"This past Wednesday, November 24th in Denver Colorado, a small group went to the Denver Post headquarters to protest a media blackout on coverage of the issue of election fraud. They tried to see someone, anyone at the Denver Post but were turned away at security checkpoints consistently. Eventually they settled for a phone number a vowed to return every Wednesday at noon in greater numbers. According to one member, they have not ruled out spreading the protest to other cities."

It's a travesty that the media won't give this story coverage. WHO is being threatened.......or paid off at the largest newspapers and television stations?

Why have we given the media such power. It's time to say WE ARE MAD AS HELL.....AND WE AREN'T GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE!!

7. The article is fascinating!!

It explains WHY the news media does not cover voting fraud! News media corporate ownership wants to be able to merge and aquire more & more radio, newspaper and TV outlets without FCC interference.

So what do we have so far? A strong desire to merge and acquire, secrecy, and thank you to the son of the Secretary of State of the Bush Administration. Oh and a need for the current administration, who is very friendly to media mergers, to stay put in order to push through the FCC's agenda. Then along came Kerry... Kerry was short sighted in this case. What one thing could he possibly do to make all of our major media hate him? Even if he was right?

John Kerry, "I'm against the ongoing push for reducing restrictions on media concentration," Kerry said on August 6, 2004, echoing the question by Forbes senior editor Brett Pulley. "It's contrary to the greater goals of democracy for the country." Kerry said this right before all of the major media outlets decided who to support for President.

Media news group has initiated a near total blackout on coverage of the election fraud issue, an issue that could potentially remove the republicans from office, thereby resulting in the election of a government less friendly to loosening of FCC cross ownership law, severely hampering their ability to merge, acquire and thus grow. This could force them to divest themselves of properties, limit their ability to control advertising rates and information, destroy their growth potential. That is, if fraud where proven and the elections invalidated.

This is an issue that is vital to the health of our democracy yet because we have allowed big media and politics to become so entwined and media companies to exert so much control, they now determine the very information we receive. They in effect have the ability, for a great number in our society, to say what is the truth. As a society we have allowed ourselves to become disenfranchised from the truth, giving this responsibility over to corporations whose number one goal is to make money. In this case, the truth is, corporate profits over democracy, civil rights, and the vote.
