ARIZONA RECOUNT
Gotta love it.
Here’s the headline from the web site of the local CBS affiliate, AZFamily.com
“Arizona auditors backtrack, say no election data destroyed”

Issue #1
The auditors never said that election data was “destroyed.” They said data files had been deleted.
They stated yesterday that they had been able to recover the deleted files, but they never backtracked from their original statement.
Issue #2
We have local reporters here in Phoenix, but this article, with the highly misleading headline, is from an AP pool reporter.
Isn’t this an issue of significant importance that you would invest in some local investigative reporting?
Realize that for the vast majority of the ill informed public these types of “news bites” are all they will ever know as they go about their lives trusting that “someone else” has their back.
This is why we are where we are.
