The Hill, UPI uncritically reported false GOP claim that Dems steered recovery money to ACORN
February 21, 2009 5:23 pm ET
SUMMARY: The Hill and United Press International forwarded the frequently repeated Republican falsehood that Democrats steered money to ACORN in the recovery bill, with The Hill writing that Rep. Dave Camp "took a particular shot at ACORN, the controversial grassroots group that has lobbied for Democratic candidates, saying that the stimulus bill unfairly benefited the group." In fact, the act does not mention ACORN or otherwise single it out for funding.
