A bunch of reports today regarding huge spikes in Covid-19 cases, barely a mask in sight, and yet the same people who will shame others for doing casual activities and soon insist on further restrictions will say nothing about this.
No one should ever take any of the Covid commentary from these guys seriously.

People had to cancel weddings, skip funerals, leave loved ones to die alone. All while being lectured by Hayes and crew about need for such restrictions.

But election dance party? “People need this”
I mean....
A ton of media members demonstrating this hypocrisy tonight. And to preempt the defense, not only is the response of "masks" nonsense:



But it's also not true here. Just as many in the ND crowd were wearing masks as any of the street parties today.

All false.

1) There was a batch of 169K absentee ballots counted at once from Milwaukee that ran about 75-25 Biden.

2) In MI that was an input error that added a 0 and was fixed in 30 min.

3) PA rules didn't allow them to count mail-in ballots until after. Were not all Biden.
I get that people are desperate to create a narrative, but spreading blatant falsehoods to undermine trust in our institutions is harmful garbage. It won't help Trump win, but it will hurt your credibility.
This is another claim/video that went viral claiming to show someone burning ballots. It is false.

The video is actually of someone burning sample ballots: vbgov.com/news/pages/sel…

So it's time for a bit of a rant that will upset some of my followers. I have been intentionally biting my tongue until the polls close (outside a few still open), but have to be honest about what I have wanted to say.

First, to come clean on my election prediction:
Here was my intentionally cryptic tweet representing electoral votes and Senate seats:



and here was my map (I screwed up NE by mistake):
I stayed quiet until the polls were closed for one major reason: Trump was already an anchor on at-risk Senate candidates that are desperately needed to keep Dems in check and I didn’t want to add to that.

Another dishonest quote goes viral on resistance Twitter and is promoted by several members of the media. This feels like it happens daily now.

The context of this was Trump actually complaining about the Supreme Court decision to allow votes to be counted after the election.
You know it's bad when even Aaron Rupar has to point out you're misleading people about a Trump quote.
And it's the same exact people who fall for and spread this stuff every time, without any consequences.

According to Politifact, the basis for this false rating is that a board member for a company is not the company boss.
As I was saying, Dems get leeway for partisan framing...

Your initial tweet, which portrayed it as an unjustified shooting, has thousands of shares. Entire neighborhoods are being destroyed and innocent people being hurt based on that perception.

If press can't report on these incidents responsibly, they shouldn't do it at all.
The video clearly shows him chasing 2 officers with a knife and threatening them. Could they have waited for him to take another step closer?

Maybe.

Is this a clear example of misuse of force? Not based on that video.
You get the feeling that some people, including those at many press outlets, are almost rooting for violence every time one of these incidents happen at this point. That's the only explanation for how irresponsibly they frame their descriptions after them.

The coverage of the PA SCOTUS decision today makes it rather obvious that a lot of reporters have no idea how to cover court cases or what is the court's role. They always seem to imply the court ruled to promote a certain policy outcome, which is rarely what happened.
In today's case, SCOTUS rejected stay requestS from the PA GOP after the state Supreme Court ruled ballots can be received up to 3 days after the election as long as it wasn't postmarked after the election. They didn't provide an opinion/explanation.
The 4 Justices who wanted to grant the stay likely wanted to do so because the PA statute is rather clear in limiting ballots to being received by 8 PM on election day and such a change needs to come from the PA legislature, not the courts. They'd argue it's not the court's role.
