NBC, as I recall, is owned by General Electric, and I am not aware of
their politics. That would be because they live in a foreign country
from me and I pay little attention to corporate shenanigans.
However, I have observed that large corporations like GE tend to
hedge their bets.

Elected (if one concludes that) by the system which is promulgated in
the laws of the US. Systems can be made to do things that are
inconsistent with the intent of the laws.

In fact, the decision to recognize his ascendancy to the presidency
was the result of a decision made by the Supreme Court which was
mostly if not exclusively populated by Reagan and Bush appointments.
The actual count of ballots was terminated before a conclusion could
be reached that would be deleterious to Bush's claim. That it is
within the pervue of the judiciary to make such decisions seems to
indicate a venal side to appointments to the bench that makes the
whole matter unsavoury when one is told to expect objectivity in
these matters and that democracies of a freemasonic nature are based
on full and unstinting respect for the will of the people. I guess
that was the first victim of Bush's War on Reason.

What I suspect is that the Republicans wanted one of theirs to be
president so badly after Clinton that they were willing to lie, cheat
and defraud for it. The Democrats on the other hand were unwilling
to participate in a mockery of the whole electoral system, so they
backed down. That has been touted by neocons as a weakness of the
Democrats which convinces me that it may well their strength.

Prove me wrong, Pan. Don't just claim it, don't parrot others. Find
the evidence and put it before me that this is not true. I dare you.
