New year, same old #disinfo. The election wasn’t stolen. Anyone that tells you otherwise, including the President and the objectors, are lying to you. Many are angry he didn’t win, but that’s on the campaign & these claims are harmful to our democracy. There will be a reckoning.

AUDIO: 53m07s: 7 Aug: Brookings Institution: Podcast: Ben Collins and Brandy Zadrozny explain QAnon
BEN COLLINS and Brandy Zadrozny are NBC News reporters focusing on mis- and disinformation in health and politics. Here, they speak with Lawfare’s Quinta Jurecic and Evelyn Douek about QAnon, a far-right conspiracy theory built around anonymous internet posts heralding Donald Trump as the righteous leader of a struggle against a cabal of “deep state” elites running an extensive child sex trafficking operation. They discussed how social media platforms have allowed QAnon to spread and how its ability to plug into other conspiracy theories, permeate the mainstream, and incite offline violence have made it particularly pernicious.

there are only two types of people in the FakeNewsMSM.
one, those who know Trump won the election.
two, those who pretend Biden won.

the rest of the articles - a lengthy list - look just as un-readable.
What’s funny is so many of the same writers who now say Trump’s challenge to election fraud is a “threat to democracy” were the SAME ones who four years ago backed Jill Stein’s lawsuits and Hillary claim she really won, and then helped concoct a story—out of whole cloth—about how the Russians won the election for Trump and he conspired with them to do so.
Apparently the folks at NBC news know how to investigate innocent people without even looking at the evidence.
