Maria Bartiromo not pushing back at all as Sidney Powell alleges (without proof) that "they were flipping votes in the computer system or adding votes that did not exist. ... They had this all planned, Maria. They had the paper ballots waiting to be inserted, if and when needed."

"Sidney, these are incredible charges that you are making this morning," Bartiromo says. "We of course will be following this, and we thank you for joining me today. Please come back soon."

Can't stress how big this is - Jedediah Billa on Fox: "To come out and say that there is voter fraud ... to make a statement about an election being stolen or an election being rigged, that can be a dangerous statement. That can really rile people up. I haven't seen any evidence"

She also defended the work of the Fox Decision Desk, even as several of her colleagues on Fox have said the desk called Arizona improperly and criticized the decision.

This is classified as a news show on Fox. There's just no evidence that anyone on Fox is breaking with Trump in any way.

As I was saying, this is what flashed on Fox after they announced that Joe Biden has taken the lead in Georgia

At a Hollywood Radio & TV Society luncheon, MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell says of media coverage of Trump: "In some sense, it's been the easiest administration theyve ever had to cover, because the outrages have been so extraordinary and endless and multiplying on top of each other"

Lawrence O'Donnell says that journalists who cover Trump haven't had to have a mastery of policy or anything like that because they can just ask Trump "who are you going to pardon today?" or "why aren't you taking hyroxychloroquine?"

After four years of covering the Trump admin, Lawrence O'Donnell says that "the Washington press is deeply out of shape. It's like a baseball player who hasn't played in 4 years."
