Are networks and cable news
shows gonna milk their election coverage cause of the millions of dollars spent on studio changes. CNN has this huge screen monitoring every state return and they're not going to post any state numbers before 7pm...hell my state closes at 6pm.

3. The networks WANT a disputed election.
Their PRIMARY function is to make a profit for their parent corporations. Informing the public of the truth is secondary.

4. Absolutely disgusting from channel 0 to 1000.
Still running stories prejudicial to candidates(guess which side?) still giving stupid analyses no one needs to hear. They might as well be reading "My Pet Goat" for all the high salaries they are getting. They are still poised to let Bush steal this one under cover of the avoidance of a certain word.

GOP- vote suppression. Thousands of minority voters robbed.
Dem- Vote fraud(some registered person isn't processed right.
GOP- challenges. Tabulation needs "adjusting".
Dem- defending their votes(implying they are hiding fraud).

Either a wash or we get it worse. NO ONE in the country is getting the stark reality of what the GOP fraud machine is doing in broad daylight. It hardly ranks up there with social security benefits. The average voter is feeling his way through the fog latching onto scraps of truth in spite of the misrepresentation of obvious facts.

It's still the same damn scandal we saw in 2000 as far as the media disservice to America is concerned. And I fear that most of them are too plain stupid to know they are just plain stooges for election crime.

They deserve an eternal boycott.
