I'm grabbing at straws at this point, but what about
an orchestrated blitz to six primary media outlets demanding they devote column inches or air time to election security and voting irregularities? The silence is killing me!

Washington Post
New York Times
CNN
NBC
ABC
CBS

1. All corporate-owned. It's gonna have to come from folks like
Bev Harris. You can help her out at the BBV site.

2. You know what?
I think that our better strategy is to continue to make them irrelevent. Let's feed our alternative media as much as we can, let's continue to build the blogosphere, let's recruit our friends and anyuone we can to turn to internet sources for their news more than cable and broadcast -- aside from Jon Stewart and folks like FSTV and LINKTV and Democracy Now and, of course, AAR.

We can also work on the ones you cited (IOW: do both what you're suggesting and what I'm suggesting), but I am finding myself less interested in trying to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear -- but I AM interested in holding them accountable, if possible.

3. I agree. I have little respect for these mainstream media outlets
but have to acknowledge they have an audience that needs to hear this message. Speaking of Jon Stewart, when is he going to jump on this story?
