Chris Hayes lies on the 01-28-10 Countdown when he claimed that James O'Keefe did not release a video from the Philadelphia ACORN Office.

HAYES: Oh, that‘s absolutely right. And that‘s actually what‘s so frustrating. It‘s what‘s so frustrating about that first round with ACORN. You know, there were tapes that were made in the first round when they were going to those ACORN offices, including one in Philadelphia in which the ACORN office called the police and said, “We want to get rid of these people,” and, of course, those tapes were never released.

And to me, that shows that what they‘re doing is not journalism, because you have—if there‘s any baseline sense of integrity, right, you have to show that the same organization that you‘re smearing actually did the right thing in this case.


Turns out he did and ACORN lied about what they did in the Philadelphia Office

The video was released on October 21 2009.

Comment of the Day

This “inconsistency” business is silly. It’s perfectly consistent for a prosecutor to overzealously prosecute most defendants but let cops off the hook for outrageous abuse. I’d be surprised to find one without the other. It’s typical law-and-order horseshit.

Are you honestly confused by the sight of an overzealous prosecutor who thinks cops can do no wrong?
