Reply #19: It's called an editor [View All]

You asked why they have such a rediculous contradiction in teir article. I beleive that many journalists are beginging to find out how bad this is, and see the big horrific picutre. They write a report that is probably even more scathing that what gets published, their editors then balk at the idea of going "out on a limb" and calling the shrub on this. They then insert these little lines "Though it can't overturn the election..." and "Incidents are few"...

I wish I had saved the link...i haven't been able to find it again. Nov 6th, there was an article I found through google news titled "Despite violence, election goes smoothly." I felt that really sumarized the divide between concerned members of the press and the conservative editorial staff. All articles about the election were given a nerf padding before being released.
