Rove needs "honest media" out of the way -- "e-voting" & election theft
What is rove's worst enemy....truth!


America is "on alert" for election theft...but...you need media to run with it ...to prosecute it.


CBS was sloppy/or not (who knows). What I do know is that the rove media is going 7x24 trying to bury CBS.


Without CBS...who carries "e-voting theft" ?

1. Who does carry e-voting theft?
No one else? Is that possible?

2. No one.
I must say this though..In "Orwell Rolls in his Grave" Greg Palast tells the story about the 57,000 voters who were purged from the FL. voters rolls and the investigation he did. He received a call from CBS about it. They asked him if THEY could run his story, he said "Sure! Run with it!" he didn't see the report come out after time went by so he called CBS to find out what was going on. They told Palast that they decided NOT to run the story because THEY HAD CALLED JEB BUSH ABOUT IT AND JEB BUSH SAID IT WASN'T TRUE!!!! SO, they didn't run the story. THAT story alone would have saved the election, but NO NETWORK would tell it. :(

5. Because they would NEVER "out" them.
Be that Jeb, the chimp, the Governor of Ca., Diebold, Or ANY REPUBLICAN involved. The press will not do it. They (the press) are in total control of our country. They know it. They like it. PLUS, their corporate bosses will fire their asses. ;) Their bosses have given MILLIONS and MILLIONS of $$$$$$ to the repuke party. The repuke party gets the favors in turn for tax breaks and funny FCC laws.

4. absolutely!
that was a main point of my post from last night (which, sadly, was sidetracked by 'OJ was innocent' comments)

6. when Kerry wins
Edited on Wed Sep-22-04 09:17 AM by Cocoa
the Bushies will claim e-voting theft, like the opposition in Venezuela did when Chavez won.

And the media of course will run with it.

8. Distraction as Offense/Carving upCBS
The whole point of the memos was to discredit CBS before they run anything else more damaging.

CBS does not appear to have the military/industrial complex backing of the other two.

CBS took a hit over the Janet Jackson "show."

CBS may be targeted for carving up among the remaining networks, if they can railroad the FCC and Congess into just about completely eliminating any rules about station ownership in the same market.

CBS is beginning to act like they might want to remain independent. The others I think will fall into line with the agenda- one big media arm for administration propaganda.
