….the bigger (no, the BIGGEST) revelation that’s being kept of the (press) table is how the 2000/2004 elections were rigged. RIGGED.

These goons in Ohio were kind of a lynchpin in a national plan to keep the GOP as the majority party in both houses and the Executive Branch. Ney, however, got greedy, and worse, got caught.

The fallout wouldn’t be so dire if Ney and some of his staff weren’t *directly* involved in voter fraud. The (rightful) fear of other GOP ops is that Ney or his staff will bargain with prosecutors…give up a “big fish” to escape jail-time and a felony conviction. The “Big Fish” they have is Ney himself, and a small cadre of friends entrenched with Deibold, PNAC and The Rendon Group.

The neocons are spending a LOT of resources (mostly in the attention of tri-nomed women: Katherine Johnson Fent, Alexa Maldive-Sethstein, etc) to keep editors/reporters busy with other stuff.

For instance, a common “astroturf” method is to tie up a paper’s editors with pitch meetings, etc…ANYTHING to get them out of Ohio. They’re taking advantage of the deregulated media markets, too. One of the fallouts of consolidation was that many smaller papers have had production budgets sliced so the parent-companies could make shareholder expectations. Hence, editors are falling for “easy” stories…one’s whos narratives are pre-laid and “mad-lib” style: Fallen Sports hero narratives write themselves.

Political reporting has become dangerous work - physically, emotionally, and of course, economically dangerous, too. The DOJ has put reporters on notice that it will invoke near-century old sedition laws to punish reporters who print unfavorable stories. Talkradio shit-jocks and pug-faced trollops (Malkin) are giddily “outing” reporters they don’t like.

Anyhoo, this is just a commment here. I should GMOFB. :)
