SUMMARY: In a segment on conservative filmmaker James O'Keefe, NBC correspondent Mara Schiavocampo reported on O'Keefe's hidden camera investigations into ACORN but omitted key facts about the controversy that undermine his credibility. Schiavocampo ignored that O'Keefe falsely claimed that he was never turned away from ACORN offices; that despite claiming to be "absolutely independent," a conservative donor reportedly funded some of his past films; and that O'Keefe was accused by a friend of doctoring transcripts from a previous project.
