Witness says voting company tampered with machines after vote and tried to plant false information into Ohio recount

By -
David Cobb, the unsuccessful Green Party presidential candidate, aired startling allegations at the Democratic House Judiciary Committee’s Columbus hearings Monday, alleging that a voting company representative tampered with voting equipment in an unspecified county last Friday and attempted to plant false information into the Ohio recount.


Cobb says that a witness who had requested anonymity watched a representative of Triad Systems enter a local Board of Elections unannounced and tamper with a vote tabulator which then lost all data.

The representative then, Cobb said, tried to convince employees to post false information so that it would appear as if the data was valid and had never been lost.

The dems should have been looking for this kind of hanky panky all along.

Why are none of the mainstream news outlets covering anomalies in the 2004 election? Maybe because media owners benefit from not questioning the election. With bush holding court, Big Fat Media gets fatter by keeping michael powell who gives away whatever is left of the public good in media regulation to the owners. According to the Center for Public Integrity, Big Media lobbied much more than Big Oil in the last few years. And that is seriously interesting because Big Fat Media also pockets the most in media advertising from funds all the campaigns raise. Big Fat Media turns around and puts a chunk of the profits they rake from the elections into lobbying. What Big Fat Media Wants, Big Fat Media gets from this government. When everything’s going Big Fat Media’s way, why change anything? Millionaire pundits aren’t hurting, and their votes were counted. Why should they care about the votes of working people, particularly black voters, whose votes weren’t counted? Michael Powell is golden to millionaire pundits and their well-fed bosses. What’s their motive to change the status quo?

Gallup: 50% of Americans Now Say Bush Deliberately Misled Them on WMDs

By -
Are Americans finally getting wise? There are no WMDs in Iraq, nor have there ever been any WMDs in Iraq. We were lied to about Iraq. We are being lied to about Social Security. Basically, we are lied to every time Bush opens his mouth. It is a tragedy that we had to elect him in order to wake up to how much Bush lies. The "axis of evil" IS the Bush Administration. ... But I digress. Half of all Americans, exactly 50%, now say the Bush administration deliberately misled Americans about whether Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, the Gallup Organization reported this morning. "This is the highest percentage that Gallup has found on this measure since the question was first asked in late May 2003," the pollsters observed. "At that time, 31% said the administration deliberately misled Americans. This sentiment has gradually increased over time, to 39% in July 2003, 43% in January/February 2004, and 47% in October 2004." ... Last week Gallup reported that 5...

Lone Activist Group Submits 99.8% of all Complaints to the FCC

By -
According to a new FCC estimate nearly all indecency complaints in 2003—99.8 percent—were filed by the Parents Television Council, an activist group. This year, the trend has continued, and perhaps intensified. Through early October, 99.9 percent of indecency complaints—aside from those concerning the Janet Jackson “wardrobe malfunction” — were brought by the PTC, according to the FCC analysis dated Oct. 1. (The agency last week estimated it had received 1,068,767 complaints about broadcast indecency so far this year; the Super Bowl broadcast accounted for over 540,000, according to commissioners’ statements.) The prominent role played by the PTC has raised concerns among critics of the FCC’s crackdown on indecency. “It means that really a tiny minority with a very focused political agenda is trying to censor American television and radio,” said Jonathan Rintels, president and executive director of the Center for Creative Voices in Media, an artists’ advocacy group.

Scientists offered cash to dispute climate study

By -
Bush, Big Oil at it again. Always at it. This time it is just a little more blatant. Here's to the worst planet money can buy. From the story: Scientists and economists have been offered $10,000 each by a lobby group funded by one of the world's largest oil companies to undermine a major climate change report due to be published today. Letters sent by the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), an ExxonMobil-funded thinktank with close links to the Bush administration, offered the payments for articles that emphasise the shortcomings of a report from the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
