the conservative=specific hair across the ass about ACORN is a joke. not worth bothering with. another fake issue to keep those folk occupied with being Angry About Something. it's hard not to tip over into taking swipes at the mindsets behind this. luckily, it's not worth the bother either.
if you want to move out from repeating the obvious--that fox news is a conservative political outlet masquerading as a news source---and the problems that this fact both reflects and exacerbates---the erasure of the line between political statements and matters of fact---and go to a systemic problem, one that explains much about the sort of idiot politics that are possible in the united states, you might consider the question of framing.
infotainment in the states across media is routinely presented without context but with lots and lots of punchy, charged rhetoric. so the information is itself flat--atomized by being ripped out of the environments from which it flows and to which it refers, so the contexts that make events meaningful---but to keep you, consumer, engaged, there's lots of zippy-to-inflammatory language to help you figure out how to React to Situations the understanding of which is not possible, given your access route.

these are a couple bullet-y corporate-speak style introductions to framing.
they give an idea of what the term means, what it refers to. the references are in the main much better, but this is a messageboard and not a seminar, so peruse at yr leisure.
