The news has been slanted only in the anti-ACORN direction, but I'm glad to see they are making their voice heard and defending themselves.

"Last July James O'Keefe who has been in the news lately with videos from other ACORN offices came into our office," said Russell, "Unlike the videos he has been showing on the internet, we refused to help him and called the police and filed a report."
