Media suppress the news that Bush lost election to Gore

By Charles Laurence in Washington

The most detailed analysis yet of the contested Florida votes from last year's
presidential election - with the potential to question President George Bush's
legitimacy - is being withheld by the news organisations that commissioned
it.

Results of the inspection of more than 170,000 votes rejected as unreadable
in the hanging chad chaos of last November's vote count were ready at the
end of August.

The study was commissioned early this year by a consortium including The
Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post and The New York Times and the
broadcaster CNN. The cost was more than $A2million.

Now, however, spokesmen for the consortium say that they decided to
postpone the story of the analysis by the National Opinion Research Centre
at the University of Chicago for lack of resources and lack of interest in the
face of the enormous story after the September11 attacks.

Newspapers were saying last week that the final phase of the analysis,
counting the 170,000 votes, had been postponed.

Our belief is that the priorities of the country have changed, and our priorities
have changed, said Steven Goldstein, vice-president of corporate
communications at Dow Jones, owner of The Wall Street Journal.

Catherine Mathis, a spokeswoman for The New York Times, said: The
consortium agreed that because of the war, because of our lack of
resources, we were postponing the vote-count investigation. But this is not
final. The intention is to go forward.

However David Podvin, an investigative journalist who runs an independent
Web page, Make Them Accountable, said he had been tipped off that the
consortium was covering up the results.

He refused to disclose his source other than to describe him as a former
media executive whom he knew as an accurate conduit of information and
who claimed that the consortium is deliberately hiding the results of its
recount because [former Democrat vice-president Al] Gore was the
indisputable winner.

He also claims that a New York Times journalist involved in the recount
project had told a former companion that the Gore victory margin was big
enough to create major trouble for the Bush presidency if this ever gets out.

The goosiness, the sensitivity, that the press which organised this analysis
is now showing to publishing the results and the persistence of questions
about the Florida ballots raise questions, said Dr John Mason, a professor
of political science at William Paterson University, in New Jersey.

There is a sensitivity over the legitimacy of this president.

National Opinion Research Centre staff have been puzzled by the idea that
the media would lack the resources because, they said, they had computer
programs already designed and fitted for the final count.
