17. MoJo's Recount article: Insufficient, Inadequate, and Insulting |
|
Hertzgaard's journalism was an embarrassment to MoJo's normally top flight standards. It was slip-shod, result- orient and one-sided; the natural result of a lazy and cowardly effort on his part. I for one will not renew my subscription to MoJo.
As an Ohio voter, I am insulted by this ham-fisted effort to undercut the fledgling Ohio voter fraud movement. Hertzgaard put forth phony premises and straw man arguments which would have made Rush Limbaugh blush, then phoned up the usual suspects (local BOE officials mostly)to breezily dismiss various components of the vote fraud case.
TFC has effectively countered the thrust of Hertzgaard's hit piece: 1) Triad illegally manipulated computers in at least ten counties we know of, not just Hocking, 2) the Warren County lockdown gave a elite group unfettered access via computer to other counties' tabulators as well as the state's central mainframe--at precisely the time that the exit poll results went south, and 3)the vote flipping in Mahoning was not "corrected"...it caused havoc the whole day long. And his article didn't even begin to evaluate the vote suppression in Franklin county caused by mis-allocation of machines.
God forbid he could have traveled to Ohio and talked to ACTUAL VOTERS instead of BUREAUCRATS!
