Mike Flynn on Big Government (The Website) & The Videos That Brought Down ACORN

Mike Flynn, one-time government affairs director for Reason Foundation, the nonprofit that publishes Reason.tv, is the editor of Big Government, the latest site from Andrew Breitbart's new media empire. http://biggovernment.com

Big Government focuses on the dirty side of politics, which means they've got enough material to last them for centuries. The site made a huge splash be releasing (as recently as yesterday) a series of guerilla videos in which members of ACORN, the community organization that got tons of public money, apparently helped a fake pimp and prostitute figure out how to set up operations. Big Government followed that up with transcripts from a controversial teleconference between White House folks and artists that led to the resignation of the National Endowmen of the Arts director of communications.

In October, Michael C. Moynihan sat down with Flynn to talk about the site's early success, long-range game plan, and how new media is changing politics in ways that we've only just started to understand.

Sadly enough, the government had to be shamed into defunding this farce of an organization.

AshillaBeige Well if you havent seen the reason for my comment, the person noted for no reason that this guy was for big government, so I pointed out that he was journalist (meaning no need to criticize at this moment) then you decided to add you 2 cents by bashing me, the only thing I can say to your last statement is FUCK YOU TOO my friend. Take care
