Sit,

Your example is extreme but still, do you think people are so stupid they can't figure it out for themselves and need to be dumbed down?

The internet is an environment where the most obscure viewpoint held by a small group of people can get equal time and appear right along more legitimate views.

People can read and decide for themselves.

The recent ruling by the Supreme Court overturning a long standing rule about single ownership of local radio, tv and newspaper shows that times are changing. One owner may own all 3 because most people are getting the news online anyway.

Frankly, much like newspapers, Lester Holt represents a dying breed of journalism.

Lamp,

Sit gave the example of Holocaust deniers.

Where else but the internet would you even hear about them?

My point is that Lester Holt's comment might apply to 30 min segments retelling yesterday's news on television, but it can't be applied to the internet regardless how hard liberals try to control information.

For example, liberal media is calling any opposition to mail-in ballots voter suppression.

That is subjective and not a "truth".

It might be true that more people vote if they don't have to leave the house but no one is blocking them from going to the polls to vote in person.

It's not voter suppression.

It's voter laziness unless they are simply incapable of getting out so they should probably apply for an absentee ballot.

All I'm going to say is Lester Holt's comment only shows me the rapidly increasing irrelevance of tv news broadcasting.

Thankfully we have multiple news sources on the internet to read different viewpoints.

Angry,

"Holocaust deniers have been in the news ever sense I was old enough to start paying attention in the 60s."

So have people who believe Hitler is alive, or Kennedy or Elvis.

What's your point?

Snoofy,

Holt lives in a world of 30 minute news segments.

He doesn't even really cover very much "news" anyway.

The more I think about it, the less his comment deserves any response.

Snoofy,

Walter Cronkite was back in the day when tv and newspapers were the main sources of news.

You're trolling now.

Ignoring you.

Bored,

"Engineering long lineups in areas that vote against your party is election fraud."

Early voting will go a long way toward helping with the line problem.

Everyone voting on one day is a monumental task.

Anything millions of people do on one day is going to have problems.

Early voting is a terrific solution but there needs to be federal guidelines put out exactly which Saturdays and hours all states will be required to open.

You just watch.

Mail-in ballots will die the "death of a thousand cuts".

There is no voter suppression in early voting.

Only voter accountability.

Lamp,

"The problem is that those problems are intentional and intended to inhibit the vote"

Another problem with mail-in ballots is the "intentional" manipulation that will assuridly occur in many family units where one person votes for the group either by completing everyone's ballots or pressuring family members. Anonymity and privacy will be impossible for some people who might would prefer to vote in person.

Do you not think everyone should be able to vote for themselves or are in denial this senerio played out in a great many homes this election?

Lamp,

There is no perfect system.

Early voting with federally mandated poll requirements solves a lot of those problems.

If a locality isn't getting enough allocated resources then it needs addressed.

Mail-in ballots creates an opportunity for corruption and errors that used as a primary source of voting is too great for such an important event.

Danni,

Once again, the great Danisksi knows what I REALLY mean.

Unlike your politicians you adore I say what I mean.

Danni,

I work in information systems for a living.

Would you mail $1000 to your bank in an envelope?

Of course not.

Votes are no less important than cash.

Danni,

If as you say mail-in ballots benefit one party over another, that sounds to me reason enough to disallow it.

You say suppression, I say unfair advantage.

Laura,

"I wonder how much 200 mail-in ballots are worth on the open market."

Not sure....

Dollar here...dollar there...isn't worth much.

All added up is worth more.

How about the number of seats in a large civic center?

Lets say....11,780.

Laura,

Don't read it then.

Leave it to a liberal to put the onus for your not reading my posts on me.

Also leave it to a liberal to think you speak for everyone when you said "we".

Laura,

Unless "we" is your pronoun of choice.

If so I do apologize.
