News outlets ignoring the News

How can it be that ACORN gets caught with their pants down in offices in at least 3 different cities, the Census fires them, and the Senate votes to pull their housing grants almost unanimously, and you can't find anything about it on CNN (other than one small, early story about the office controversy), even when searching on CNN.com directly? Maybe there is too much going on right now. Too many pressing, important issues to report on. Yeah, sure. That's why they have headlines like, "Jessica Simpson's dog snatched by coyote".
