NYT Misleads in Editorial on Census and ACORN

The New York Times was less than truthful in an editorial yesterday on ACORN's involvement in the 2010 census and implied that Republicans and Obama administration critics were paranoid.

After pontificating that Republicans' fears were overblown about Robert M. Groves, the statistical voodoo practitioner who was recently confirmed by the U.S. Senate as census director.

An entirely justified concern that some Americans have is that ACORN is actively involved in the 2010 census planning process (including hiring decisions) and that the Obama administration lied about it. This was proven in the document dump ably engineered by Tegan Millspaw of Judicial Watch.

Of course the NYT ignores this issue altogether.

The Times hasn't even bothered to report on the fact that authorities in Ohio, are investigating ACORN --the organization itself-- in connection with actual voter fraud (as opposed to voter registration fraud) after a man named Darnell Nash who was registered to vote multiple times by ACORN was indicted by a grand jury for casting a fraudulent vote in an election.

It's common sense that ACORN shouldn't be anywhere near the census - assuming the onus for such prudence lies with protecting the integrity of our democratic institutions and not with the interests of large party contributors...

[Wrong assumption.]
