Corporate Profits vs Civil Rights,
and the Vote

To those of us on the inside of
this issue, it seems inconceivable that our local newspapers would offer
a front page story on election fraud in Ukraine while ignoring stories
of the same right here at home in the United States. Every day, since
November 2nd, 2004, stories have emerged detailing such things as
malfunctioning voting machines, fraudulent election records in Volusia,
Florida, inconsistent numbers of voter registrations vs. vote totals in
Ohio, credible university studies showing serious statistical
impossibilities in election results, and much more. Yet, these daily
revelations have been almost completely ignored by our media. These
reports are coming not from persons with tin foil hats as is often
claimed, but from PhD level citizens, election officials, and voting
rights activists.
But to the rest of America, who
get their information from corporate owned media sources, there is
nothing missing from the daily news. That's because, if they don't
report it, it didn't happen. For most of
America, we trust our local papers to report
honestly and fairly. But what many of us don't realize is that our local
newspapers are not so local after all.
