2. Fair and balanced
This is a second post of the same issue, sorry, but I thought it would be appropriate to post this here as well:

If you think media has been unfair, why don't you write to:
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,122626,00.html

I know, I know, Fox News. But they seem to encourage people to contact them - so why don't you give them their feedback and see if you get some kind of coverage?

Here is their e-mail:
dayside@foxnews.com

6. I have no interest in boosting their hits
Most of America knows they are R-Wing. Those that do not are foolish or goners.... what's the point?

4. Good! That is a first step ....
If there is going to be a rEvolution of consciousness and such, it will start with a rejection of the mass propaganda machine and its filters.

Once you feel emotional about it, that should motivate you to spread the word.

12. Do you think the term should be called "election fraud"
instead of "voter fraud"?

9. I sent this to Lou Dobbs
Edited on Wed Nov-24-04 03:23 AM by jsamuel
(the first part was here)

Lou, that last part was not directed at you, but near you. I know you really care about people in this country and around the world. I feel that we the people really need someone like you to take the proof that has been found and take a small leap to bring it into the public eye. The thing is that it isn't really a leap, more like a baby step over a very fine line. The proof is there, it just needs the attention this country and her people disserve.

10. Well, you should be pissed off at the media...
There is just a slight corporate problem with them (i.e., they're beholden to the corporations and shareholders and NOT operated in the public's best interest as they're supposed to be - oh, and that pesky problem of the major media being owned by 6 corporations)...

But the Florida Voter Fraud thing: I'd like to see that definite proof. I haven't seen it yet, and would really like to.

11. "EMAIL WAR" on the media? Here's the "Death Star"...
If enough people use it.

Send out 392 emails to national media contacts with four clicks of the send button. I was gonna start promoting it tomorrow, but its fully ready to "fire" now. <Except some em's come back and need to be updated. So if any kind Du'ers want to research the new contact info for the returns, it would be greatly appreciated. (The listed was created from the DU nat media list.)>

,Also, you can check out this one made especially for the Senators. Not quite ready for prime time yet.. needs a little more work.

17. Great idea BUT... shouldn't we be able to modify the headline we insert?
Just in the spirit of personalizing our email. Instead we jump to step 2. I think it would be a worthwhile fix. Nothing worse than a bunch of emails -- all the same exact subjects. Nice job though. I read you were working on and voila, here it is.

18. Actually, You can modify the whole thing before you send it.
It goes into your email program, just like any email you send.

And Olbermann always says: "keep those em's coming". Emails do matter - especially in large numbers.

21. Why Keith, why? - election was not stolen, but was it controlled?
Keith,

Why haven't you or someone else talked seriously about the HORRIBLE obvious fraud in Volusia? I mean that is so obviously fraud. I am a computer scientists and if you have "network drives" on your computer as Volusia does (from Blackboxvoting.org), that means that the central tabulating computer was hooked up to other computers.

THAT'S RIGHT! Not just a phone call to the modem there, but a constant communication between that computer and other computers. THAT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THERE. Ok, that in itself doesn't "prove" anything, right. (not to mention the whole trash thing and gross vote changes)

I think the thing that everyone is forgetting here is that this isn't some civil suit or criminal trial.

YOU CAN'T CORRUPT THE JURY BY GIVING THEM MORE INFORMATION.

You can use a reasonable mind, look at what has happened in Volusia and know that they fixed at least some of the precincts. It doesn't take a computer scientist to know that.

By the way, when someone brings a charge against the government, they are guilty until proven innocent. THAT IS THE BIG DIFFERENCE HERE. THEY ARE NOT A SINGLE PERSON OR CORPORATION WITH THOSE KINDS OF RIGHTS. THEY MUST ANSWER TO US.

If the election was stolen this one time, boo hoo, I will cry to my wife and in a week or two I will just keep fighting for what I believe in...

BUT IF THIS ELECTION WAS CONTROLLED, THAT IS SOMETHING ENTIRELY DIFFERENT. I THINK IT WAS UNDER SOMEONE'S CONTROLL. THIS OLD LADY FROM VOLUSIA DIDN'T THINK THIS UP HERSELF. ALSO, IF THE VOTES IN VOLUSIA CHANGE TO KERRY VOTES, THAT WILL MAKE MOST OF THE OTHER COUNTIES LOOK LIKE THEY SWUNG EVEN WAY MORE TO BUSH THAN THEY SHOULD HAVE.

America cannot afford to have controlled elections. In governmental terms, we would be a dictatorship with revolving dictators and we might already be that. I am scared Keith.

Love ya Keith,
------

22. Medis coverage we aren't seeing
http://www.wishtv.com/Global/story.asp?S=1649813

I've posted this in another thread too, cause I don't know where to post it. They have been doing a series on this. They had a demonstration and had unddergraduates put together a rigged election in a half an hour!

23. jsamuel you must be a slow learner or have a huge tolerance for b.s.
welcome to the enlightened.
the media is corrupted and are not going to help unless it becomes "the story" or "election fraud 2004 : the scandal". If republican blood starts to flow they will go into a feeding frenzy. keep fighting, thats all we can do.

24. Media irony
The media often excuses its overbearing coverage of trivial, sensational stories (Ron Artest, Scott Peterson, Janet's boob, yada, yada, yada) with the lame excuse that there isn't much happening. What's their excuse now?
