The pieces I cited aren't just op-ed columns; they're investigative pieces. Cite to some that support your position, if you can. So far, you haven't cited to anything other than your own opinion.

You're trying to draw a rhetorical distinction for some unknown reason, but it's not working.

what? kurtz's is an "investigative piece"?

no, it's not. it's his attempt to slam acorn, and it is not factual.

here is what acorn themselves say on their site:"ACORN Housing and CitiMortgage, Bank of America, First American Title Insurance Company, and Fannie Mae announced today the launching of a new non-profit mortgage brokerage called Acorn Housing Affordable Loans, LLC, to help qualified borrowers enjoy the benefits of homeownership throughout Florida. Additional offices will be launched in other states in the coming months. The new mortgage brokerage will also help homeowners faced with resetting adjustable rates that may make their current home mortgage payments unaffordable

acorn works on affordable housing. that's a euphemism for "cheap"....
