Sure some mainstream news organizations have reported the allegations of ACORN's practices. I give credit to the right wing sound machine for raising enough stink to merit coverage. But its mostly Bill O'Reilly on FOX news, Lou Dobss on CNN and right wing bloggers.
And the result is still the same...after six plus years of investigations (initiated at the urging of Karl Rove as a political strategy) ACORN has still never been found guilty of any criminal activity with either their advocacy/voter registration work or their community development work and IMO, the impact in the minority community that have had first hand experience with ACORN's work, will continue to not only support the organization but will also reinforce the notion in those communities that the Republican party does not represent their interests.
