Has anyone else ever heard of a media lock down on an election before?

[deacon]

This is ludicrous. How can they not address the issue of voting discrepancies? It's their job dammit.

Jon Stewart was so right when he said they provide a disservice to America. News media is supposed to hunt down the facts and the truth. The discrepancies are FACT and deserve a serious look not a burial.

They are a bunch of phonies. "News you can trust" "Fair and Balanced" "Clear and Balanced". Bullshit.

In fact, this cover up adds fuel to the fire to believe the election was fixed.

8. Also, They want to be the media gods who look down on us and tell us what

to think. They hate the internet. They don't want the challege. It bugs their enormous egos.

4. Hitler in Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union come to mind....

....In fact, they started out by regulating and pressuring them and eventually "running them"....Anybody who didn't fall in line, lost their job or worse....Soviet Union ended up "owning" the system and the messaging....Karl Rove and this White House have become experts at their "Fax Blasts" that have all the daily talking points that get distributed to the media contacts and political pundits and they decide who gets to come to the White House and have access to information....

I have a friend who is a Producer for a major news program on Cable TV...she told me there is a news blackout...I've known her 15 years...She is truthful and has no reason to make something up like that....

5. Are you implying that

things have degenerated to that state here?

Well, for the most part I agree. }(

Only the Soviets and Nazis snuffed out the light of freedom. The fat lady hasn't sung here yet.

[Pachamama]

9. Yes....

...they are on the way....

The fat lady hasn't begun singing....yet....

Sadly, anyone pointing this out is identified as an alarmists....centrists and moderates on both sides of the aisle tend to have a hard time accepting this as a possibility because they have a hard time accepting that our "stable democracy" could be anything but that...what they don't understand is that we are dealing with a group of people (the neo-cons and the Bush Administration) that are as Henry Kissinger has described in his teachings as a "revolutionary power"...When America finally wakes up to the realization that we have been taken over by a revolutionary power, it will be too late...

6. Yes

In Germany in 1932.

7. american media is dead, why are you surprised?

just repeat it until it registers and then learn to ignore it.
mantra:
"american media is dead, only the foreign news has truth." /repeat

you'll be cured of your surprise and anger soon enough when this finally sinks in.
