STEVE BANNON IS DISRUPTING DEMOCRACY. THIS IS HOW
CNN.com ^ | 7-24-22 | Kunzia ,Ortega, Ash

As a single mom with a full-time job, Wendy Ahrenkiel had little time for politics. But after the 2020 election, when Joe Biden was declared President, she felt cheated — and found the time.

Ahrenkiel, 47, has heard the arguments in the mainstream media about how claims of a stolen election in 2020 are unsupported by credible evidence. But she still doesn’t buy it.

“I thought that there's a lot of funny things that went on with the election,” she told CNN. “That made me just do my own research.”

That research led her to talk politics with friends — many of them moms like her — who clued her in to a show called “War Room,” hosted by a man with whom she was only vaguely familiar: Stephen K. Bannon.

Bannon doesn’t just touch on the election canard, he pounds it with a sledgehammer day after day on “War Room” — a program that reaches audiences online and on air.

This is an in depth hit piece but it demonstrates why most of us here like Bannon as likely Trumps loudest supporter. It also uses same talking points Trump detractors and Bannon haters here use John Malone is in charge of CNN and politically would fit in here and has been public he’d like to take CNN back to early 80s style more news and less left wing editorializing 24/7 He likely sees FAUX has slipped with new Murdoch and Paul Ryan at the helm For disclosure I’m a Bannon fanboy and listen to war-room daily when possible For education and discussion it’s lengthy CNN hates Bannon and vice versa

Democracy requires a certain amount of disruption in order to function.

Yes- but manufactured russian collusion allegations with a two year federal investigation and a false whistleblower who heard one end of a phone call which led to impeachment hearings is par for the course- for democraps and their mouthpieces in the media of course.

Stealing an election as blatantly as the Democrats did followed by an extensive, conspiracy cover up disrupts democracy.

*yawn* It has become so tiresome to hear the socialist scum left prattle on about “democracy”.

I really hold the media accountable and do not blame the rats for any of this. We know what they are and what they do as does the media. The media is our oversight of government and are supposed to hold those in government accountable, regardless of party affiliation or ideology. Instead they have become a tool of government, choosing sides which only benefit the politicians whose agendas they support.

“A free and independent press has been theorized to be a key mechanism of a functioning, healthy democracy.[9] In the absence of censorship, journalism exists as a watchdog of private and government action, providing information to maintain an informed citizenry of voters.[9] In this perspective, “government efforts to influence published or broadcasted news content, either via media control or by inducing self-censorship, represent a threat to the access of important and necessary information to the public and affect the quality of democracy”.[10] An independent press “serves to increase political knowledge, participation and voter turnout”,[9] acting as an essential driver of civic participation. - Wikipedia

As citizens, we need to hold the media accountable.

Bannon provides a great distraction for both sides. And of course he loves the attention. Meanwhile nothing gets done.

So questioning an election in which state election laws were broken and FIVE STATES stopped counting in the middle of the night (not even one state has ever done that before) with Trump winning and came back the next day with Biden winning is bad for “democracy?”

But Hillary Clinton can claim year after year that the 2016 election was stolen from her by RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA is perfectly safe for “democracy?”

And Algore continuing to claim to this day that the 2020 election was stolen from him is perfectly safe for “democracy.”

Looks like you want it both ways, Sweetie.

What would three screwball libs, Kunzia, Ortega and Ash (Sounds like an old Route 66 side of the road tourist trap) know about “democrazy”?

Yes, truth disseminated is a disruption of what they considered Democracy to be. A one party system, where you must agree with the one party.

Enjoy your parties. I’m more concerned with getting substantive things done.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court has ruled. The legislature in Arizona has the results. The stuff in Georgia goes on.

The democrats are still trying to sell a clean election, even though states violated their own election laws.

Not clean. Not democracy. The democrats did it, with the help
Of the establishment Republicans, and more than 1/2 of the nation knows it.
