Did Fox News switch to trying to scare people with ACORN because nobody was

No. They covered a story about a community organization that gets billions of dollars of our tax money performing criminal activities. ALL news networks currently stink. ALL of them. However, in this case, Fox was right to cover this criminal activity.
By they way, the death panel thing was a way of gaining a lot of attention and it worked. It made people read the bill. They found out that there would be appointed groups of bureaucrats that could and would have the power to deny individuals treatment even if they could pay a doctor cash for it.
If you read the details of the bill and still think the government is better suited to make decisions over your health then I think you are a fool.
I have a policy. My life is mine.
It's simple, but it seems sensible to me.

Is that why they took it out of the bill?
Fox News did not create this story. Some kids decided to do a kind of undercover sting to see what these people would do. And it was very enlightening!
This was newsworthy and Fox News reported it. The other stations waited for ever to report on it.
Gee, what would have happened if a conservative group was exposed with a sting like this?

The Acorn story has been around awhile.
From the entire Dallas Cowboy football team, be registered to vote in Las Vegas
To the Brother of the President of Acorn stealing almost a million dollars and then the president trying to cover it up and not reporting the theft to the police.
To the recent videos.
Acorn has received over 100 million in government funding
Don't you think its a story worth reporting ?

Acorn needed oversight, which seems to be a problem with other entities as well. Look at FEMA and how they messed up because nobody was watching. Look at the banks and lending agencies that held their hand out for the bailout and then gave inept executives obscene salaries and bonuses. Look at the housing industry that lured people into mortgages they didn't understand and couldn't afford. It all comes down to GREED and the lack of rules and regulations. Who can we trust? We have a brilliant man leading this country, for a change, and he inherited a horrendous mess upon election. He needs our support!

na they are just getting a head start on the slandering.
they want people to think ACORN is a corrupt organization based on the actions of a couple idiots.
If they repeat it enough times, they can glean a few votes out of the naive by election time.

Right now they are stalling with their 24/7 news coverage of the fish in California and the lie that cap and trade is going to cost every American $1,700 a year, while they desperately try to come up with a new boogeyman. I think they expected more mileage out of the czars thing....

Well ACORN and now the czars thing. Fox is diverse, wait that is not the correct word,,, I have to think about it and get back to you.
We have "death panels" already! READ YOUR INSURANCE COVERAGE!
Honestly, I can't believe all the outright lies being spread by the insurance industry. The insurance companies have spent millions spreading FUD(fear uncertainty and doubt). If we don't get a public option the insurance companies win. As this point it looks like the Insurance industry OWNS CONGRESS and we will not get health care reform.

Heh, good point. Remember the hysteria about Obama "pallin' around with terrrrrists"? You never hear much about Bill Ayers anymore, do you? Where's that cabinet post he was going to get?
It's always been that way. They prophesize doom, and when the world survives, they change the subject. Remember the McCarthy era, when we were told that Hollywood, and the Army, and even the Eisenhower administration, were filled with Commies who would overthrow our government? Remember when Ronald Reagan predicted that Medicare would mean the end of the world as we know it?

ACORN doesn't scare me.
It's people who think it's okay to suggest to child prostitution rings to go ahead and bring in underage illegals for the purposes of prostitution and then use them as tax shelters by calling them "dependents" that scare me.
Seriously, what in the hell is the matter with you, if you can dismiss this behavior as anything other than something that needs to be investigated further and STOPPED IMMEDIATELY?
If ACORN were a conservative organization, you'd be clamoring for the heads of everyone associated with them.
