Consider Newsweek's story on Senator Ron Johnson's poll-supported claim that "Donald Trump would have won the election if the media had given more coverage to unsubstantiated allegations concerning President-elect Joe Biden's son, Hunter." The word "Unsubstantiated" is the reporter's opinion - not a certified fact.
Some journalists cannot seem to hold themselves back from reporting on Trump's supposedly "Baseless" claims of election fraud - despite eyewitness affidavits, vote count anomalies, abrogations of both the Constitution and states' election laws, and the use of Dominion voting machines and Smartmatic software that are reported to have the capacity to flip votes secretly from one candidate to another.
Recently, YouTube, announced that it was removing all videos accurately "Claiming mass fraud changed election results." Left unperturbed are masses of inaccurate material, such as that President Trump allegedly colluded with Russia, or Chinese and Iranian propaganda claiming "The US army may have brought the coronavirus disease to Wuhan."
For much of the country, the attempted coups have now been sanctified and made to seem legitimate by the election - that many feel was "Stolen" - of former Vice-President Biden.
If elections continue the same way - by legitimizing practices that sidestep Constitutional and states' laws - as they threaten to do in two run-off elections in Georgia on January 5, we will no longer have a viable republic.
The latest efforts by the media giants have been the attempt to discredit President Trump's claims of massive fraud in the election; claims backed up by Trump lawyers such as Rudy Giuliani, Jenna Ellis, Lin Wood and Sidney Powell, as well as various experts in technology.
Still to be answered, is the question: If election officials can ignore legalities with impunity, how, going forward, can there be trustworthy elections?
