Has anyone seen an MSM article debunking ACORN fraud?
Has anyone out there seen an article in the mainstream media that debunks the stuff about ACORN fraud? I've been trying to allay the concerns with some more moderate coworkers, and I don't know that TPM would be as persuasive to them as evidence from the MSM, if it's available.

A little story courtesy of a recent blog by DF contributes part of your answer.

The link you just provided does not "debunk" the fraud allegations. It simply quotes ACORN talking about how McCain surrounds himself with radicals.

Here's a link to The Trail blog from WaPo (also discussed below by Gregory North) http://voices.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2008/10/14/obama_comments_on_acorn_contro.html#more, with comments from Obama where he details his connections to ACORN and gives his perspective on the issues - particularly the distinction between fraud in voter registration and actual voter fraud.

Here's a full article on the whole ACORN issue in The American Prospect: http://www.prospect.org/cs/articles?article=the_republican_war_on_voting
It's called the Republican War on Voting by Art Levine:

Thanks to everyone who's responded so far. They have been helpful. Unfortunately, I'm hoping to persuade people who view the NY Times as "liberal media," so I don't think the American Prospect or a direct quote from Obama will convince them.
Other suggestions are still welcome.
