21. Media lies
The media have been lying for Bush, pushing his election frame of choice since Nov. 2.

It's unbelievable that Bush's miniscule support among blacks would be spun somehow in his favor, but they evidently have no shame.

Here's a graph of Kerry support vs. black population in each of Cuyahoga County's 1436 precincts:



The cluster of precincts where the black population exceed 90% voted for Kerry in excess of 95%. The few outliers in that region are due to ballot mixups.

Bush's presidency should be seen for what it is: a reaction of white racists, and only enabled due to suppression and disenfranchisement of black voters.
