An Open Letter to the New York Times (and by implication) the Rest of the US Media Who are Trying to Whitewash the 2004 Presidential Election Scandal

Dear New York Times, etal,

As a long-time subscribed reader of your publication—one I have always staunchly defended one of the best in the world--I am incensed by your dismissive handling of what is one of the most significant breaking news stories since Watergate.(your Nov.12 article,Vote Fraud Theories, Spread by Blogs, Are Quickly Buried)

Here I am, seated at my computer, submerged in the nefarious bowels of the internet—reading a New York Times article with all the “twitchy cloak-and-dagger thrust” of booking an airline ticket, making a hotel reservation, a bank transfer or reading the Washington Post, Atlantic, New Yorker, ABC, NBC, and CBS headlines—things most of us do on a regular basis in the “parallel universe” that is the internet (citing another derogatory and patently absurd quip by NBC News’ Chip Reid).

1. My standard quip on newfangled internet

Is to point out that Fedex is newer than the internet.

Had you done your research, you’d have recognized the difference. Perhaps you got your internets confused: I see from today’s headlines that the “Pentagon Envisioning a Costly Internet for War”—Tim Weiner reports that “the Pentagon is building its own Internet, the military’s world wide web for the wars of the future. The goal is to give all American commanders and troops a moving picture of all foreign enemies and threats—a ‘God’s-eye view’ of battle.” Maybe that was the internets you had in mind—I’m quite content with the God’s eye-view I’m getting right here and now on this ol’ fashioned democratic internet.

The story is bigger than Watergate. Your dismissal of it is on a par with the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion.
