CNN (paula zahn) announced they will start the "Electoral Map" Countdown
Translation....

Between now and the election, CNN will use "rigged polls" to inform

the American voter "why they should not even waste their time voting".

Here.."look at our map"....don't bother voting.



How can this be combatted...?

5. Judy Woodruf Can Play Vanna White to Bill Schneider's "Sajak"
And they can run with all of the fabricated "CNN Poll" numbers and Wolf Blitzer can pontificate about his divided love between GW Bush and the War in Iraq.

6. ALL they should be doing is suggesting people to vote for the candidate.
this is like announcing to calif on election day ..."why bother" at 5pm election day.


This SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED FOR THAT REASON

Quit watching. Tell your cable co. that you want the channel removed. Delete the channel.

8. What is it, 47 days til the election?
We need to hit them HARD with a "You aren't supposed to MAKE the news" campaign in the faint hope they will be shamed into reconsidering.

But it has to be ENORMOUS to have a hope of working.

13. if they announced that their math is pretty bad
likely they have PA, WI, FL, WV, OH, MO, NV, CO all in the Bush column. That's the current conventional wisdom. Ain't gonna happen so what's the fuss?

12. well it's starts with polls... and if you get alot of repug polls the
integrity issue of the electoral count and "misuse" becomes of great concern.

Dems don't have the RW media brainwash effect. We have to rely on "grass roots"...AAR radio... internet and Kerry's daily mic speech.

I think it's goin to get very ugly...very partisan with CNN/Fox when it comes to rigged polls.

14. Want to hear something truely, truely sad???
Husband just walked into the room and casually said "gee just read the Time magazine and Bush is way ahead"............it's the propaganda folks and it's going to take it's toll. I honestly don't think he quite believed me when I tried to explain the whole thing.........I think I'll go hit him upside the head.
