MSNBC and CNN finally report Acorn scandal

MSNBC and CNN are all over this story about the arrest of conservative activist filmmaker James O'Keefe, most famous for his undercover sting of ACORN. The upside? In covering this story, the networks were finally forced to inform their viewers that there was in fact an ACORN scandal.

[Update]
Jonah Goldberg makes the same point:

I can't help but get the sense that a lot of folks are much more excited to report on this than they were about the original ACORN story. Heck, it might be news to reader's of the Times that O'Keefe even exists.

Okay, now I get it. John Hood offers this theory:

What I think they were really doing was recording video of a fake repair visit in order to create a piece ridiculing Landrieu for voting for Obamacare despite the legions of phone calls from constituents against the bill. “Why didn’t she listen to the voters?” the gist of the stunt might be. “Were her phones not working?”

That makes sense given this video made by O'Keefe last year, where he visits Olympia Snowe's office ridiculing her for wasting taxpayer funds on Amtrak.

I forwarded the previous video by O'Keefe to John Hood, and he responds here.
