I cannot accept that MSM is doing its best to make this a "normal" election. The GOP presumed nominee

is not only a convicted felon (unprecedented), but a coup plotter who damn near succeeded (unprecedented), had it not been for incredibly brave interns carrying those electoral votes in mahogany chests through the tunnels to uphold our Republic. Were it not for Capitol Police fighting 10,000 kool-aid sucking RIOTERS, and were it not for Mike Pence who upheld his Constitutionally sworn duty, while being threatened to be hanged (not sure he knew that, but plenty of GOP were running for their lives while Orange Julius watched on the big screen. By himself.

He was impeached twice. Unprecedented.

The number of States finally getting around to prosecuting the fake elector schemes. We need to see way more of that. And the litany of losses (for the Loser) in contesting 2020 results. I believe 60 cases were brought and all dismissed. Unprecedented to my knowledge.

I am convinced MSM is guilty of normalizing insanity and a mob boss who controls the House (and probably way more) then has ever been imagined. There is nothing normal about any of that. Total dereliction of duty.

PS. I do exclude Rachel, Joy, Chris, Ari, Ali, Lawrence, Jonathan, Connie, the Weekend hosts (all), and I even respect Morning Joe. Don't always agree, but Mika sorta keeps him from falling off a cliff. The both siderisms on other networks is too much for my BS meter. Keeps pegging in red.

Love DU.

Couldn’t get over Gore’s sighs or his relation to the internet.

Endlessly propagated Kerry’s swift boating.

Investigated Obama’s origins as if that was a legitimate story.

And of course her deplorable emails.

They gleefully, repeatedly promote his lies, then quietly, nonchalantly say oh I do have to note that some of Mr trump's statements were incorrect.

Sometimes they'll actually say lies or at least he "has a problem with the truth" -- but they say this after blaring his lies. If you know they're lies, why give them prominent airtime?

How many times did he get to spout lies about the trial? Based on nothing or next to nothing? He repeated the same garbage every day, and they chose to put him on the air every day. Reruns aren't news!

They all prove it each minute, hour, day.

Nothing, nothing else matters.
