FOX News Complicit In Fraud against ACORN / Palin Speaking Fee under Investigation

California Attorney General Jerry Brown has concluded the investigation into ACORN. Attorney General Brown’s investigation came to the same conclusion as the report issued by former Maryland AG Scott Harshbarger, that ACORN employees acted unprofessionally, lacked leadership training but not do anything illegal.

Political correspondent Devin Barber writes on Gather.com:

“FOX News is guilty of airing a major story without checking the authenticity of that story. And what was FOX’s response to this revelation? (Insert crickets chirping sound effect.) That’s right… nothing. No producers fired, no resignations, and no anchors being handed their hat. The reason is because FOX is NOT a legitimate news agency. What it is, is a sleazy tabloid entity that exploit’s the easily inflamed fringe of the Republican Party. And they could care less about things like ethics and honor.” Read More

Barber has also reports that FOX News Corps owner, Australian national Rupert Murdoch, said that “Fox News Should Not Be Supporting the Tea Parties”.

“During an interview with Marvin Kalb at the National Press Club, the founder and CEO of FOX News, Rupert Murdoch, answering a question from a member of the audience, said that FOX News should not be supporting the TEA Party or any other Party. The unidentified audience member had cited the blatant and overt promotion of the TEA Party taking place on his news network and asked if a news agency should be so political.”

Californiawatch.org is reporting that Brown is investigating the terms of a speaking fee arrangement between Sarah Palin and an education foundation.
