Finally, NY Times came out for the truth! While the phone lines are busy for many of the Adam dialers, Arkansas is power-texting with free phones. Power text can get up to 20K+ votes in 4 hour window. That'd a huge difference in votes! What injustice! --------------------

WE DID IT!!!!!!!!!! The squeaky wheel gets the grease!!!!!!
 I am so proud of Adam's fans for standing up and making themselves heard and I am so proud of the NY Times for being brave enough to do its job and seek the truth!!!!!! This is what reporting should be about!!!! I'm so happy right now I don't know whether to laugh or cry!!!!! --------------------

Is the NY Times a big press thing? I am from the UK and wouldn't know how good this is.

It's dodgy for AT&T to give out free phones and instruct people on how to power text. A corporate sponsor shouldn't insert itself into the process that way.

QUOTE(Little Bee @ May 26th 2009, 8:12 PM)  Is the NY Times a big press thing? I am from the UK and wouldn't know how good this is. It's only the most popular newspaper in NYC, which happens to be the largest city in the US. So yeah, I'd say it's pretty big.

I posted this on the AI Adam Lambert forum, but it disappeared.
I am SO happy the NYT had the balls to print the truth. Thanks for bringing us this article.  --------------------
Adam likes the top...let's keep him there.

Thanks for answering my rather 'dim' question. I can see the importance of this now and am pleased that they have got the balls to run a story like this.
Good for them, and good for all of us and other Adam fans for letting our thoughts on this matter be know. Lastly good on Arkansas Democrat Gazette for making this easier for us all to report and be listened to.

NY Times is the 3rd most circulated newspaper in the country (1st is USA Today, 2nd is Wall Street Journal), so yeah I'd say it's not lacking
I'm curious though, is this just an online story or was it in the print edition?--------------------

You couldnt ask for a more respected news outlet to expose an untruth. Bravo to NYT. You guys email the author and thank him.
I can only pray that a class action suit is next. --------------------
