Note: The best reporting by far in the mainstream media of the 2004 election was by MSNBC's news anchor Keith Olbermann. Both on TV and on his blog, Mr. Olbermann asked the tough questions. He even asked why other major media weren't reporting
many of these crucial stories. His most excellent blog gave continual
updates of developments in the elections scandals. Here are a few key
quotes from three of the entries there:
Nov. 7, 6:55 p.m:
Officials in Warren County, Ohio, "locked down" its administration
building to prevent anybody from observing the vote count there....Emergency
Services Director Frank Young explained that he had been advised by the
federal government to implement the measures for the sake of Homeland
Security. The majority of the media has yet to touch the other
stories of Ohio or huge margins for Bush in Florida counties in which
registered Democrats outnumber registered Republicans 2-1.
Nov. 9, 12:55 a.m:
...the remarkable results out of Cuyahoga County, Ohio. In 29
precincts there, the County's website shows, we had the most unexpected
results in years: more votes than voters. I'll repeat that: more votes than
voters. 93,000 more votes than voters. [more on this below]
November 10, 12:43 p.m: The
computerized balloting in North Carolina is so thoroughly messed up that all
state-wide voting may be thrown out and a second election day
scheduled.
Dec. 2, 8:13 p.m.: We are
not only busting our humps on the voting irregularities beat, but we remain
the only mainstream news organization to continue to cover this
vital story.
