Jay Leno doing his job

That would be making jokes about stuff in the news, especially juicy stuff like this ACORN scandal. Now if the mainstream media would just catch on that it is their job to report on it. Once upon a time this kind of story would be irresistible red meat for the media. What happened?

*Update: The Washington Post lives. This morning's paper carries this background story on the sting:

Hannah Giles was on the phone from the District, and she was asking him to dress like her pimp, walk into the offices of the ACORN community activist group, openly admit to wanting to buy a house to run as a brothel, and see what happened. [. . .]

O'Keefe, 25, packed his grandfather's old wide-brimmed derby hat from his swing-dancing days, his grandmother's ratty chinchilla shoulder throw, and a cane he bought at a dollar store, then drove from his parents' home in northern New Jersey to the District to execute the idea with Giles, 20.
