| cnn reported that they have had over 60,000 calls to their hot line re: voting problems, but they... |
|
...won't tell us what percentage of those were from democratic voters and what percentage from repuke voters. i'd bet it's 90% or more from dem voters. why won't they tell us?

| 8. why are you afraid of real information and news being broadcast? |
|
what good will it do after the election, if the repukes steal another one, to find out there was widespread voter supression in the battleground states?

| 7. news is news.....and if there's widespread vote fraud coming from one party or another..... |
|
....we, the people, have a right to that information.
cnn had no problem airing in full a robocall in spanish targeted to cuban-americans in florida. it was a scummy, unfair, untrue robocall that the mccain camp cooked up today and cnn gave it free air time.

They play ads from both McCain and Obama. And god knows that if they didn't play the robocalls, they'd be attacked for not covering them. I'm not a fan of the MSM, but they're oftentimes put in a Catch 22.
It's a voter helpline, not a partisan toolkit. If they started reporting that 70% of the problems were with Republican votes, I'm assuming most of DU be pissed that they broadcast such information.
