An interesting little tin foil "coincidence" in the Iraqi election...

[rooboy]

I have noticed that a number of media outlets are saying the final percentage of voters settled at 57%. Coincidentally, I started a thread very early in the day that quoted a Fox news guy in Iraq saying that the turnout was estimated to be about 57%.

How did he know at 10 o'clock in the morning?

4. We have to start thinking of Fox as Pravda --

Pravda in the old days, I mean. Then it doesn't seem like much of a coincidence: Fox is just doing its job. That is, disseminating disinformation to keep the masses calm and happy and in loooove with the *resident.

It's shocking that a media outlet in my country would have become that - I still can't get over it. Fox's bald bias/water-carrying offends me every time.

5. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

Nice catch. Not that we didn't know it was fixed, but it's nice to have proof.

What's that Republican saying I kept reading here a while back ... something like "what's important is who COUNTS the votes".

11. Yes, I'm not saying your were "late" in guessing.

Six hours into the election, you posted 57%. Looks like that may be the final figure after days of tallying.

Isn't it amazing how the number came out so early? I guess they all got the same memo.
