All this exposes the liberal bias and censorship Twitter was practicing pre-Elon Musk, but are social media sites like Facebook and Instagram still doing this business as usual? That appears to be the case.

See, this is exactly what I have been saying, all these news channels care about is keeping their targeted viewers watching so they can make money off of selling ads. The truth does not matter to them, and it never will.

Fox News alienated a lot of Trump voters by the early call of Arizona for Biden. He eventually won by roughly 10 thousand votes with a lot of irregularities there. It’s not normal for an election analyst to call a state so quickly when the final result was decided by such a small margin. Also, they should still report what surrogates and lawyers of the opposing party have to say, right?

Yep. Huge shifts in votes in the middle of the night, but no one is supposed to investigate or even ask questions. Everything is perfectly normal. Riiight.

Let's not forget that candidates have the right to question the results of elections, and have been exercising that right for many years. However, that's not the same as asking "why didn't we get more votes?" Trump and a few other Republicans seem to be seeing the light on that all-important question and realize they need to be forward-thinking and willing to develop a new game plan for '24.

But in the end, they were right, and to the Trump worshippers how dare they defy their hero.

I know he thinks he is going to gain votes by this, because conservatives think they are the majority, but thats not the case in most of the country, so the more people vote the bigger the losses are going to be for him. The only reason he won in 2016 is because so many non conservatives voted for him because Hillary was just that bad. and as bad as Biden is, he is still no comparison to her.

My point is that calls aren’t made so early with so many outstanding votes left to be counted. They usually say it’s too close to call. A 10 thousand vote margin at the end usually has an extended too close to call label on it. So it was a quick call, unnecessarily so.

In spite of what the mainstream media and the entertainment industry tell us, liberal/progressive ideology does NOT represent the mindset of the majority of Americans - not even close, and it never has been. Trump lost to Biden - barely - because of his polarizing personality, the convenient covid pandemic, and the non-stop bashing from the media for the duration of his presidency. Ballot harvesting by the Democrats certainly was a factor, but in the final analysis too many people fell for the notion that anybody would be better than Trump. We've seen how that's worked out.

Sorry, I dont believe that conservatives are still a majority, country wide that is, there are certain areas that are dominated by conservatives.

If Trumps people want to give him a better shot, they need to keep doing what they are doing, disqualifying as many democrat voters as they can, that is the only path to victory for conservatives.

What makes you believe this? Check out the map in the link below; red designates the "certain areas that are dominated by conservatives" since 2004.

That's an often-used Democrat talking point, but is doesn't hold water. There's nothing nefarious about requiring voters to show proof of US citizenship such as a photo ID, and/or having a verified signature on their ballot. We're already required to show ID to buy beer, board a flight, or even purchase certain prescriptions at a drug store.

Now we have a new factor in the arena of fake news: AI and how it will affect what we see and hear going forward into the campaign season. We've all probably seen questionable content coming from apps like Google Bard and others, but now we have to question what we see and hear due to deepfakes imbedded in audio and video content. AI can replicate false images and voices that are almost impossible for the untrained eye to detect. It's easy to imagine unscrupulous political operatives using this technology against their opponents, and it's not hard to imagine online media like Facebook or especially TikToc letting it pass.

"Over the last few years, online scammers have honed the art of creating of deepfakes...
They can sow doubt, fear, distrust, and suspicion into our social fabrics. It seems inevitable we will eventually reach a point where it becomes impossible to identify the differences between a real video and a fake one to the naked eye."

This is a good reveal. Explains a lot that the "journalists" in the Fake News media are pratorian guards to the regime.
Look how he does the Leslie Stahl( from 60 Minutes) imitation and act dumbfounded when confronted about the Hunter Biden laptop story.
Short clip in the Twitter feed: Bump's not liking the line of questioning. Priceless.


Here is Jonathan Turley's response to Bump's dubious claims that the Washington Post stands behind. Washington Post Stands by Philip Bump’s Claims on Lafayette Park, the Hunter Biden Laptop, and Other Controversial Claims
