Tovia Smith on NPR Morning Edition -- Tone

says it all -- thinks we need to 'get over it" Talks about the people in front of Kerry's Pace. NEVER Mentions Ohio or Florida or New Mexico or other places with problems. Says that we are "hoping" one Senator will stand for Debate. No indication that they even know about Conyers report....

Listen and then write them -- I heard it about 6:20 am it goes in Hour cycles usually:

3. NBC, too

Bimbette news reader says, "Congress meets today to confirm the electoral votes for president..."

No mention of Conyers, the challenge or anything. Just singing the corporate media song.

4. I've written Morning Edition -- included the link to the

report -- included the link to one of the AP reports announcing it yesterday -- urge, if possible for others to do similar. Let them know that they dropped the ball. Going to work now... *fingers crossed* for a good day....

6. Just heard it.

How annoying. "these are the Kerry die-hards" while talking to demonstrators outside Kerry's house.

Although the interviewee does do a good job of putting the issues out there. But she's just not getting it -- it's NOT ABOUT KERRY!

She even found an interviewee to say that it's a "conspiracy theory."

Ok, now she's talking to one of the demonstrators who get it: "it's not just about this election."

Well, shit, it was kind of annoying but it was COVERAGE. but yeah, not a damn thing about Conyers. :mad:
