Cable news networks haven't been fed their "how you will spin" angle yet. Way too risky to cover live until the corporate bigwigs advise what they should tell the sheeple.
Cheers anyway on this historic day!

Which is why it's ALL ABOUT THE MEDIA
we will lose untill we can bring balance, back, or atleast have our own conduits of communication in mainstream media.
We will keep losing as long as we cannot get our message out. Propaganda works, and we are letting rehtugs use it against us.

Way cool. We got coverage.
I did not notice anything on Drudge which I consider to be the mainstream media.
It was covered by AP and hopefully will get even more coverage. Still they did not hear about the other things ... Curtis, communist spies, etc.
Hopefully the talk shows will bring that about in the days ahead.

NBC Nightly News had a clip!
Basically, a traditional ceremony was "interrupted" in the approval of electoral votes. Democrats seeking to highlight voting irregularities in hopes of reform.
I don't know...more fluff than substance. Certainly didn't wake up America! We'll have to do that!

Let's organize a boycott of advertisers on Fox News and maybe one other cable news network. It can be limited yet effective. Watch a show, list the advertisers and write to them saying that if they continue to support this network, which is biased in reporting news and not reporting newsworthy information that is important to the public, we will no longer purchase there products. I did this in October with the "stop sinclair broadcast group" and it worked. That boycott was with regard to a show "The Pow Story" they were pre-empting regular shows to air. I will look around and see if there is already a boycott going on that we can join.
Thanks.

I cancelled my cable TV. The shows tend to be silly (sorry, don't mean to offend) and the news is...well, you've said it all. The internet is the best way for me at present (and radio) to try to keep informed. Why doesn't everyone whose fed up, and busy trying to get electoral reform going, just cancel your cable? Would you really miss anything important? Just a suggestion.

Haven't really found anything significant yet. Maybe I'm putting in the wrong key words. You know I was wondering how I ever found this blog. I remember at one point i typed in "recount ohio" in yahoo's search engine. That must be where I found you.

"Staples stops advertising on Sinclair
Citing an effort to be responsive to customer concerns over Sinclair’s injection of partisanship into its nightly newscasts, Staples, Inc., announced it will no longer advertise on local news programming on Sinclair stations nationwide."
This taken from www.mediamatters.org/
I'll keep looking.....................

The Grudge Report (Drudge) has now carried a piece of the story. Their reporting is a crying shame, just like the rest of the mainstream media they are wedded to.

There is some AP coverage too ... which mentions exit polls.
Exit polls were cited in the Moss v Blackwell case with an url to a major exit poll site
One republican congressman said that exit poll data was old wives tales. One wonders, then, why the practice is supported by major players?

The Boston Globe added a surface discussion of the events. Details left out.
