Just when you thought CNN was reporting on the election fraud...

...with this headline from its ALLPOLITICS page:

NAUGHTY BOYS AND GIRLS

Recount goes bad
After checking the list a second time, the staff at "Wolf Blitzer Reports" finds a few more naughty moments than nice.

The story mentions NOTHING about election fraud. Apparently the "recount" refers to "checking the list twice," and the "naughty boys and girls" refers to:

Howard Dean did sort-of a naughty thing the night he lost the Iowa caucuses and screamed his infamous "Y-e-e-a-a-a-h-hhh!" The exclamation proved to be politically fatal.

John Edwards was nice. His whole persona was built around being nice. But nice guys sometimes finish last. Edwards couldn't even help the Democratic ticket carry his home state of North Carolina.

Teresa Heinz Kerry was a tad naughty when she replied "Shove it" to a journalist who had been highly critical of her. On the other hand, Laura Bush was nice in brushing aside Heinz Kerry's remark that the first lady had never held a real job.

And the hired guns who made all those attack ads for the Bush and Kerry campaigns were very naughty, highly negative and sometimes nasty. Unfortunately, naughty is often effective in politics.

Bashing all Democrats, all the time. Ne'er a discouraging word for Bush, so once again CNN lives up to its well-established reputation as a Bush-fellating organism...

2. Just don't watch CNN anymore and you won't know a thing about it.

No, CNN, no CNBC, no MSNBC, no NBC, ABC, or CBS. I come here to get my news, and will watch C-SPAN for the video fix, but that's it.

8. I watched him moderate a debate between Rev. Jackson and Falwell.

He wasn't a goose-stepping little fascist. He was more like great Aunt Matilda who was once sharp as a tack, but is now old, befuddled, wheezy and confused.

6. A Modest Proposal

Can't start a thread yet, but ...

Since mainstream media (newspapers, news magazines, TV news) won't cover the election fraud story, how about if thousands (tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands?) of subscribers were to cancel their subscriptions citing this as the reason? Of course, boycott TV networks as well. If others think this is a good idea, spread the word and we'll take our money out of their pockets.
