NYT reports illegal Fla. vote purge..3 years after killing story [View All]

[seemslikeadream]

The New York Times has uncovered Katherine Harris's wipe out of thousands of voters... only three years after killing the story exposed by the BBC TV and the Guardian. Here, 'News Dissector' Schechter, formerly of ABC's 20/20, asks how the Times could editorialize on a story they never ran in the first place. And note the Times still can't bring itself to say that the color of the illegally purged votersis....Black

When I read this, I called investigative journalist Greg Palast to read it to him. Greg appeared in Counting on Democracy, a film I directed on the voting debacle in Florida. He was the first top journalist to report on the voter fraud, but in the United States, oh no, but on the BBC in England.

"What?" he shouted at me on the phone." You be kidding." He couldn't believe it because the New York Times refused to carry the story at the time it might have done some good. It didn't even report on the Civil Rights Commission's findings it references in the editorial, only on Republican OBJECTIONS to those findings.
