We have been flooded with responses to our story on charges of voter fraud.

They don't say much, but it's interesting to listen to.

2. I listen to NPR all the time!
Specifically, VPR (Valley Public Radio) in the California valley. Me and hubby are <paid> members and subscribers. I'll drop a line tomorrow after work.

3. NPR had miserable coverage on election night

You can read what I found--but I have to tell you--it has SWEARS in it.

Just listened to the clip and lordy, I knew I shouldn'ta.

It seems their reporter on the case finds that things are just hunky-dory regarding the election irregularities.

Oh Good.

Say, anyone know how much the oil industry shells out to NPR?

6. Okay, I listened to the clip
It was a speed bump. Nevertheless, I will e-mail them tomorrow. I am a member, afterall.

Here is the article about the 200 million Joan Kroc gave NPR

7. Heard Pam Fesslers original poo-pooing of "votegate" and wrote them
to inform them that I was done with them- as long as they are willing to lable anyone who questions even slightly the outcome of the election "conspiracy theorists (thier words)". Pardon my french but- Fuck Nationalist Propoganda Radio.

Still haven't tuned in so thanks for posting the mp3 of the listeners letters. My suspicions were proven correct- they're whores, every last one of them, and Pam "Festering" Fessler is right up there with Mara Lyinsonbitch and Juan "Yowsa, Massa Murdoch" Williams.

Thank you for letting me vent and pardon my childish name-calling. For 20 something years I have been a contributing member, never again, not one single penny more.

8. change the term
we need to get them to change the phrase "voting irregularities" to something else. "voting irregularities" is way too soft for what has gone on. even "vote fraud" is not good enough for it sounds like "evil voters trying to vote fraudulently". we need to get all the outlets to use the phrase like "allegations of stolen votes". something that will make listeners listen. lets start using that in our e-mails.

9. I heard Juan Williams say "Get over it" yesterday.
I want to bombard him with emails with all this interesting statistical evidence being presented today.

I used to respect his journalistic style. Never again.
