Afghan elections

Do you realize that while the Washington Post and New York Times have been assuring their readers that the Afghan elections was honest and fair, young people in Afghanistan have been mocking the elections and posting pictures and documents showing the extent to which the election was rigged and irregularities were widespread?  Also, do you remember that in the last presidential election both papers reported that that it was an honest election before they reversed their accounts weeks later when observers testified about the irregularities?  You will not learn about the world if you only read English and if you only read US newspaper.  You would be ill-served, trust me.
