Trump claiming the election was stolen is a “false narrative” according to NYT, which continues to embarrass itself by refusing to Trump lies “lies,” even ones directed at sabotaging free, fair elections; nytimes.com/2020/11/09/us/…

nobody
is
stopping
him

it’s been a week and the entire GOP hasn’t found 5 questionable ballots in whole country

what a charade
seriously! who exactly is trying to stop Trump from filing these joke lawsuits?

nobody cares bc the courts keeping laughing them out
i'm not dismissing the seriousness of GOP's predictable, anti-democratic response to election loss.

i'm saying GOP needs to be confronted over rhetoric that invisible forces are trying to stop GOP from counting votes etc.

show us the evidence of fraud.

BREAKING: the NYT thinks the NYT did an amazing job covering Trump's 4 yrs; nytimes.com/2020/11/08/bus…
i've honestly never seen a news org publish such breathless praise for an employee before under the guise of "news"
embarrassing beyond belief.

but it's the NYT and the NYT can do no wrong according to everyone who works at the NYT

1. quick thread on why Trump's dishonest attempt to stop voting isn't working the way W. Bush's dishonest attempt did in Florida
2. Trump's trying to stop vote counting, Bush tried to stop a *recount.*

it's virtually impossible to find a judge anywhere in America would who order votes not be counted on the first pass through.
3. Trump is targeting many states, Bush focused on just one and had one message.

in some states today Trump want's voting to stop, in others he wants it sped up.

it's messaging mess

simple. accurate.

why can’t see this *regularly* in US commentary
“this is not American democracy as people normally see it”
it's all become so normalized for the American press.

and frankly, that's what they preferred

i realize they can't mention it each time, but really wish TV reports re: PA would emphasize the reason vote counting taking so long is because ***GOP legislatures refused Dem request to allow early votes to be counted as they came in.***
the delay **is by design**
seems like Journalism 101
