MSM now covers election fraud possibilities-- but NO MENTION of 2000.
Ain't it strange?

It's now the Conventional Wisdom in the MSM that electronic voting is open to tampering and fraud.

Nearly every news outlet has covered the flaws that would allow just one person with one machine for a few minutes to skew a national election. There are demonstrations, investigations, illustrations.

It logically follows that election 2000 would be examined.

But have you heard ANYONE reporting on these flaws connect this new conventional wisdom to 2000?

Lou Dobbs? Nope.

Keith Olbermann? Nope.

Tweety? Nope.

And not even any Democratic talking heads will touch the question.

On and on and on, no mention of the probable use of these machines to steal 2000.

Jazz didn't begin with Dizzy Gillespie. Election fraud didn't begin in 2004 or 2006.

1. msm only points out what everyone else already knows.
they are quick to jump in front of a parade and act like they are leading but very slow to take any sort of chances.

what i think will happen is that as it slooooowwwwly develops, eventually, they will get back to 2004, 2002, and 2000 and discuss the fact that the R's had to steal to take the potus and the senate and to keep the house as long as they did.

2. About two years ago when the Capital Gang was still on
the show went to a break with the mike inadvertnely still left open. Margret Carlyson (spelling?) turned to Al Hunt and made a comment about election 2000 to the effect, but we are not allowed to talk about that are we?

When I heard that, I realized why there was virtually no discussion on this subject about the controversial way in which Bush* had come to occupy the White House. The networks had been forbidden to discuss this, but by whom???? Their corporate owners? The White House?

3. The MSM are the traitors in our midst. They
are one reason we still have the regime we have. The truth is out there for everyone in the world to see, yet they keep kissing up. A truthful press would have fought for our country.

4. of course, if someone did start talking about it....
...say Lou Dobbs or Olbermann, the hue and cry from every corner would be like a million shrieking apes. I can hear it now. Even members of the so-called moderate middle would be unhappy. "Picking off that old scab" is what Tweety would say. "Get over it" -- that would be Kerry's comment. Such talk actually would be counterproductive for the new Democratic congress. It would be twisted to depict all Democrats as "angry" and sore losers.
