During an appearance last week on the Allan Handelman Show<\/i><\/a> on WSJS in North Carolina<\/a> — a state, like almost every one in the union now, where non-corporatist, non-wingnut views are almost non-existent over our public airwaves — I was discussing the state Republicans’ new voter suppression law<\/a>, which is, hands-down, the most draconian in the nation since the era of Jim Crow was supposed to have ended.<\/p>\n

While a Rightwing caller, apparently, was on hold to participate in the show, I detailed the fact that the polling place Photo ID restriction part of the GOP law (just one part of their horrific anti-voting statute) would do nothing to prevent so-called “voter fraud”, since polling place impersonation is, for all intents and purposes, non-existent in this country, as this 2012 study by a non-partisan news consortium<\/a>, detailing every known and\/or reported incident of election or voter fraud in all 50 states going back to 2000, illustrated once again.<\/p>\n

Once the caller “Jay” finally made it to air, his admission was quite revealing — and even courageous — yet illustrative of just about everything that is wrong with our corporate media (and the politics it has created) these days.<\/p>\n

What he had to say is not<\/i> what you’d probably expect. Give it a listen…<\/p>\n
