This kind of mistake is beyond serious. There's zero accountability in major corporate media anymore, yet they continually insist they're the ones holding the line on the truth. And always remember what should scare you about the media is what *doesn't get exposed." pic.twitter.com/ceBaApCZQ8

The Georgia call stuff was all made up. Great.

It’s really hard to believe that something so egregious could have actually happened at one of the so-called national newspapers. However, when it came to Trump, any lie was ok as long as it took him down. Frankly he was too effective at keeping us out of wars and inside of our borders.

I wish the reporter could be compelled to reveal their “source”. A gross falsehood for purely political purposes. And likely someone on the public payroll.

Exactly. Trump was too good at keeping us out of wars and cutting back on overseas adventures…
“I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times." It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I

Glen Greenwald addressed the WaPo malfeasance in his column yesterday. Very powerful.

I wonder if Stanford grad Rachel Maddow is ever even slightly embarrassed over her falsehoods?
She has no problem calling out Trump on his falsehoods, of which there are many. But I don’t recall any pre-2020 election retractions by any of the media or Mr. Brennan over their own falsehoods about Trump. And the fact that a journalist with both the background and leaning of Glenn Greenwald publishes this story is borderline unbelievable.
The fact remains that, had it not been for the coronavirus, in all likelihood, Trump would still be President.

You think the Chinese were smart enough to design and execute a plan to influence the election?

The Washington Post screwed up by using supposed direct quotes based on memory of someone instead of a summary. So, yes, Trump didn’t say “find the fraud”. But I’ve got a bridge to sell you if you don’t think that’s essentially what he was asking. The guy wasn’t calling just to shoot the breeze.
The real story still remains that it was wildly inappropriate and possibly illegal for a President to be calling election officials and trying to get them to change votes. There is audio of him calling Raffensperger and asking him to find 11,780 votes.
NO MALARKEY

Publishing an editorial as factual reporting? Your reading of intent in a “summary”? So much for your career on the faculty at a school of journalism.

Sadly, that is journalism today. . . .

Rachel Maddow’s only embarrassment is that she doesn’t have a penis.

I think the Chinese, Russians, Iranians, Panamanians and Pomeranians (and all other countries and dog species) all designed and executed plans to affect the 2020 American Presidential election. Everyone wanted a piece and they have for many years. In fact, I was in a London hotel room during the 2008 U.S. Presidential election, and the BBC interviewed a (future) Karen in the City of London who opined on the 2008 American Presidential Election that “the problem with the American Presidential Election is that it is too consequential to be left solely up to Americans.” Looooooove that quote, almost as much as I love the fact that tons and tons of worldly American Elites feel basically the same way.
But that’s what’s behind the desire of countries to influence leadership votes in other countries, and Lord knows, we have had an outsized impact on the elections in other countries.
The question, to me, is not whether other countries designed and executed plans to affect the outcome of ourPresidential election. It’s whether they’re successful. Our naivete is striking in that we take such (hypocritical) offense at their efforts, though their interest in who becomes our President should be abundantly clear.
