At PSC, we ask the non-politically correct question of the day...
How do you treat the "Panty" bomber from Al Queda, with red carpet treatment for attempting to blow up a plane over Detroit, but SLAM an American citizen, who exposed ACORN, for their complicity in transforming the U.S. into a socialist welfare state?
Smells of Progressive Brown-shirting!

Why did a NY Daily News article on O’Keefe
disappear and then reappear on its site?
And why has a second false article
not been corrected or retracted?
Many reporters and news outlets have been scrambling lately to avoid a lawsuit by activist-videographer James O’Keefe. They’re issuing corrections or retractions to their published false claims that he was charged by the FBI with “bugging” and/or “wiretapping” during his recent service call to Senator Mary Landrieu’s Louisiana office. But even as the press backtracks, the slanderous statements are being widely (and wildly) repeated.
Some sources are correcting themselves voluntarily, and some after on-air haranguing and corporate reprimands. These include The Washington Post, MSNBC’s David Shuster, Talking Points Memo, CBS News, and the Associated Press.
And some are doing it… well, not at all. The N.Y. Daily News, for instance.
James Gordon Meek, a serious-looking member of the Daily News’ Washington bureau, has filed two stories about the O’Keefe arrest. He has also chortled with his colleagues about the matter on Twitter.
One of his articles states that O’Keefe was “popped by the FBI Tuesday on charges of bugging”; and that “as the bogus hardhats tried to bug an office phone, O’Keefe held up a cell phone “…so as to record Flanagan and Basel,” the FBI said.” (Emphasis mine.)
