- the_third_wave 4y agoMaybe he is referring to the video evidence showing suitcases with ballots being removed from under a table which seemed to be counted without the presence of watchers? I do seem to remember that video doing the rounds, this happened in Georgia if I'm not mistaken. The videos are probably still available somewhere. As an outsider I don't have that much skin in the game when it comes to elections in the USA - not 'no skin' since we here in Europe are exposed in many ways to the rise and fall of the USA as a major economical and military power. I do get the impression that the media in the USA are extremely partisan and mostly seem to side with the DNC position. Especially the major news publishers - whether they be publishing in print like the NYT and WaPo or via cable and 'net like CNN and MSNBC - seem to act like they are the communications division of the DNC instead of independent publishers. The recent departure of the Whitehouse press secretary to one of those networks only serves to underline this all-too-close relationship. This makes it hard to talk about 'fair' elections given that a sizeable percentage of the population depend on these outlets for their information. Partisan media is not a problem limited to the USA but it is exacerbated by what is in effect a two-party system which has split the media market into a "Democrat" and "Republican" side with the former seemingly being dominant.
