The TV Media can't show us how the votes are being counted
but yet they tell us that the votes are being counted, and not to worry.

PLEASE TV media, just once, show us, on TV, how the votes are being counted.

CAN YOU DO THAT?

2. Its a simple request, the ON TV media, as patriotic as they are,
should have no problem showing us how the votes are being counted, in a democratic country like the US of A, being as they are promoting Democracy in other parts of the world, and sacrificing the lives of our kids to do it, the very least they should be able to do, is show us ON TV how the votes are being counted. in the GREAT US of A.

4. Think beyond TV
All media are reporting what can't be proven (unverifiable election results) and what they haven't independently verified. We have already declared no basis for confidence in the results reported from elections held under current conditions. Now we must declare no basis for confidence in the media.

Do not be afraid to confront your local media. We The People are in a position and have the necessary clout to re-define what is required of the media to be considered credible.

This is exactly what we're doing here in Humboldt. On 9/21, at 6pm PST, you all can tune in via www.khum.org for a forum on media accountability. I will be part of a panel discussion with newspaper editors, radio news directors, and even the general manager of a TV station. Help me hold their feet to the fire. Then get a forum like this going in your town.

6. We need level minded people like you, because
my idea would be to start challenging these reporters, to a little one on one, if they want to continue to lie to our family, Friends and neighbors, kinda like, if they believe what they say to be true on OUR airwaves they should have no problem stepping out for a little one on one to defend what they say.

Straight up fair and square fight to defend what they say.

7. Thanks kster
Correction to above: www.khum.com

Yes, challenge them. But don't make it so that it is zero sum, win/lose, you vs. them. Do it in a way that leads them to do their job the way you'd like to see them do it. Bring them any of the bombshell reports, such as Hursti I or II, Brennan Center or even one from the GAO. Get a sit-down with an editor if you can, or at least a writer, and explain the implications on your county's voting machines. Put the local hook right in their hands and help them understand your community's place in the bigger picture. To whatever extent you can, help them write the story that you want your neighbor to read.
