Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

ACORN Sues Makers of Hidden Video

HeadlineSep 24, 2009

The anti-poverty group ACORN has filed a lawsuit against the makers of a hidden-camera video that secretly filmed the group’s workers appearing to offer advice to a pimp and prostitute. The video led to a congressional vote removing ACORN’s federal funding. ACORN says the videos were illegal, because they lacked two-party consent.
