Wow - they're starting, and just in time, too. Just in case The Chosen One loses, we're already seeing the, "Republicans stole the election!!" news coverage. This one is especially marvelous:

The title is what did it for me:
"Computer expert denies knowledge of '04 vote rigging in Ohio"
Seriously? Don't idiot journalists know that we're on to their rhetorical tricks yet? Here, lemme write a few headlines that, while (probably) true in fact, would "imply" a totally different story:
"Obama denies that he murders homeless people for fun."
"Biden denies stealing taxpayer money for personal uses."
"Pelosi denies that she is an active member of the Communist Party."
"Barney Frank denies receiving over $10 Million from Franklin Raines in exchange for protection from regulation."
...
Hey, mainstream media, when did you stop beating your wife?
