Democracy and a “free press” in action: no mention of today's election
So much for democracy and a free press. Today, November 6, is an election day, and yet there is nothing on the Examiner.com's home page to remind readers that “Today is Election Day - vote!”
Nothing.
I have to conclude that the Examiner doesn't want people to vote.
Oh, but they do have a top-of-page feature about a man in a bathtub with rattlesnakes. GOOD JOB, Examiner!
American soldiers are getting killed in a misguided attempt to prop up a failing democracy in Iraq. The least we can do is vote.
Democracy: use it or lose it.
