Why did the NY Times kill the ACORN story during the campaign?

From Bill O’Reilly who does a marvelous job of connecting the dots. But this message left by the Times reporter, Stephanie Strom, to he source is damning to the Times:

“Hi, Anita, it’s Stephanie. I’ve just been asked by my bosses to stand down. … They want me to hold off on coming to Washington. Sorry, I take my orders from higher up.”

During the election , it was quite clear that the Times was a PR arm of thre Obama campaign, also engaing in a smear story about an affair between John McCain and a lobbyist. The lobbyist, Vicki Iseman has filed a defamation suit against the Times.
Still its curious to see such a partrisan as Jon Conyers to advance the idea of further hearings against ACORN, an organization he is certain to know well. It will be interesting to see it play out and equally interesting to see how congressional GOP members treat the upcoming role of ACORN in census taking.

For the NY Times, though, it is very sad to see such an esteemed newspaper fall from relevancy and even trust for that matter. It news pages can no longer be seen as anything more an operative arm of the Democrat Party
