Media Malpractice: Karl Rove's Nov. 1 Fraud Subpoena Not News?
By Gustav Wynn
OpEdNews
Last Sunday October 24th, Karl Rove was served with a subpoena alleging he is "the principal perpetrator in an Ohio racketeering conspiracy". The subpoena was approved by outgoing Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, and described illicit coordination with the head of the US Chamber of Commerce Tom Donahue in funnelling an "influx of billionaire/global corporate money where the actual source of the funding and speech is concealed."
If this subpoena is bogus, a witch hunt, partisan gamesmanship, sour grapes, past history, or a baseless attack on Karl Rove, the media should say so. But not reporting it either way suggests "selective reality" or a coordinated blackout on unprecedented allegations.
Eyewitnesses have claimed CBS and CNN both had cameras rolling when Rove was slapped with the subpoena, yet neither news agency has reported the event, even to debunk it's merits or simply show Rove's reaction.
A hearing has been scheduled for 9am on Monday, November 1 in Columbus seeking to compel Rove and the Chamber of Commerce to broad discovery that, according to lead attorney Cliff Arnebeck, could result in indictments for racketeering, money laundering and conspiracy.
