There are no Republicans in Congress besides Mitt Romney congratulating Biden and Harris because the *entire Republican Party does not believe the democratic process is legitimate* and that is the story. You're getting bogged down in bullshit process if you think otherwise.
“Trump taps X for legal effort” is a bullshit headline. There is no legal effort. There is no tapping for a real job. There is only Not Recognizing The Results Of An Election — and every single Republican is guilty of that and getting away with not being called out for it
Please god almighty jesus carmichael christ do not make me do another four-part mini-series podcast about this very simple thing you all should be acknowledging every day ***objectively***
the daniel dales have gotten me and I should have added Murkowski and two or three house reps who have less name recognition than the cast of the umbrella academy to the post-it-note-length list of republicans who have bravely mumbled "yes joe biden won the election"

Bullshit. An entire segment about Fox fueling Trump's election conspiracy theories without mentioning that @CNN was the *ONLY NEWS CHANNEL IN AMERICA* that aired Trump's voter fraud lies Thursday night
Every other news channel cut away. @brianstelter will never acknowledge this
Stubborn unwillingness to criticize your employer's bad decisions is the strongest block to the news media learning from systemic mistakes and improving. They love to criticize other outlets but never their own in meaningful ways. We all know Fox is bad. Move on to the real stuff
@oliverdarcy was on too and has more sense than Stelter does but still didn’t mention it. There’s something disgusting about the culture and environment at mainstream news outlets that prohibits criticism of something so obviously bad that every other network didn’t do it
The very first sentence just begging for that final White House christmas party invite
We’ve interviewed Larry Kudlow who lied about coronavirus for seven months and never wore a mask to tell us the president, who is undermining democracy, “intends to fight”
Is it possible that nobody ever watched hardball and therefore there is no way to empirically prove anyone ever hosted it and therefore it's equally plausible in all universes that I am the actual host of a show that does not exist
Sincere apologies to @JoyAnnReid if this guy shows up at your studio tonight excited about his segment
Hannity on fire from the very start. Talking about the great country known as the US of A. But heads up sports fans — you should be worried. Wanna know why? Well,
Here’s the thing about Pennsylvania. You can’t trust them. The state is made up of garbage cans full of Trump ballots. That little election you had? Rigged. The mailmen? Some of em, not even men. And dead people? Oh they be voting. How you ask? Well,
When you die your soul enters a “transmutated state” right? It’s neither alive nor dead—the body has rested eternally but the spirit lingers on a ghostly plane. And in Pennsylvania that plane has been stacked with polling places installed by the democrats. How’d they do it? Well,
Trump just said this all out loud. And the news media broadcast it as if it's just part of the democratic process. This is so deeply and soggily fucked up. If you work in a newsroom, over the next 24 hours, please speak up. I will venmo you. What do u want
A micro-nightmare I have inside my Big Nightmare is Trump’s lawyers muddy the Steal The Election plan with briefs, lawsuits, legal claims, jargony stuff—new confusing words and other bullshit that journalists will default into covering as “the campaign says…"
If you work in journalism, please please please god when he makes this lie, the biggest lie of his presidency, *do not repeat it* and PLEASE if you absolutely have to, say Trump Falsely Claims Victory
