Maureen Farrell does a masterful job, in a new BuzzFlash piece today, of rounding up the national disgrace that is the current Mainstream Media coverage of VoterGate 2004. The piece is called “Election Angst Update: Clark Kent Vs the Media Wimps”. The whole story is worth a read, particularly if you’re new to what’s been going on or are still in denial about the import of this story and how the MSM has so far completely missed it with the exception of one guy at MSNBC.
Here’s just one of her many money quotes:
There is no doubt, of course, that had the e-vote been on the other foot, FOX News and Drudge would be discussing voter irregularities ’round the clock. And if Kerry’s brother were Florida’s governor and had a track record of disenfranchising Republicans, Rush Limbaugh would be throwing tantrum after tantrum. What do you suppose would have happened had the head of a voting machine company promised to deliver Ohio’s electoral votes to John Kerry? Close your eyes and imagine.
Still have questions? Go read the whole story.
Cheers to you Brad and kudos to Maureen Farrell; thanks for linking her posting.
It disgusts me that the MSM keeps referring to the "comfortable margin" of the 3 and a half million votes G.W. Bush ‘won" in this election.
Mr. Jennings and others in the media who are misdirecting everyone by this all know full well that the more important number in question is 136,000 – the supposed total vote difference that gave Bush 20 Electoral votes from Ohio, eh?
Thinking people everywhere must continue to bother these broadcasters and their respective stations. Tell them that they are endowed with their paychecks by the public trust; these same bradcasters must continue to be reminded that they are supposed serve us.
Is anyone else livid over this stuff? (Besides us?)
