VIDEO: Russian TV Reports on E-Voting Concerns in U.S. Election System

Featuring Pieces of Interviews with Brad Friedman & Thom Hartmann...

Share article:

Last week I ran the video of an interview that Russia Today (an extremely popular English language state-sponsored Russian satellite/cable channel) flew into town to conduct with me. That posting included some thoughts on the interview, which also included some of my thoughts on problems in the U.S. corporate media.

Now, the RT reporter Anastasia Churkina files a broader report on concerns about the e-voting systems to be used in our upcoming election, including more from my interview with her, and another with my friend Thom Hartmann. Here’s that new report (appx 4 mins)…

By the way, between those two Russian TV appearances, and a live one scheduled for Monday with Clint Curtis on Riz Kahn’s Al Jazeera English program (to discuss the new documentary Murder, Spies & Voting Lies), I will have easily spent more time on foreign TV this year than on American TV. Heckuva job U.S. corporate media!

For convenience, the video of my “complete” interview (at least what ran on RT, as I discussed last week) is posted again below (appx 3.5 mins)…

    Wow, what a reversal. The Russian media looking into the corruption of the American voting process and the American corporate MSM is too abased and/or too oblivious to even pay attention to this issue! Although I now realize I was fed a crock of _hit about what our country really stood for, even back in my long ago, cold war school years, it is still hard to believe where we are now. I guess that makes me anti-American to the right wing idiots out there. Actually, I love this country, I just hate what the right wing, complicit Democrats and our failed media have caused it to become.

    (P.S.- Anastasia Churkina is hot. Don’t know enough about her to say how good a reporter she is but at least she’s covering a story that our MSM is ignoring at our peril. 60 MINUTES could use an infusion of fresh blood and talent- maybe they could steal her.

    Where was the hot chick’s closing statement made? In the background I saw an RTS bus.. that’s the kind of bus I’m looking to buy (conversion to RV/home).. I need to know where to find such a bus..

    and it has nothing to do with hoping to run into a hot russian journalist! .. really.. 🙂
