Newsmax chief said in 2020 ‘we have no evidence’ election was rigged, but aired those claims anyway,

anybody with an average IQ or higher knew it was a big lie. Both then and now.

 

Queue up the defense “No rational person should take Newsmax seriously. We are entertainment.”

 

Yeah, pretty obvious to any remotely intelligent person.

 

I am less bothered by the sliver of people that are idiotic enough to believe the conspiracies and more bothered by those who are either willfully ignorant or act like Trump's lies about it are not a fatal flaw, just something to be ignored.

 

What you, and we, should be most bothered by are the litany of states legislatures that relied on these blatant lies to enact new voting laws creating (among other things) partisan discretionary boards to effect voter decisions made at the ballot box. Just look at what’s going on in Georgia today with the newly created state election board still making last minute changes nearly 4 years after the last election was declared lawful and fair by numerous means and methods.

It's only a matter of time before Newsmax and well as other right-wing media outlets end up agreeing to settlement agreements similar to Fox News's $787 million settlement with Dominion Voting Systems or end up on the wrong side of defamation lawsuits similar to the one filed against Rudy Giuliani by Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss.

I think the issue is more complex. His followers wanted to believe he won, wanted to believe the President, and wanted to believe Giuliani—the hero of 911. And so they took to distrusting credible media outlets and deep-diving through social media know-it-all pundits who said what the pay wanted to hear. Otherwise very intelligent people fell for this crap to such an extent that they stormed the Capital, believing they were doing it to SAVE democracy, not destroy it. That’s vile.

 

No one wants to talk about it or even think about since he lost anyways, but the chances Trump didn't cheat in his favor in 2020 are slim and none. He's cheated on everything in his life.

Boy the right avoided this thread like the plague.

 

New business model: Cause narcissistic injury to Trump by being involved in him losing, forcing him to lie about you which forces Fox News and the mini-Fox Newses to also lie about you, then profit.

 

The threads they avoid are very telling. As are the ones they spam
