BILL CHIROLAS:Salon's Farhad Manjoo: just bad math -- or biased(?)

[Tace]

William Chirolas -- World News Trust

Why does Farhad Manjoo pretend in this Salon article that he has refuted Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., when he should know that, without the number of show ups and the number of those who requested provisional ballots, he has no data that can imply anything?

Farhad Manjoo has NO stat that refutes Kennedy's: "In what may be the single most astounding fact from the election, one in every four Ohio citizens who registered to vote in 2004 showed up at the polls only to discover that they were not listed on the rolls, thanks to GOP efforts to stem the unprecedented flood of Democrats eager to cast ballots."

For Example:

Dems register 1,100 new voters, but 1,000 do not make it through the system, GOP register 200 new voters, and 100 do not make through the system.

On election day all show up.

It is a tight, near-50/50 race -- at least by the "official count" -- with 910 GOP to 900 Dem the count.

We move to the provisional ballots.

1. Kick & Rec - This is painful & necessary - putting the info out there and

getting criticized, clarifying where necessary, and going on.

Personally, I think Manjoo is a tool AND Kennedy must respond. :patriot:

Remember: Kennedy hosts Air America "Ring of Fire" Saturdays 5-7 pm EST!

The listener call-in line is always open at 866-389-FIRE.

2. Manjoo is dragging Salon down into the "mainstream" media gutter

Glad to see somebody taking him on for that lame piece of disinformation.
