Yesterday's New Hampshire primary elections were rigged. This I know at 10:30 a.m. because eight of the top nine stories on Reddit - vetted and voted upon by legions of actual Reddit readers - either explicitly or by implication tell me the elections were rigged.
Figure it must be true. We're talking wisdom of the crowds here.
Yet there are zero similar stories on the front page of Digg. Not even on Digg's special page for election coverage. Fark? Had to dig inside to find a headline that pretty much dismissed the talk.
There are no such stories prominently featured on Mixx either, although they're relatively new to the game over there and can be forgiven for their tardiness.
But The Drudge Report lives and breathes for such stories, yet there appears to be nothing about the rigged primaries on its front page. Best they can muster is "New Hampshire's Polling Fiasco." Tsk, tsk.
Google News, Yahoo News, The New York Times and CNN are all bereft of this momentous story on their front pages, too, but at least this is understandable given their all-but-certain complicity in the crimes.
