This goes 3 paragraphs before introducing evidence. After that rough start it makes up for lost time, but it really needs to name more people. It bundles the Wall Street Opinion Journal and Fox News in with the GOP, not completely unfairly. There is a lot of good information in defense of ACORN. But without reasonable representation of the GOP viewpoint, credibility suffers.

It is timely, or just in time. This is a Davidian attempt to counter the Goliathan media spin and perpetuation of an amusing and clever lie told by the Republican right against an old enemy: minority rights and government assisted opportunity for the disavantaged. It is quality journalism by virtue of the truth which has never been contested by the McCain campaign. Their story about ACORN is false in every respect, and they know it is. I hesitate to rate any story as perfect, but I know that many readers on the other side are perfectly willing to rate it as zero, simply because they don't want to know the truth. I honestly can't find any fault with this article except that it might have been more thoroughly footnoted and linked.
