NEWS: Covering the lack of coverage
Covering the lack of coverage

Well, if the media isn't all that interested in covering election irregularities and undermined voter confidence at least it's covering the criticism that it's not covering it.

While the monumental step of statewide recounts in Ohio and New Hampshire are shaping up, the media remains largely disinterested, preferring instead to critique the worries of those seeking answers. Or else they're busy debunking rumors that there's a media "lockdown" on covering problems with voting. Curious thing to debunk while you are, in fact, not covering it.

1. I am starting a personal campaign to demand coverage
I doubt it will do any good but if everyone starts contacting media outlets and demanding coverage maybe they'll be forced to. I'm starting with emails now, calls starting tommorow and maybe some personal appearances at local outlets...

2. A good list:

But please be aware that some on the list do not feel they should be lumped into the same category of the others.

Happy hunting.
