The same Rupert Murdoch Fox team headed by network boss Roger Ailes not only helped fan the flames for the invasion of Iraq. It was necessary first to install the right trusted neoconservative team in the White House and this was accomplished through stealing the election for George W. Bush.

...............

Ellis' election night call gave Bush a decided psychological edge. It gave voters in general the idea that the Republican was president-elect or close to that pinnacle. Gore was seen as the challenger with Bush the leader. The Rove driven forces pushed this idea forcefully.

...............................

The response from Bush when Gore called him to reveal that he would not concede after all was a snippy response that his brother Jeb had assured him that he had won. Gore asserted that Jeb Bush was not the deciding authority. Gore was almost certainly unaware of it at the time, but a Bush relative assisted by Roger Ailes and Fox had emerged as would be election decider regarding presidential projections.

.............................

A congressional hearing was ultimately held regarding the numerous pitfalls and abdications of democracy relative to the 2000 presidential election. Roger Ailes appeared and said he was sorry over what happened election night at Fox.

3. The obvious, plus lied us into pre-emptive war for profit of an elite.

There is a serious problem if the UK exposure of News Corp/Murdoch does not continue to the USA with the DOJ and Congress in the lead.

There are serious problems in the USA and the media and GOP are clowns and the "pragmatic" Dems are complicit.
