This is why Republicans and the Right-wing hate the media

Proof positive, folks, of why the Republicans and Right-wing hate the media, first, but also call it the "Liberal" and "Left-wing" media (well, besides the fact that they keep reminding us of those pesky poor people in the world, of course).  This article out today on Yahoo! News and written by and for the Associated Press:


Across country, GOP pushes photo ID at the polls


RALEIGH, N.C. – Empowered by last year's elections, Republican leaders in about half the states are pushing to require voters to show photo ID at the polls despite little evidence of fraud and already-substantial punishments for those who vote illegally.
See that?  Right up there, above?  That part where the author wrote "despite little evidence of fraud and already-substantial punishments for those who vote illegally."?  
That's what they hate.
Is it true?
Sure it is.
Is it documentable?
Again, yes, absolutely, and it has been proven in state after state, all across the country.
Will that stop the Republican leadership from pushing this "shrink the voting electorate" agenda of theirs?
Certainly not.
And in the meantime, they want--prefer--that the media just kindly please shut up and stop reporting this stuff, even if it is true and patently, provably true, at that.
It's that nasty, Left-wing, clearly Liberal media that hurts this country.
All that information and truth and data and statistics.
Liberal, left-wing, progressive, inclusive haters.
