I've seen this repeated so often on this board and tried to rebut it when I catch it, but thought I'd go ahead and top post the actual facts.

The Hill repeated false GOP claim that ACORN is a "beneficiar[y] of the stimulus package"

Summary: The Hill's Jared Allen repeated the false claim that ACORN is, in Allen's words, a "beneficiar[y] of the stimulus package," and uncritically reported NRCC communications director Ken Spain's false suggestion that the stimulus bill includes "a $4.2 billion bailout" for ACORN. In fact, the bill does not mention ACORN or otherwise single it out for funding. Additionally, the bill requires that the $4.19 billion it allocates for "neighborhood stabilization activities" be distributed through competitive processes.

Thank you..but I'm sure they'll just claim that these facts are suspicious because they were reported by the "liberal" media. Honestly..it's so annoying.

but of course, you're right.
