Tribune Columnist Causes Controversy Over Presidential Election Fraud Stor
Robert Koehler likes to ask tough questions and tackle issues ignored by the press. When he asked if the 2004 Presidential election was stolen, it created a rift in the Chicago Tribune newsroom, providing an example about the sad state of media affairs existing today.
June 18, 2005
By Greg Szymanski

Some people say Tribune Online columnist Robert Koehler works inside the belly of the beast, working inside a corporate media hungry for money but short on truth telling.

2. Glad to see this.
"My company (Tribune Online Services, a branch of the parent company) wants me to follow up on the election story and I am going to continue writing about it. But looking back at what happened, I can’t help but think the media is now sacrificing it’s own relevance by refusing to print and be open to stories like mine.

"It’s a modern day Jim Crow situation at heart, but I am a continual optimist. I keep believing this whole sad situation can be turned around some day. All I can say is I am going to keep writing about the controversial issues and stories, like election fraud, that have basically been ignored by the media.

But what also has been ignored by the Tribune and others, who are blaming the messenger while forgetting the message, is the sum and substance of Koehler’s election story.

3. Dare To Report It
This country has gone from having four estates to just one, Halliburton. Rock on and keep on keepin' on. Reporting the truth is a high form of patriotism.
