When will the media stop giving quotes and start giving facts about Ohio?
It seems as though the articles put out by the major companies are all presenting the fraud issue as a "he said" "she said" type thing. WTF? Why aren't they doing independent research and reporting the facts? Why are they trying to make it seem like this is just Democratic spin?

1. Look at who controls the media, plus most reporters are lazy...
...so doing independent research is far more work than would be worth their efforts. It's just a frickin' job!

2. Fourth Estate Has Been Firebombed
Good journalists remain in the profession. Sadly, though, most all of the angles for them to report the truth doggedly have been sealed by bean counters and partisan editors.

5. That's a rhetorical question, right?
They will NEVER report facts.
