Media and Election...........
Please keep in mind when reading or listening to the news reports,there is no independent media in this country anymore. If anyone here has watched "Orwell Rolls In His Grave" you will see that the reporters have no control anymore on what gets covered. They have former newspeople from CNN and elsewhere who talk about this. There are only a few corporations who own everything and they and their editors choose what is covered and "how" it is reported.

When you hear people say that this story is not being given the proper coverage or investigation, believe it. But that does not mean that there aren't a large number of people within the news industry who believe something happened.

But until it is impossible to ignore it, they will.

Please, anyone who has not seen this documentary, really needs to watch it. It will open your eyes.

2. Ted Turner and George Soros should team-up to buy
back CNN from AOL Time Warner.

3. I've been wondering...
Does this apply to newspapers as well? They seem to be a lot more broad in their coverage, and include more local looks, but to some extent look like they cover what the TVs cover. Who owns whom?

4. Yes, I've seen it . Part of 80 hours I've recorded off of
Free Speech TV and Link. I am positive every one of these silent bastards knows so much they can barely contain themselves. I saw that weird look on election night. Those anchors didn't know what to say. I don't think even they thought they'd have the balls to steal it this openly, zooming up the numbers around 11pm.

The key to your message is "until it is impossible to ignore it"
I think that is happening as we speak. We've all been such good little viewers up until now.
