Houston Media: Mouthpiece of the Left
Big Journalism ^ | Oct 28th 2010 at 9:21 am | Catherine Engelbrecht

Posted on 10/28/2010 1:28:55 PM PDT by a fool in paradise

What happens when a group of everyday citizens does their part to alert the authorities to potential vote fraud?  Apparently, Democrat drone media is unleashed to crush the effort.  Check out this Houston, Texas ABC affiliate, Channel 13 News, report claiming leaders of King Street Patriots “may serve jail time,” quoting the Democrat Party as their source:

King Street Patriots is the organization that launched True the Vote, an initiative to encourage citizens to help improve elections by reviewing voter rolls and volunteering to work at the polls.  Their honest intentions were met with coordinated lawsuits and an ethics complaint filing by Soros funded Leftist groups Texans Together and Texans for Public Justice as well as the Texas Democrat Party.   The ABC/Channel 13 report is only the most recent example of the mindless media coverage of King Street’s efforts, including ambush interviews of poll watchers inside of polling places. (Note: in Texas, it is illegal for the press to be inside polling places. Wonder if the reporter “may serve jail time”?  We’re betting not.)  ABC/Channel 13 has apparently become a mouthpiece for the Soros funded organizations, fact checking nothing, and relying on the Democrat party as their singular source.  Pathetic.  Change the channel.

This would be the same Houston media that assures us that the mayor’s office in Houston is a non-partisan office except whenever a Republican dares enter the race.

Channel 13 has a long history of being rewarded by the Houston political machine.

The MSM is encouraging voter fraud by a demonstrated willingness to ignore or cover it up. The shift away from covering the war and ignoring open corruption is breath taking.

Everyone should know that Houston is the Chicago of the South.

It is run by the uber rich Dum Lawyers, Medical Cartel, and a mixture of Islamist, Illegals protectors, and the media shill like Shiela Jackson Lee and QX. NBBPs, are imbeded.
With SEIU running a close 2nd.

And Elmer FUDD White ended any chance to clean up this city.

Boycott ABC in Houston and complain to every major advertiser. Patriots have to stand up for each other when the corrupt seek to negate their votes by letting illegals and felons vote.

I've lived in this Craphole on the Bayou for over 40 yrs now...the local media (and a sorry lot they are for the 4th largest city in the US) has always worshipped everything liberal or gay or minority or just plain weird.

They will never be burdened with the facts in any event.

And soon Houston will have an abortion tower, the biggest in the world.

There was a big Democrat voter-registration fraud earlier this year that was referred to the DA who wouldn't comment and not a peep about it from the Comical or locals news that I saw.

I wrote the Comical about it and got an email back that the story was 2 weeks old. I asked for a link to their story on it and never got another email back.

Anchors Dave Ward and Gina Gaston made the "aggressive, intimidating poll watchers" "may be headed to jail" comments.

Yeah, these poll watchers looked real intimidating on your own report footage...not.

Meanwhile I haven’t seen any updates on the possible arson attack on Harris County’s ballot boxes (requiring the county to borrow boxes from elsewhere in Texas so that this election could be carried off).

Yes and when the demonstrations occured, the local media acted like the Pro-Life people were terrrorists. I say PROVE it. Calling groups such as the P-L protestors terrorists is worthy of a giant lawsuit. But that would not happen in Houston.

You know, Fox (until I turned it off) was running a snippet(oh that pesky editing)of the Paul incident. They don’t bother to show the end where this Soros funded attacker came running around the SUV to try to attack Paul a second time.
This is how the leftist get by with thier sick agenda.
The media..all of the media is in collusion.

An election cycle or two a few years ago, Europe clamored for the right to vote in US presidential elections. Why? Because they wanted to turn us into serfs, to loot this country. That’s what globalization, the UN, and Third world supporters is all about. Thank you, Obama, George Soros, CFR, and Marxists everywhere. Thanks, Ninth circuit court of appeals.

I lived in Houston for 35 years. Moved to the hill country 4 years ago. Bill White's politics had much to do with it. He was a financial disaster for the city. Then the media calls him a fiscal conservative in the governor's race. The Houston Chronicle is a mouthpiece for the Democrat party.

Mayor Parker (a conserv DEM) has even critisized the the White admin handling of Houston Gov. He borrowed money from the PENSION funds to pay for his hairbrained schemes.

He just continued the BROWN mess, with his dumba** grin. I can’t stand him.

Cathy Engelbrecht is a Houston businesswoman who founded the King Street Patriots.

They're a grassroots Tea Party organization.

I spoke to them in their Hempstead Highway office just this evening. They're the real deal, training up poll watchers in groups of about 80-100.
