''A Media Blackout: Media Whites Out Vote Fraud''

Violating the maxin that if you keep doing the same thing over and over and expect a different result you are crazy, I am posting this from ILCA Online today. While we're on the subject of the media, here's "Pundit Pap-Spin Tsunami" from the American Politics Journal. They focus their wrath on Tim Russert, never a bad thing to do. More media (some spots the white out missed): "Count Every Vote: On Radio This Week." Update: Another violation of the Media Blackout today: "Ten preliminary reasons why the Bush vote does not compute, and why Congress must investigate rather than certify the Electoral College (Part One of Two)," from the Columbus Free Press. Pithy quote: "This list involves very large totals of uncounted, tainted or fraudulent votes. Taken together, they exceed Bush's margin of victory in Ohio." Update: In Columbus, Ohio "Election Reform Rally Planned," has this: "A group will rally in Columbus today in favor of national election reform and to call attention to Thursday's joint session of Congress where it's expected to certify the election results." Ed Schultz spent some time today on his Air America show talking about Conyers, Senator Boxer and Thursday's joint session of Congress. The Cleveland Plain Dealer starts its story this morning on this subject with this: "With Congress set to certify the presidential vote this week, U.S. Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones and the Rev. Jesse Jackson tried Sunday to keep Ohio's election in the spotlight." Ed Schultz has a reporter on scene in Columbus, Ohio from the rally contesting the election results there right now on AM1090 in Seattle, the Air America affiliate here, KPTK. Callers to his show are keeping the issue on the air. Update: "Will John Kerry Report for Duty?" makes this observation: "John Kerry may have one more chance to “report for duty.” On Jan. 6, after the new Congress convenes, he could join with Reps. John Conyers, Maxine Waters and other members of the House of Representatives in supporting their expected motion for a full-scale investigation of Election 2004, particularly the widespread allegations of voting fraud in the pivotal state of Ohio."
