The extent to which corporate media rigs elections for Democrats has been rigorously documented since at least Tim Groseclose’s 2012 book, “Left Turn.” In that book, the political scientist concluded through data-driven analysis that media bias on average shifts the electorate 20 points to the left on a 100-point political worldview scale. Without media bias, he argued, the average American state would be as Republican-leaning as Texas or Kentucky, and those two states would be even more conservative.
Media bias was highly visible even before Rush Limbaugh made it a regular feature of his top-rated radio show that became nationally syndicated in 1988. As the Trump era dawned, however, media coverage moved from biased to outright propaganda.
Corporate media went from picking left-friendly frames and omitting facts that reinforced right-leaning views about public affairs, as Groseclose documented in 2012, to outright mass hoaxing of voters by 2016. While hyperventilating about the minority of Americans who believe conspiracy theories like QAnon, leftist media not only inflamed but also outright fabricated conspiracy theories that the majority of Democrat voters believe.
For example, in 2020, a majority of Americans — including 81 percent of self-described “liberals” — believed the lie that Donald Trump committed treason for Russia. That claim was disproven by a two-year, Democrat-populated special counsel investigation that spent $32 million to find no evidence for this hoax, which effectively hamstrung a president from pursuing what voters put him in office to accomplish.
This corporate media smear machine was only one of the numerous unfair advantages Democrats exploited in the 2020 elections. My colleague, Mollie Hemingway, just put out a new, bestselling book that also documents things like big tech hiding election-shifting news from voters and Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg embedding Democrat get-out-the-vote operations inside local election offices — which are supposed to be nonpartisan! What’s more, all these cheats affixed into our nation’s election machinery haven’t been scrubbed away, not by a long shot.
While I work with Mollie and am highly aware of media corruption since it’s our bread and butter here at The Federalist, she still had many surprises for me inside “Rigged: How the Media, Big Tech, and the Democrats Seized Our Elections.” Here I’ll share a few things she reports in the book that made me gasp out loud.
1. The DNC Controlled All Poll Watchers for 40 Years
I had to read this section of the book two or three times to absorb what it was saying. I couldn’t believe it could possibly be true. Yet it is: “Shockingly, the 2020 contest was the first presidential election since Reagan’s first successful run in 1980 in which the Republican National Committee could play any role whatsoever in Election Day operations.”

The first thing a dictator does is to take over the media. It’s his ticket to remaining in power.

You can’t live with them. They don’t want you dead, just on THEIR life support as Tax Donkeys.
Why do you have to live under their rules?
National Divorce is the answer.
No Civil War - just Civil Separation.

"National Divorce is the answer. No Civil War - just Civil Separation."Won't work. There are too many blue spots in Red States and too many Red spots in blue states. We're way too interspersed to separate.

Agreed. My plan is to boot NY and New England. The USA would be almost the same size, have sensible borders, and would have a conservative majority that could fix the remaining blue states.

” How many points will they have to beat Democrats by to prove it?”
I think next weeks Virginia Governor’s race will give us a clue as to what it is going to take to beat the Democrats in 2022.
I seriously doubt Terry McAuliffe can be beat by less than 10 points. There is simply too much institutional Democrat bias and built in fraud.

I thought about going to the “democratic” part of town in the next election to poll watch. I wonder if I’d leave unscathed?

Any Democrat can go to a Republican majority area and not be worried about being safe. That is not true for the Republican going into some majority democrat areas. Back when we had mostly neighborhood precincts with people voting in their neighborhoods, there needed to be to Democrat and two Republicans in the positions of chief judge and deputy judge. If no member of the one of the parties signed up, then people from the other party serve in their place. This allowed old fashion kinds of cheating such as voting for people who did not show up, especially right after the polls closed.

Until they are tried, convicted, sentenced, and actually become one-time public rope testers, the Demonicrats and Enemedia will continue their efforts over the last 6 or 7 decades to destroy the United States and turn it into their own kakistocracy.

I’d most definitely have a camera on if possible and take a buddy poll watcher with me as affirmation of any miscreant behavior occurring.

We would need to boot California, too -— and maybe all of the left coast.

It wont work because the left can’t civilly separate.
They are unable to leave others alone who think and live differently from them
any FR branch covidians act the same exact way

—
The actual first thing is ban smoking, then the media, then the schools, then the local elections, then take over the voting system. Democrat score : 5 - 0. Republicans/Conservatives : 0 - 5
