powerless, is on the verge of filing for bankruptcy. [= MISSION ACCOMPLISHED for the foul Mr. Hoyt and his LYING smear-mongering bosses at the Times] It has already ceased operating in many states, including Maryland, where two conservative activists pretending to be a pimp and a prostitute [THIS IS A LYING STATEMENT] used a hidden camera and recorded Acorn employees advising them on how to conceal the source of illegal income and manage 14-year-old Salvadoran prostitutes in the country illegally: “Train them to keep their mouth shut.”
The Times was slow last fall to cover that sting in Baltimore, similar ones at Acorn offices in Brooklyn, Washington and other cities, and the resulting uproar, including criminal investigations and votes in Congress to cut off funds for the group.
But the paper finally described how a succession of Acorn employees had advised the pair on obviously improper activities and how, as a result, many of the group’s allies had deserted it.
Now Acorn and its supporters say The Times got the story wrong and, by failing to correct it, has played into the hands of a campaign that has pushed the group near extinction... (continued)

NYTimes _Owes Us_ an ACORN Smear _RETRACTION_There you have it: the New York Times is a MURDEROUSLY EFFECTIVE PROPAGANDA outlet, whose OVERRIDING GOAL is to STEAL from American workers, consumers, taxpayers, and even investors, with the sole purpose of CONCENTRATING - HOARDING - wealth among those who DESPISE ordinary Americans, as much as the Nazis despised the Jews, and as much as Netanyahu's Jewish "settlers" DESPISE Palestinians.

A month ago, while covering the arrest of James O'Keefe after his attempt to tamper with the phones at Senator Mary Landrieu's office, the New York Times repeated conservative misinformation that smeared ACORN, and is now refusing to retract their "reporting."
James O'Keefe previously had released videos that purported to show ACORN employees supposedly advising a "pimp" on how to evade the law. These videos were widely publicized in conservative outlets as part of a larger conservative campaign to destroy ACORN, because the organization registers poor people to vote. Usually-careful [NOT!] major media outlets like the New York Times then picked up the "story" from these conservative outlets and repeated the false accusations against ACORN.
An an example of how the Times has repeated the misinformation, this Times story, High Jinks to Handcuffs for Landrieu Provocateur, contained the following:
Mr. O'Keefe made his biggest national splash last year when he dressed up as a pimp and trained his secret camera on counselors with the liberal community group Acorn -- eliciting advice on financing a brothel on videos that would threaten to become Acorn's undoing.In fact, O'Keefe was NOT "dressed as a pimp." He represented himself as a candidate for Congress who was trying to help women who were being exploited. He then doctored the resulting videotapes to make it appear that ACORN acted improperly. He only dressed as a "pimp" when publicizing his videos, using the racist stereotype to amplify his false claims. This preposterous 1970's blaxploitation-movie costume seemed to resonate with media outlets like the [NY] Times. (The woman who played the "prostitute" in the videos has herself been videotaped verifying that O'Keefe DID NOT wear a "pimp" costume.)... (continued)
