9. I suppose it would be wise
to take articles of Pravda with grain of salt, though aside from theories that were presented, article seemed to be mostly spot on what has been said in this forum many times over.

"architect of that fraud, Katherine Harris, was elected to the United States Congress, the Ukrainian Supreme Court had the integrity to invalidate the results of that nation"s presidential election".

(I suppose this previous paragraph can be interpreted so that Pravda isn´t wholly in line with Kremlin, which preferred Janukovitsh to win - unlike Fox that is almost comically compliant with the current line of US administration)

"But perhaps most notably, people in the Ukraine bravely held around-the-clock vigils in inclement weather, demanding that the honor of their democracy be respected and restored. In the United States, a nation supposedly comprised of freedom-loving, fair-minded people, the overwhelming majority of Americans (with the exception of a few scattered protests) apathetically ignored allegations of electoral fraud in states such as Florida and Ohio".

(This is something that has puzzled me as well, maybe most were discouraged by what happened in 2000?)
