Mainstream Media Finally Speaks on Election Fraud
Failure to release raw exit poll data shows networks' true colors

For those watching the growing body of evidence concerning election fraud in our past presidential election, one question has remained: Why don't we hear about this on the evening news?

As of yet it's been hard to explain why the controversies in Ukraine make the headlines, but when similar problems are discovered at home, you have to scour the Internet to find the information.

It certainly isn't for lack of events on which to report. Members of a House Judiciary Committee have been meeting regularly reviewing evidence of systematic voter suppression and voting machine tampering. A coalition of lawyers have filed a lawsuit against the Bush campaign citing deliberate manipulation of votes. Sworn testimony and signed affidavits have implicated companies, individuals, and a Florida congressman.

This developing story could eventually turn out to be more explosive than Watergate. But it's rarely mentioned on the major networks, and when it is, there's almost always a chiding remark about the "conspiracy nuts" and obscure "internet bloggers" who are behind it all.

The truth is, it's not just conspiracy nuts, or bloggers, or even just Democratic supporters of Kerry. It's a growing number of people who want to know what really happened on Novermber 2nd. It's teachers, doctors, lawyers, all kinds of people who care about their Democracy just as much as the people in Ukraine do. And a recent survey showed that even without the media coverage, 20% of Americans believe the election was stolen.

For these people it's been a difficult task to spread the word, and to tell the uninformed about the election problems. That's because for many, if it's not on the evening news, it isn't happening. And as soon as you start telling someone about it, their first question is always, "Why aren't I hearing about this on the news?".

1. Sad story, but true

There must be away around all of this when dealing with the news media. We could do what we done with Sinclar. One at a time....???

2. I think

at some point they'll get caught with their pants down.

if the electors are contested, and/or if arnebeck's lawsuit results in prosecutions of any politicians, people will realize what a horrible job the press did and their credibility will be damaged.

I agree it would be good to organize a boycott of some sorts to let the media know we're not going to take this lying down. It would have to be well planned. Boycotts only work when A LOT of people participate.

3. I agree.

Good essay!

4. it's no coincidence

If something does happen with Kerry tomorrow, I say it's not a coincidence that it happened the day after the TV Networks rejected Conyers' request.

I think that their refusal to release the exit polls turns everything up 5 notches, and it provides a real reason for Kerry to say or do something.

5. FYI - title of this article has changed to:

Mainstream Media Refuses to Release Exit Poll Raw Data
TV networks finally display their true colors

6. Great article-What are they hiding and why?

How can we get them to come clean?Can Keith Olbermann help?He mentions it in his blog from yesterday(Challenges and the Challenged).http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6210240/
I think the exit poll data is the smoking gun.When the Mitofsky server went down at around 11:00pm,with Kerry ahead by 3 points,and then came back on at around 1:30am,with Bush ahead by a point,this is highly suspicious.This is taken from an article in the Washington Post,dated Nov.4th.http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A23580-2004Nov3?language=printer
This thread needs to be kicked and often.
Kick,Kick,Kick......

7. None of the MSM especially TV outlets have the guts to request

FOIA or do investigative reporting.
Threats of jail time and ridicule of real reporters such as Dan Rather...FCC fines, all part of the control.
MSM TV news coverage is now tabloid media, it is more important to report on Peterson trial, Michael Jackson and Blake.
It is a shame.

8. What are they hiding? Theme song for so many these days.
