I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of freedoms of the people by gradual and silent encroachment of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations. (attributed)

The "Air Enronization" of the MSM Continues

A report was released last month that has an "Air Enron" chance of showing up in the mainstream media. (And indeed, as of this writing, the report does not appear in a Google News, NY Times, Washington Post or AP online search)

The American Center for Voting Rights (ACVR), an alleged non-partisan organization that "neither supports nor endorses any political party or candidate," released a report in July 2005 called Vote Fraud, Intimidation & Suppression In The 2004 Presidential Election.

Their press release summarizes,

ACVR Legislative Fund further found that, despite their heated rhetoric, paid Democrat operatives were far more involved in voter intimidation and suppression activities than were their Republican counterparts during the 2004 presidential election. Whether it was slashing tires on GOP get-out-the-vote vans in Milwaukee or court orders stopping the DNC from intimidating Republican volunteers in Florida, the evidence presented in this report shows that paid Democrat operatives were responsible for using the same tactics in 2004 that they routinely accuse Republicans of engaging in.

After all of the MSM attention to alleged Republican voter intimidation and fraud, one would expect to see this reported in the interest of balance. Surely this lack of attention is because this American Center for Voting Rights organization is a fringe group run by GOP-sponsored cronies motivated by partisan agendums, right?

Nope.

ACVR Board Chairman, Brian A. Lunde worked for Jimmy Carter and served as Executive Director of the Democratic National Committee (DNC).

The "Air Enronization" of the mainstream media is becoming a bigger story than the news that they ostensibly cover.

All the news that's fit to print, right?

Pardon My English breaks it down.

Voter fraud might be one of the most damaging things that's possible for a democracy to go through, however if it is any consolation it used to be much, much worse at the turn of the century.
