ACORN COVERAGE

Here's an idea: maybe the Tribune could cover more actual "news" than the shape of Michelle Obama's arms. Like the story which broke over the last few days about the ACORN office in Baltimore advising a pimp and hooker on how to evade taxes, buy a house illegally, and cover up the import of underaged girls to work as hookers. In case you haven't noticed, the same young undercover REPORTERS got the SAME advice from the Washington ACORN office TODAY. It's only mentioned on sites like HotAir and Michelle Malkin and a few others (and Glenn Beck's tv show), while the entire mainstream media avoids reporting on the obvious criminal enterprise taxpayers are funding. Maybe if the Tribune actually DID some reporting of value, the stock price would go up. People would begin to buy copies again. Just a thought.

Why do I have to go to FOX news to find out a story on ACORN and government corruption?

Where is the story.

Why is the Tribune ignoring the story of ACORN employees in 3 cities advising on a couple posing as a pimp and prostitute how to get a loan to buy a house for their "business?" As best as I can tell, Fox is the only media outlet covering the story. Why?

Ignoring News--Why?.

Can you please tell me where the reporting is on Acorn? What about the reporting on the Czars? Any wonder why your newspaper and others are failing? Could it be the media doesn't do their job? This paper and along with others has been in a love fest with this administration, and any tough questions needed to be asked, are not. You have failed the readers of this once great paper, so you deserve to fail.

When will the love fest with administration stop?.

All,

Why don't you carry the story on the ACORN videos? A guy and a girl pose as a prostitute and her pimp and go into 6 different ACORN offices and ask for help setting up and buying a house to run a whore house with underage illegal children. In 4 of the 6 ACORN offices the employees help them break the law. The ACORN offices in Baltimore, Washington DC NYC and California enable them on how to cheat on taxes and how to buy the house to set up a whore house. This is all on BigGovernment.com, uncut with transcripts. This is all over the web and foreign press why don't you carry it?

ACORN receives government funds and is a strong force in the Obama administration. If they are involved in illegal activities that is news, please report it at least look into it.

Newspapers across the country wonder why they are gradually going out of business. Perhaps it is because few believe them to be a trustworthy news source except for sports and the weather forecast. Chicago Tribune emabarressed themselves by campaigning hard for Obama last year. Now they barely cover huge stories like the Acorn scandal and the tea parites. I was once a loyal Tribune subscriber but have scaled back to Sundays only. Unless changes are made in reporting the news, the Trib will continue its decline of what once was a great newspaper.

Tribune Decline.

Although both the Senate and House have voted to some extent to de-fund ACORN, both Illinois senators (Durbin & Burris) and at least to Representatives from the Chicago area (Davis & Jackson) voted to CONTINUE FUNDING FOR ACORN. Think you could find a story in that??????????????

Illinois Reps vote to fund ACORN.

The Acorn story broke a week ago on Fox news. This is a huge story and you along with The New York Times, Washington Post, LA Times, Chicago Sun Times, ABC, CBS, and NBC to name a few were silent on this. Why? Is this further proof that you're left wing and bias? Maybe this is the reason I don't subscribe to you anymore

Tribune bias, perhaps?.

Today's newsbusting headline? "New Book Details Obama Marriage"

WTH? Where's the Acorn coverage?! Why did my senators vote to continue funding? There should be something up there on the home page EVERY DAY FOR A MONTH AT A MINIMUM! Find SOMETHING, for heaven's sake.

When I go to the link provided by Trib employee Danielle Gordon, I get a lot of tepid, indirect coverage. What a crock.

Acorn coverage is the same place all the other news about any Obama backed organizations are covered up by MSM.. do what I do read Kass and all other news on line where the real facts are.. Tribune is just as bad as the the other newspapers for the dog to go on..

I guess this is where the declining subscription rates come from - unsatisfied readers. The Tribune has no idea how much it has alienated its readership by showing favoritism to the Obama White House and the many issues surrounding it. While this is a Chicago market, people still want to know the truth. When you fail to report the facts, that is the same thing as dishonesty!

This Acorn group should be shut down completely and
they should paid back all of the millions of they stole to
the goverment. This group is the scum of this earth ! !
Obama/Acorn one in the same.

Mr Axelrod ( Chief Whitehouse Correspondent )

I would like to bring to your attention the distrust that the American citizens of this great country have for Obama and his administration.
This man is a flat out liar and a threat to the very fabric of this nation.
He has aligned himself with Left Wing Socialist Liberals during his
campaign and continues to do the same.
Individuals such as Bill Ayers,Pastor Wright and the Acorn group are
the scum of this earth.This empty suit in the Whitehouse is bankrupting
American with his out of control spending and failed bills such as his Stimulus Plan,Cap and Trade and certainly this disgraceful Healthcare reform plan. I personally feel along with many of my friends and aquaintances,plus millions of Americans that this Barack Hussein Obama will never see the end of his term.

To whom it may concern:

I feel that this uneducated,
big mouth, " Nappy Haired
Hoe " al sharpton best
focus on the violent crimes
his black low life brothers
are committing on the
streets of are cities and towns across this country.
Rather than worrying about
Don Imus or Rush Limbaugh.I personally fell along with millions of white
Americans that this phony black racist scumbag will end up the same way as that other black phony martin luther king !!

Why do I have to watch FOX News to learn what is going on in the country that we all live in? While I do not agree entirely with their point of view on some subjects, they at least present a "fair and balanced" report. Or better put they report and you decide. What has happened to the Chicago Tribune? Your current style of reporting is more comparable to that of a tabloid.

Acorn is a non story, of course. What is a story is the vast amount of money thrown to Halliburton, and all the other defense contractors who simply ran away with our treasury. Some of the previous administration became very wealthy from this greed. And deficit that resulted. Now that's a story.
