Aaron said the F word!!!
Aaron Brown used the word fraud in a serious manner. He might have even said it two or three times. Doesn't the FCC have a rule against anchors using the F word on TV?

1. That's all I wanted.
I just want the word out there. I want people to have permission to start considering it.

Baby steps, y'all.

3. He did say it, "not just Fraud, but mistakes" as in massive mistakes
like the Mars probes crashing etc. Well it's kinda like our elections crashing.

5. Imo, they can say fraud til they turn blue in the face but if they dont'
connect it to the Bush** campaign, it won't do any good.

6. BUT
no mention of Volusa Co. investigation and no real interview with Bev - they're still soft peddling the whole story

8. they are pretending to cover it

10. Thanks for the linky, jsamuel. I just wrote them.
"Thank you for your short interview with Bev Harris. It would be nice to have a more in-depth story, as the Mystery Election of 2004 is beginning to attract more national and global attention. As things now stand, I seriously question the legitimacy of this election outcome and have deep concern that future elections will be similarly tainted."

It's ye old carrot-and-stick approach, not that we can compete with the millions that the bush cabal throws their way, needless to mention the gory headlines.

11. Just emailed CNN. Gave positive feedback but mentioned
that the 80% rate of people surveyed who thought we had a fair election would be a lot less if voting irregularities were covered by the media!

12. I can't be nice to them, I just can't.
But I did post..."There is a tremendous amount of voter fraud being uncovered in Florida (Volusia County, particularly, as well as Dade, Broward and Palm Beach), with the electronic voting machines. And the Ohio recount is of national importance. The disenfranchisement of minority voters, students, the optical scanning machines that misread, machines counting backwards, people punching Kerry and seeing Bush come up on the screen - literally thousands of reports. I was personally suspiciously removed from the voter roles in Palm Beach County for the August 31 election, etc. etc... I truly believe Jeb and Glenda Hood, as well as Mr. Blackwell in Ohio, and the ES&S and Diebold vendors - all have a distasteful conflict of interest. I am very discouraged that my vote will never be counted as long as Jeb Bush is in charge. Thousands of reports of misdeeds on November 2, and so little media coverage - places the media right down there in the gutter with those who would destroy our democracy. Remember your high school civics classes, take the high ground in your coverage... or you will be surprised how many Democrats (and we are half of the country) might stop watching cable news. I personally have not watched CNN, MSNBC, Fox, CNBC since November 3. You people don't seem to focus on the news that matters to me. When I hear rumors that things have changed, I might tune in again. Until then, I'll get the news from more trustworthy and serious vendors - and watch a lot of holiday videos."
