CNN Spoof -- Election Fraud Reporting
CNN BREAKING NEWS.....

Wolf Blitzer : This just in CNN is reporting that Fox News, and MSNBC are reporting a Yuppie protest happening right now In Jackson Hole Wyoming. Lets go to Susan Malveaux Reporting live from a poling station inside the Jackson Hole Ski Lodge where a Score of people seem to have just about had enough of the games being played by the Demcrats....Susan....

Susan Malveaux : Yes thanks Wolf, thats right. I don't know if you can see this through all the cameras and commotion, but there is indeed a crowd that has become increasingly vocal about expressing their displeasure at Democrat tactics designed to, as they claim " Steal the white house". ..Wolf..

WB : Susan by the looks of things behind you this isn't an isolated incident, have you heard of other incidents like this elsewhere in the country, and what exactly are the tactics the Democrats are using that have these people so incensed?

SM : Well wolf, to answer your first question, I've spoken with almost all of these demonstrators and most have been on the phone with members of the media all day and they say many other reporters have admitted seeing similar activities employed by democrats at various polling places.

WB : Great Susan, but what are some of these Democrat tactics been protested?

SM : Yes sorry Wolf its becoming noisy in here, maybe you can here the chants of "Go Bush Go"and " U.S.A..U.S.A.".... But as far as tactics go Wolf, I think the biggest concern is the out of state Mexican Americas the Democrats have dispatched here to Wyoming for the sole purpose of challenging long time residents right to vote.

WB : Wow Susan, thats unbelievable even for the democrats....

SM : That's not all Wolf.....The protester also claim to have had to wait in line for up to 45 minutes to vote citing only 6 voting machines in a precinct that has had up to 10 in previous elections. To add to the nightmare faced by resident here, two of the six machines stopped working at around 9:30 this morning. Calls made to the Democratic Election Commissioner pleading for back up machines were Ignored. ...

WB : Those are some pretty serious charges Susan what if anything is being done about it?

SM : Well Wolf, Plenty! The FBI arrived shorty after 10am saying they had received "Several" tips, and have so far removed the Mexican American poll watchers and impounded the malfunctioning machines looking for any evidence of Democratic tampering. Although things seemed to have been settled when the Governor personally delivered 5 brand new voting machines to replace the missing boxes, one can never be certain the the Democrats will stop trying to block votes here or elsewhere, the protesters say, so they remain vigilent....Wolf

WB : Susan Malveaux in Jackson Hole Wyoming covering a fight for what is essentially, Democracy itself...Thank you Susan we'll check back with you soon.

10. Village Voice - "...the media are ignoring the stories..."
This article was published in the Village Voice (last story on the page)

http://www.villagevoice.com/issues/0447/murphy.php

<snip>
"If you think the media are ignoring stories about flaws in the presidential election, you are not alone. Letters to the Voice charge that the media (including this newspaper) have prematurely dismissed reports of polling problems. Electronic-voting critic Bev Harris claims there's a "lockdown" on reporting the story. "

"At the heart of the matter in Ohio, two reporters at the Cleveland Plain Dealer say there is a little newsroom griping over whether the paper has been doing enough. The Dealer has run pieces on discrepancies in vote reports and long waits at the local polls. "

"Other election stories lurk. Outside Ohio, a few outlets are paying attention to a statistical study from the University of California at Berkeley that finds an odd relationship between electronic voting and votes for Bush in Florida: The presence of touch-screen voting correlated with an increase in the Bush total from 2000 to 2004. And inside Ohio, third-party candidates say they'll pay for a recount once the official tally is done around December 1. The vote is still out on whether the rest of the media will notice. "
