Media becomes a threat to democracy by refusing to question disputed election returns

 Jack Hellner:

On Thursday, President Trump's legal team presented many pieces of information about the election that deserve to be investigated.

But the media have no interest in that.

Instead, they essentially black out the news and ask Trump to concede so they can crown their chosen king.  Worst of all, they continue to falsely claim there is no evidence of fraud.

The New York Times and others have written about the potential fraud on universal mail-in ballots in the past, as have other outlets, but now they call Trump a liar.

The media outlets know that rules were changed to make verification of mail-in ballots less verifiable, but they don't care.

They know that observation of the counting has been essentially blocked in some towns in violation of the law, and they don't care.

They know that election officials in some states are violating laws, but laws aren't important as long as the media's chosen one is ahead.

Statistically, it is rare for the up-ballot candidate, the president, to significantly underperform the down-ballot candidates, but the media don't care.

Coattails without a coat?  Tell us exactly how that could happen.

They know, or should know, that Biden outperformed Hillary in only four cities: Milwaukee, Detroit, Atlanta, and Philadelphia, not the nation as a whole.  They also know about over-votes in cities — that is, more votes than registered voters — and once again, they don't care.

They know there have been questions about Dominion, the software provider in many states, because they certainly had those questions before.

They know that Democrat senators Elizabeth Warren, Ron Wyden, and Amy Klobuchar had significant questions about Dominion in December 2019, but they don't care.  Can anyone imagine how loud the senators and journalists would be about potential fraud by Dominion if Biden were behind?  But what we have now is silence from the senators and the supposed journalists.

They know that several swing states mysteriously stopped counting votes on Election Night, but they don't care.  As a CPA with 43 years of experience, the only reason I can think they stopped counting is to cook the books, commit fraud, and change the vote.

... 

All of these unanswered questions lead to one of the legitimacy of the outcome that will hang over Biden if they are not resolved.  The media may not want to deal with it but Biden should.
