It's No Wonder That MSM Wants All The Election Races Close.....

[global1]

look at all the money that's being spent on ads. So the closer that MSM portrays each race - the more money the candidates will throw at ads. When will they get it that they are being played by the media?

1. Besides, diebold counts the votes. the only way to steal elections is to make it look close.

Then noone questions the vote count. 2000, 2004, 2006, ....

2. Exactly. +1,000 or a gazillion million

7. Why did you leave out 2008

You think they didn't try?

9. They were at least content to let Democrats win

and take the blame for the horrendous economic situation that no one could fix sufficiently before the 2010 election. They have done their best to hinder the Democratic program since then.

12. You forget the 13 contested congressional races where republicans took seats which were challeneged.

The Party decided not to investigate. Remember? San Diego, for one. Florida. etc.

11. i know for a fact they did just didn't want to spark that particular argument.

a group of citizen poll monitors actually found evidence here on a local level.....

3. Its also why publicly financed elections

will never be taken as a pressing, serious issue by the media. What is the old saying, why look a cash cow in the mouth (or something like that)

4. Close in the polls...a magic 8% in the results. n/t

5. You are correct. They are pushing republicans so they

can rake in the money. Especially CNN because they think fox is getting all the gravy they have to be more aggressive and pan the Democrats ten times as much.

6. They already know ...

but actually it is business as usual for politicans AND the media...the buying of an election while the ratings numbers climb. Nevermind about the struggling citizens who watch as these *duly-elected* officials trample them into financial dust. It's the election that counts.

It's ALL about being elected. Throwing obscene amounts of cash towards lying, bullshit advertising so they can *win* and argue about the rest of the country's nickels and dimes and end up doing nothing while they wait for the next election.

8. Absolutely!

And they can get more people to watch their coverage, so even getting more for nonrelated ads.

10. Republicans have & will steal close elections w/ easily hackable electronic scanners/voting machines
