The silence of the national media is starting to break...
I also noticed this when I did a search on Google today "Ohio recount". Looks like the protest yesterday is getting some attention.

Public Rally at Statehouse in Columbus, Ohio

Daily Update
Saturday, December 4, 2004
Protesters during rally Saturday at Ohio statehouse in Columbus

The silence of the national media is starting to break... The story of the historic protest today at the Statehouse in Columbus, Ohio has already been carried by ABC News, Washington Post, and CBS News.

Much of this week's activity took place in the courtroom, culminating in a victory for democracy when a federal judge ruled yesterday that the recount will go forward in all Ohio counties.

Today we took the cause for fair and accountable elections to the streets for a public rally on the Ohio Statehouse Lawn in Columbus, organized by CASE Ohio. Later, we participated in a symposium with Greg Palast (author of The Best Democracy Money Can Buy) at the Africentric Middle School, broadcast live by Pacifica Radio.

1. How Many were at the Rally?
Does anyone have a complete report? There must have been more then 400- the photos show what looks like at least 1000.

4. Unfortunately
I don't care if it was 400 or the 1500. The simple fact is "how many were at the rally???"

Not Enough...

3. We have got to work harder


The truth about the voter fraud is a dot on the screen of knowledge on the TV screen and the newspapers.

They have controlled this story so that even liberal Democrats are afraid to hear the word Stolen.

5. Rove and Co. didnt have any smoke prepared for December...
...so the networks have space to fill. Plus, Keith Olberman had a 128% increase in his market share in November! And the lead and follow up shows at MSNBC got a boost too.

Question for anyone in the news business, is there any speculation about how NBC Sport's Exec's Ebersol's plane came to crash? I hate to speculate, but bad thoughts cant help going through my head, and I am wondering if they are going through the heads of journalists.

>>AP President Bush overlooked a flip-flop of his own when he boasted Wednesday about launching the Homeland Security Department: He was against it before he was for it. John Kerry told Americans he has a health care plan that covers all of them, when he doesn't.<<

>>Bush accused Kerry of voting 98 times to raise taxes during his 19-year Senate career. But many of those were multiple votes on the same bill, and 43 were bills that set targets for taxes without making any changes in the tax code.<<
