I guess this kind of statement should come as no surprise from  
certain operators of narrow-casting stations, 'casting to the narrow  
ultra-right fringe which did such an admirable job of losing the last  
general election.

These fools see conspiracy theories under every rock.

And there are not very many rocks in and around KPNW's site. I've  
visited it, several times.

Perhaps if the affected station paid a few more periodic inspections  
of the site and tested its auxiliary equipment at more regular  
intervals the true blame could be more properly assigned to the  
operator's engineering staff or to outdated equipment, or to both,  
and not to some Black "whipping boy" in Washington which handily  
defeated his rival last November.

And, as of today, with the confirmation of the new junior senator  
from Minnesota, the Dems now have 60 senators, thereby confirming the  
disastrous loss for the ultra-right.

Perhaps the SCOTUS will meet in emergency session and vote to  
override the decision of the Supreme Court of Minnesota, in a repeat  
of Bush 2000?
