"Sure they lost the San Francisco mayoral runoff on Tuesday (it wasn't even close). But while the Greens may not have perfected the art of winning elections, they're pretty deft at helping Democrats lose them."
I took these two sentences from the blurb on a story on Nader's consideration to run for President in 2004, posted in the Politics section of CNN Online. Yes, folks, the fine objective media at work. Let's not only lie about the SF mayoral runoff results... the actual results were Gavin Newsom (Dem) 123,832 over Matt Gonzales (Green) 110,795. That's right 13,000 votes or about 5 percent. And this is what some online newshack at CNN calls not even close... and then we'll indict Nader and the Greens for costing Democrats elections, even if the one said election was lost due to Supreme Court interference and all-out voter fraud. CNN, the most trusted name in news. Riiiiight.
