Videos of ACORN employees trying to help two people posing as would-be criminals were posted and discussed primarily on the internet (but also on Fox news, which continuously pointed out that other major media channels were ignoring the story) until the U.S. Senate voted overwhelmingly to cut ACORN’s federal funding. The story continued to unfold last week, as newspapers and broadcast media followed it.

Here’s a summary today from U.S. News and World Report.

The U.S. Census has terminated its contract with ACORN, and both the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House voted overwhelmingly this week to cut off all its federal funding, after a series of undercover videos showed ACORN staff in five offices across the nation offering tax evasion and business advice to two people posing as criminals intending to establish a prostitution business with underage illegal aliens.
