In the absence of an American "Fourth Estate"....
Given the deafening silence coming from the US corporate media you may wish to consider inviting a Canadian investigative TV show to look at the mountains of vote fraud and suppression links that have been posted here over the last 2 months.
The Fifth Estate is produced in Canada by CBC TV, a publicly owned national broadcaster.

From http://www.cbc.ca/programguide/program/index.jsp?program=the+fifth+estate

“For over a quarter of a century, the fifth estate has been Canada’s premier investigative documentary program, acquainting viewers with a dazzling parade of political leaders, shady characters and ordinary people whose lives were touched by triumph or tragedy. Loved by critics and audiences alike, the award-winning series has become a ritual for millions of Canadians from coast to coast.”

Here are some links to topics they have covered:

Cheney
http://www.cbc.ca/fifth/dickcheney/index.html

September 11
http://www.cbc.ca/fifth/conspiracytheories/index.html

Iraq
http://www.cbc.ca/fifth/faith/index.html

If you feel they may have something to offer regarding investigative reporting of the vote fraud situation contact them with your comments and vote fraud links at
http://www.cbc.ca/fifth/contact.html

Their home page is
http://www.cbc.ca/fifth/contact.html

I’ve often seen the comment “Canada counts its ballots by hand in 4 hours for their national election” attached to various vote fraud postings here and elsewhere. Mention this if you contact them as it may help them put some traction under the story by comparing how we conduct elections to how the US does.

As there seems to be zero investigative reporting being done on this issue in the US corporate media it may be worth a try.

If they did look into it the real challenge would be getting the product in front of enough US viewers to wake a few people up.

(My first post other than replies. Hope format/content is OK, spell-checker is doing weird things)
