Media Scoundrels Ignore NY Primary Irregularities

By Stephen Lendman

America resembles a banana republic. Its sham political process has no legitimacy, democracy in name only, voters with no say whatever.

Democrat party bosses intend nominating Clinton at their July convention - rigging primaries to assure it, perhaps the tainted NY one the latest example.

Republican counterparts want anyone but Trump, despite overwhelming GOP voter support he enjoys.

America’s political process is rigged, too debauched to fix, a vital issue media scoundrels ignore. Instead they pretend US elections show democracy works - for the privileged few alone, excluding most others.

A same day article asked if Clinton stole the NY primary, explaining it was rife with irregularities, including disenfranchising over 125,000 NYC voters and various other disturbing practices....

Upstate counties were unanimously for Bernie while the cities, which are presumably more liberal, were for the less liberal candidate.

Check out the map:

Bernie won every town in my county, often by wide margins.
It's puzzling and beyond any head scratching one might do, points to diddling with election totals here as in other previous primaries.

...vote flipping software, disenfranchisement/suppression tricks, and other election theft tactics in high population density areas--and in so doing, give themselves away.
