Journalists have an obligation to the public to stop putting conspiracy theorists on their news shows. Any Republican who denies that Biden won the election should immediately be cut off and the interview ended. If you can’t acknowledge this fact, you’re a liar. It’s very simple.
The journalism industry should not keep rewarding Republicans who are attacking the democratic process by giving them airtime and allowing their conspiracy theories to spread. This is the wildest and most irresponsible trend in journalism since 2016. Stop the spread.
It is malpractice that this interview has lasted this long. Anybody involved in booking and producing this horrendous spray of misinformation should call their old journalism professors and tell them they did a shit job of training them
Journalists believe their role is to sit there and let Republicans spread these conspiracy theories as if it’s just a regular old policy position like whether to raise the debt ceiling

Every Republican supports this attempt to overthrow the democratically elected Biden administration unless they say otherwise. The default shouldn't be we don't know their position if they're "silent." When the president wants to overturn the election, silence is active support
It's been 20 days since Biden won the election. The Republican Party, as its official position, refuses to acknowledge him as president-elect. The press has moved on because the story hasn't changed enough for them, when in fact every day the GOP does this should be another alarm
That every newspaper isn’t putting the names and faces of their state’s Republican senators and representatives on the front page every day with the headline “Republicans Support Trump’s Attempt To Overturn Election” speaks to how good Republicans are at working the press

Journalism must change today

The GOP, including @SenKevinCramer, refuses to say Biden won. This conspiracy theorist is invited on Meet the Press

The first question @chucktodd must ask is “will you acknowledge Biden won?” If he doesn’t say yes, end the interview. Stop the spread
If Cramer can’t even say that — a plain fact integral to our democracy — what is the justification for continuing the interview? You’ve identified that he’s acting in bad faith. You can’t reward bad actors with free airtime to spread their conspiracy theories
And no it’s not “coming close” that Cramer has said “it looks like Biden will win.” He won. It’s over. It was over two weeks ago. Anything other than acknowledging this is supporting Trump’s disinformation campaign—the news media should not be helping to spread this dangerous lie

Joe Biden won the election three days ago and the Republican Party still refuses to acknowledge him as president-elect

Why is the press treating this like it's waiting to see how GOP senators will vote on a bill

There is not "another side" to the election being legitimate
There are no “election questions”
There are no “voter fraud claims”
There are no “legal battles”
There are no “allegations of irregularities”

There is only bad-faith Republicans weaponizing the media’s fear of openly saying what’s happening and they fall for it every time
The election is real. It happened. If a Republican refuses to acknowledge it you have a journalistic responsibility to blacklist that liar from appearing in your stories or on your news show. If they’re willing to lie about this, they will lie about anything. Why is this hard

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***
