Christopher Hayes false claim on video from the Philadelphia ACORN Office

Chris Hayes false claim on the 01-28-10 Countdown when he said that James O'Keefe did not release a video from the Philadelphia ACORN Office.

Turns out he did and ACORN lied about what they did in the Philadelphia Office

HAYES: Oh, thats absolutely right. And thats actually whats so frustrating. Its whats so frustrating about that first round with ACORN. You know, there were tapes that were made in the first round when they were going to those ACORN offices, including one in Philadelphia in which the ACORN office called the police and said, We want to get rid of these people, and, of course, those tapes were never released.

And to me, that shows that what theyre doing is not journalism, because you have—if theres any baseline sense of integrity, right, you have to show that the same organization that youre smearing actually did the right thing in this case.
