18. IMHO....
(I didn't realize there was a dupe, I wondered why so few responses to it... anyway):

:boring: I guess I should be "tickled" that the subject was even brought up on Blitzer's show, but when you just said it was... "just in passing without depth" that is a monumental understatment. I tried to view it as a completely "uninformed" viewer would, and it certainly didn't "alarm" me. Of course, with my perspective, I thought they should have been screaming to the rooftops at how dangerous the situation is and how it is THE greatest threat to democracy as we know it.

Instead, they show that "person" who is in charge of the machines in Maryland (?) saying that she thought having a paper copy was just SO unnecessary; then they had the little clip of what could have been construed as a rebuff by Bev Harris as she said, "It's just our vote". Well, taken out of context that could mean anything.

Yes, I'm glad it showed up in the mainstream media at all. Did it make a strong impression, and was the story very well done? The answer to that is still a resounding NO!
