It happened one week after SCOTUS cleared out several similar cases and the morning after Donald Trump repeated the “stolen” election lie to his loyal followers at CPAC.
I stopped right there.
It sickens me to see them call it “the lie”. I guess the supremes are useless/compromised. What recourse is left? I’ve read the military but I don’t see it if they let it go this far. So then, the results stand and every election after this will be the same because once you let them get away with it, they’ll do it every time if there are no consequences. The republic is doa. Welcome to the USSA. Socialism or worse.
I find it disgraceful that all sorts of previously reputable publications are using this language. Hardly anything is being run through that old thing called a courthouse, so isn’t it still an open question whether there was fraud?
But no, everything has to be described as “untrue,” “false,” etc.
That is not reporting. That is attempting to create accepted history out of whole cloth. It must always be “false allegations.” Playing judge, jury, and if they had been able to, prison guard.
If they described a crime without the word “alleged,” they would soon have a line of lawyers at their door. But for the president, no such concern.
