Reply #9: Could this be routine? All networks, news services, [View All]

etc., have file copies of obituaries of many famous people on hand so that they can do a quick update and get the news out, with photos, bio, etc., whenever someone important dies.

The media has ignored my candidate, Dennis Kucinich, and treated him rudely, but I think this is a mistake, not a deliberate attack. Remember Reagan's obit getting out by accident?

Surely they must prepare political stories ahead, wanting to be ready with the story as soon as the election results are known. Perhaps it's routine to have a "Smith Loses, As Polls Predicted He Would" and a "Smith Comes from Behind, Gets More Votes than Expected" story already written, to be edited slightly when the polls close.

I realize you're saying only a "Dean Loses" story was revealed this morning. I'm saying they might have a "Dean Comes from Behind" story on file, too, plus "Kerry Wins Again" and "Edwards Wins Wisconsin in Surprise Upset Over Kerry," etc.
