    ***CHICAGO — The once mighty community activist group ACORN announced Monday it is folding amid falling revenues – six months after video footage emerged showing some of its workers giving tax tips to conservative activists posing as a pimp and prostitute.

    "It's really declining revenue in the face of a series of attacks from partisan operatives and right-wing activists that have taken away our ability to raise the resources we need," ACORN spokesman Kevin Whelan said.***

    Okay, here's the part I find very interesting.

    Nothing about this, not a peep, on Drudge.

    HuffPo has it (obviously), and it's a headline on FOX and CNN covers it too though more sparingly.

    So my question is, why the hell would Drudge completely ignore something like this. It's a major victory, is it not? Shouldn't the right wingers be dancing in the streets over the horrific ACORN going down??

    I don't get it. (well, I kinda do but I'll wait for some comments and see if I'm on the right track :p)
