Any mention of Ohio on the Nightly News Shows?

[Stephanie]

I didn't hear anything about it on ABC News. Am about to watch Jim Lehrer, who won't cover it either.

[MuseRider]

1. I don't watch them but

I heard an NPR report that called the very thought of election fraud in Ohio ludicrous. I almost drove into a ditch.

[righteous1]

5. NPR said that, your kidding n/t

[jamboi]

9. What program was that? They have audio archives of most everything.

I'd like to hear that.

[MuseRider]

13. Not certain

I was just listening to the news by accident, I usually switch it off, even NPR is too disgusting many times. It was about 5:00 central time on my local public radio station(KANU). It was followed up by a story about the cool job of being a sniper in Iraq. I don't know, I really don't listen much.

[jamboi]

11. This morning had brief coverage on SF channel KTVU, at least.

Recount, protesters in OH, challenge lawsuit. Seconds long, but covered different things.

[peacetalksforall]

17. They reported, it wasn't an NPR person who gave an opinion...

The reported that someone (didn't catch who) said that the county elections are overseen by 2 repubs and 2 dems, therefore if there was fraud the dems would have to be in on it. The way I understood it - the person was a spokesperson for election officials or a propaganda artist.

The point is that the depth and breadth of the crimes makes it impossible for election officials to know what was going on and even when they were right there - they probably had no idea what the fixers were doing.

If anyone tells me that they were hard core computer people who were trained to determine if there were hardware wiring or software coding and that they examined everything before, during, and after the vote and that they were also election officials...then there might be something to the 2=2 theory. And that's only the computer part of the thefts.

The propaganda has now been geared up many notches. We are going to hear unbelievable things to mollify the unbelievable thefts.

[MuseRider]

21. Thank you.

We tend to get nothing out here in Red land so my first line of defense is to turn it off, second line is to only half listen. This blew me away. Thank you for clarifying, I was a bit hesitant to post it since I was only half listening but I did hear that and really was stunned by it.

2. CBS mute

6. Lehrer: Iraq's a mess, Saddam trial, CIA in Pakistan, Osama still missing

bombings in Israel

*edit* Pinochet, Ukraine, Yushenko poisoning

On to domestic - HHS nominee Levitt, WH defends screening process re Kerik (LOL!) (McClellan - "we did all we could - thorough vetting process"), NASA director resignation, Electoral College votes

Congressional Dems asked to hold OH vote, they claimed manipulation or fraud!

[librechik]

34. Yay Jim! n/t

[IAMREALITY]

3. I'm Bettin There Will Be Some Mention Of It On Countdown! nt

[LSparkle]

7. Keith O., the last hope for democracy!

[greenmutha]

4. I wrote NBC, ABC, CBS today about it. (I know... pissin in the wind!) n/t

[LiberalAndProud]

8. PBS silent.

[Stephanie]

10. Jim Lehrer mentioned it in the news summary!

Don't know if they will follow up. Said House Dems asked to have electoral votes held. Mentioned lawsuit. Said they are claiming fraud.

[Stephanie]

15. The Newshour does long features on Kerik and Judy Blume

Total loss.

[leftchick]

12. I watched for the first time in weeks...

NADA! But lots of scott peterson! :(

[TrustingDog]

14. "There's a Lot to talk about!" - Judy WoofWoof (?)

on CNN.
unfortunately it was about the Scotty case (which has been blaring for HOURS now...)

swinette.

[zimba]

16. Why such a media blackout. At this point its

unfathomable. As each day goes by it seems more and more like a modern day bloodless technocoup.

[zeemike]

18. Every coup has a blackout

Of news or any kind of communication. It is essential to the cover up that must follow.

[Hamoth]

19. Who the hell is peterson? I don't have tv

but I keep hearing eveyrone is angry about the latest distraction which is the "peterson" case...Is this another damn sports thing?

[clydefrand]

22. For the last two years! we've heard nothing but Scott and

Lacy Peterson news...well, today he was sentenced to death for killing her and her unborn child, Conner. I'm so sick of all the air time given to this story and hardly any to the issues that we want to hear about.

Of course I have feelings for both families and for Scott even though he might be guilty as hell. I don't know if he is or not.

[Hamoth]

23. So why is it such a big story?

is there some unusual angle to it?

[carolinalady]

25. it was X-mas eve when she was missing/ killed and she was

about 8 months pregnant. It occured shortly after the little girl in Utah was found alive so the media was particularly tuned to these types of cases. She was picked up as a national missing person story and it went from there.

[Hamoth]

26. O.k...SO it's just random? I'll stop...Glad I don't have tv. -NT

[Straight Shooter]

28. The big story? She was pregnant. And everyone involved is white.

Therefore it's a big deal, because a nice-looking white man killed his lovely and pregnant white wife, and so naturally all of America is very very interested because, oh my goodness, isn't it just awful?

Ask those same people if 100,000 Iraqis have died in bush's war and they'll look at you and say, "Huh??"

[Hamoth]

30. Reminds me of my outrage at Columbine ordeal

My school had a few of those days wher psychotic armed students cam in an killed other students. Nobody cared untill some white kids got killed. I was like...WTF!? If I said I was from Columbine that day, people would all be "ooohhh what was that like, you msut be emotionally scarred!" But you tell them you are from a highschool that the police dubbed (and class rings reflected) "Drive-By High" and you are just unemployable and "hung up". Outrageous that the poor and minority communities had dealt with school murder for years and it didn't mean shit.

[clydefrand]

32. The MSM made it a big story. They weren't/aren't high profile

people until the media made them that way. Just like they did Jon Benet Ramsey several years ago.

[pauldp]

20. The Media's response to this is one of the scariest things

I've ever seen. The complicity of the media seems as big an issue as the election fraud.
It just stinks of fascism - excuse me "compassionate" fascism.

What the hell are we going to do?

[dogindia]

24. Agreed

What are we going to do?

[lizzieforkerry]

29. It's compassionate conservatism and friendly fascism- LOL!

[Hamoth]

27. I'm surprised that even the DAILY SHOW isn't on this

Not even John -my show follows puppets - Stewart will take this on at all? I mean, what the hell!? He was so critical of hte media failing to cover facts leading up to invasion of Iraq, but now we can't even get a comedy show to address this in passing?

[Amaryllis]

35. Somebody on another thread said he doesn't think it was stolen.

I can't remember where. Something I read earlier today. I was terribly disappointed.

[jagsd01]

31. CNN noted it during the day....

[4democracy]

33. Bill Moyer is going to be on Scarborough @10:00 to expose the media

for being right wing puppets or something to that effect. He is the one on DU homepage saying he will expose the media as it really is.
http://apnews.myway.com//article/20041209/D86SBTC80.htm...

[Stephanie]

36. We need to get a thread started in advance on that

I'm anxious to hear what Moyers will say.

[Gregster]

37. He'll go for it!

I think he'll tell it like it is. He's retiring and has nothing to lose.

[marions ghost]

38. Me too--Somebody's gotta talk about this

media problem. Can somebody report on Scarborough tonite? and we can write emails to reinforce Moyers.
