WHY ISN'T MEDIA COVERING the voting machine problems
Other than Keith's show, I've seen almost nothing in the media about voting machine "irregularities". All I've seen is smear.

The media should take it upon themselves to investigate the system and help us fix it. Isn't it the least they owe us after covering for the Bush Administration in the lead up to the Iraq War.

Liberal media? My a*s!!

10. What Media?!
Edited on Fri Nov-12-04 09:31 PM by CityZen-X
All we have in this Amerika is the equivalent to Communist Russia's Channel 1. All propaganda 24 hours a day.
I personally do not tune into our so called media at all. If I want to know the truth about any matter I go onto the INTERNET and link, Al Jazeera, BBC, French, or German media. Phuck, NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, and all the other Bu$h*t corporate propaganda outlets!!!

11. It made the NY Times today...


I perused it quickly; seemed utterly dismissive in tone and content.
But at least it was there.

It's fairly lenghty; I will read it carefully after I leave here.

If not, welcome to 1984! We have no "media". We have State Run Television.
