Is this why we are seeing reports that the LSM including Fox are giving zero attention to this story?

During Fox News Sunday, they covered the election but used it to again pontificate on the demise of the Tea Party. Not a word about the fraud problems, probably out of deference to Karl Rove who is their big establishment Republican and probably had a behind the scenes role in the shenanigans.

Yep, I think you nailed it.

In almost all other circumstances, the media would be falling all over themselves with endless news stories of GOP FRAUD! GOP FRAUD! That would be total catnip to them. Just having those two words together, to hammer with, over and over.

But in this case, it would show off the sleaze and fraud of the “establishment class” and their beltway buds. Nope, can’t have that! So, this very, very major political scandal gets deliberately ignored and deliberately underplayed.

I hope McDaniel pulls this off then. We have too many lunatics in Congress as it is.

It is because the Uniparty is “united” in their disdain for anyone associated with the TEA party aka anyone who detests the unipartys monopoly on our political system.

The announcement was that Senator Thad Cochran was calling a press conference today. Apparently senator Cochran is no longer capable of speaking for himself, is he being held captive? Why was austin barbour holding the press conference? There was nothing new, apparently it was held to again denigrate Senator McDaniel, Senator McDaniel’s campaign and Conservatives for having the audacity to oppose the republican establishment and the barbours. It turned into a fiasco as has everything else Austin has done during this campaign. Apparently senator cochran is no longer capable of speaking for himself, is he being held captive?

Stuffing ballot box’s gets no respect these days..
Probably because of the virus’s in the voteing machines....
Changing votes to be democrat.. or Rino in republican primarys..

Buying votes is just so “tacky”..

Thad is too low life for the MSM to bother with.

It would be like denigrating a family member.

“I cannot explain why the MSM isn’t jumping all over this “Republican vote-buying scandal”.... or maybe it is because the guy is really a Dem?”

Because there is a MUCH BIGGER PRIZE - the destruction of the Tea Party, which then means Amnesty, and then the destruction of the Republican Party completely.

The end-game is what they’re after, and Cockran is doing EXACTLY what they need him to do.

In today’s world, practicing journalism during the Obama and/or a democratic administration could cost you your job. (Atkinson) Unless, of course, it is a republican or a Tea Partier.

Which leads me to the conclusion that Thad is a closet Dem.
