Flashback: Before the 2nd presidential debate, NBC’s @HallieJackson tried to prep viewers that Trump might bring up Hunter’s laptop, which she claimed “has the hallmarks of a foreign interference campaign”
@HallieJackson Oct. 21: MSNBC guest Dave @Aronberg spreads conspiracy theory the @nypost Hunter Biden exposé “looks like it’s connected to Vladimir Putin Moscow”
@HallieJackson@aronberg@nypost@SRuhle@JoeNBC Oct. 19: @JoeNBC doubles down on his theory the NY Post story is "made up." Referencing an odd NYT story about the reporters behind the exposé, Scarborough says, without evidence, the stories are "such a lie!”
I initially presumed the Texas suit would be nonsense. Then I read it & it actually makes a compelling case. The Constitution specifies state legislatures govern the process of picking electors — yet in these states, courts or state officials usurped this power
MSNBC/CNN spending this morning attacking the Texas suit as “frivolous”; I’ve yet to hear anyone actually explain the argument; they just mock it, as if that’s helpful to their viewers.
Am increasingly of the belief the media's handling of the election results is deeply irresponsible. If the last four years should have taught them anything, it's that the smart move is waiting for facts before offering projections. /1
Almost as soon as Trump entered office, the media suggested his election was illegitimate, supposedly coming thanks to Russian help. /2
Three years of breathless, nonstop coverage later, we learned the entire premise was not only wrong, but the opposite: It was Hillary working with Russia in hopes of sacking her competitor. /3
