U.S. ELECTION – High Lights and News Feeds

Font size: Decrease font Enlarge font

US ElectionU.S. Election 2012 will be an interesting media circus to watch. Already during the 2011 straw polls the mainstream corporate media managed to “forget” mentioning the second place winner, Ron Paul (and in some states even first place winner..), by only writing about 1′st and third place winners.

That type of coverage is possible only in countries where the media is exceedingly corrupt and is an amazing theatre to watch. Entertainment of the most exciting type. Unfortunately it seem like many voters still aren’t aware of how they’re getting deceived by forged news reports. For the moment the Internet alternative media still isn’t completely censored (let’s see how long that will last…)

Let’s hope for a big awakening during the crucial 2012 US election. Read this article about how Ron Paul was ignored by most corporate controlled news media outlets during the straw polls where he was a clear second.

About the feeds on this page: Below we intercept, chronologically, some of the worlds election on-goings. Both from regular media and the bloggers point of view (scroll down). During these very crucial times where information could be tightly integrated with media propaganda all angles and views are important.

Please notice that some of the feeds coming in are about elections elsewhere. This is because the search terms aren’t precise enough to catch exclusively news about the U.S.
