The Philadelphia Bulletin reports
that attorney
Heather Heidelbaugh recently
informed a House Judiciary subcommittee that The New York Times
had killed a story last October — shortly before the U.S. presidential
election — that would have revealed the Barack
Obama presidential
campaign’s intimate ties to the
infamous
voter-fraud group ACORN (and to ACORN’s sister group, Project
Vote,
which has been similarly implicated in far-ranging voter fraud).
In
October a former ACORN worker, Anita Moncrief, told Heidelbaugh that
she had been a “confidential informant for several months to The
New York Times reporter, Stephanie Strom.” The
Bulletin
story, penned by Michael Tremoglie, fleshes out
the details:
Ms.
Moncrief had been providing Ms. Strom with information about ACORN’s
election activities. Ms. Strom had written several stories based on
information Ms. Moncrief had given her.
During
her testimony, Ms. Heidelbaugh said Ms. Moncrief had told her The New
York Times articles stopped when she revealed that the Obama
presidential campaign had sent its maxed-out donor list to ACORN’s
Washington, D.C. office.
Ms.
Moncrief told Ms. Heidelbaugh the campaign had asked her and her boss
to “reach out to the maxed-out donors and solicit donations from them
for Get Out the Vote efforts to be run by ACORN.”
Ms. Heidelbaugh
then told the
congressional panel: “Upon
learning this information and receiving the list of donors from the
Obama campaign, Ms. Strom reported to Ms. Moncrief that her editors at
The New York Times wanted her to kill the story because, and I quote,
‘it was a game changer.’”
