It Isn't Journalism: Woeful MSM Coverage of WI Supreme Court Election 'Recount'
Massive irregularities, e-voting vulnerabilities wholly ignored by corporate media throughout contentious, landmark contest...

-- Guest blogged by Ernest A. Canning

For nearly two months, The BRAD BLOG has furnished in-depth coverage and analysis of the contentious WI Supreme Court election. Our coverage not only focused on the horse race, but, more vitally, on the vulnerabilities of the Badger State's e-voting systems, its lack of transparency, massive violations of basic chain-of-custody procedures revealed during the woeful, nearly-month long "recount" process, concluding with the state Government Accountability Board (G.A.B.)'s certification of the election results as "accurate" despite all of the above, and despite never having received the minutes of the Waukesha County "recount," as mandated by state law.

Beginning with our April 6 article, "WI Supreme Court Election Virtually Deadlocked, According to the Machines Anyway," and ending with the May 31 coverage of WI Asst. Attorney General JoAnne Kloppenburg's description of a "cascade of irregularities" during her concession speech, followed by Brad Friedman's exclusive June 1 interview with Kloppenburg on KPFK, we've offered an extensive and independently verifiable historical record of the extraordinary and exploitable flaws discovered and exposed in the state's electoral system.

Unfortunately, as has repeatedly occurred with thousands of election integrity articles published by The BRAD BLOG over the past seven and a half years, the issues concerning lack of transparency, the potential for insider election fraud, and a reliance upon "faith-based" electoral results, with rare, against-the-grain exceptions, have been greeted by a silence within our hollowed-out, corporate-owned mainstream media that has been so deafening as to call to mind an Orwellian suppression of public consciousness.

"If the Party could thrust its hand into the past and say...it never happened," penned George Orwell in his classic 1984, "that, surely, was more terrifying than mere torture and death."...

3. There is nothing new about this, unfortunately

Sketchy elections are always with us, and laws are written so loosely, that irregularities are rarely investigated thoroughly..Offenders rarely are prosecuted, and if they are, rarely jailed.

The media gets all lathered up and then as more time passes, they totally lose interest

4. Once the ballots have been swapped, there really is nothing anyone can do!

When the counting (crime) is over, the cement has set, the deed is done, the outcome is golden. You can't go back in time to catch them.

Better luck next time :suckers:

6. Thanks for all your hard work, Brad.

You just keep plugging away, despite the unfairness of being ignored. Please keep doing so. Someone has to, and few have the heart for it.

To bad there weren't some twits of someone's anatomy... Could you imagine the coverage then..... Even those on the front lines were not privy to this county's hidden maneuvers.. Numbers that were calculated mysteriously, and then recounted in the recount are somehow suppose to make this right.... We have a long way to go before justice is done. Waukesha is a mess....
