The PIMP piece was clearly a hit job. Was it embarrassing for ACORN? Of course it was...but it's not journalism.
The big three news stations try to keep things on the level, and admittedly they have lapses...but if I was the editor this wouldn't even come close to passing the basic smell test. It's not "news".
I'd note that other cable stations like CNN did cover the story as an "interest" piece, although with a bit more objectivity as the right-wing punditry.
