Toronto Star: "Web abuzz with vote-rigging tales"

Web abuzz with vote-rigging tales

The Toronto Star
Antonia Zerbisias
Nov 14

John Kerry may have conceded the White House to George W. Bush, but millions of Americans have not.

...

Just like they did in the run-up to the invasion of Iraq, the media are not asking the questions they should be asking.

...

Of course, driving all these charges of election hijacking is a healthy dose of paranoia based on the all-too-real 2000 election mess. Mix in bewilderment over how so many Americans swallowed the Bush administration lies about 9/11 and Iraq with a generous helping of sore loserdom — and you have the perfect recipe for a conspiracy theory.

But this is one cow pie that stinks to high heaven. You have to wonder why the media aren't sniffing around it.

"But this is one cow pie that stinks to high heaven. You have to wonder why the media aren't sniffing around it."

Because the American media are as docile, stupid, and domesticated as your average dairy cow?

2. The media

is owned by corporate America. They turn the fan on so people don't smell the stench.

3. They don't seem to know what attitude they want to take.

"Sore loserdom"? "Conspiracy theory"? They denigrate then wonder why there's no investigation?

16. I think that's just the author's style.

She's throws out the accusations that are used to dismiss the case for fraud, but she dismisses them by making the argument that something actually stinks.

19. That's the Toronto Star

The Star is the largest newspaper in the fifth largest city in North America. It has an extremely liberal history, but it's a cautious paper. They will not lead the charge internationally about any issue, let alone one as contentious as this.

21. good article

here's a good letter to the editor, written to the New York times

it is weird I wake about thinking about solutions to this problem and I get on line and somebody is already doing it. I love it.
