When writing a sentence containing an acronym should the word the be used before the acronym in a sentence?

It depends, in part, on whether it is really an acronym or an initialism. Typically, if it is an initialism representing the proper name of a specific organization, you would use "the" before it (e.g., the AFLCIO, the UN, the BBC, the UAE), but if it is a true acronym, you do not (NASA, NATO). The greatest exceptions seem to be the initialisms for names of universities (UCLA, NYU), which are typically pronounced without "the." That may be more prevalent in the United States than elsewhere.
