A Look into Rhetoric and Bias in 2020 Election Reporting

This article came out from the Washington Post today:
A top GOP prosecutor said Trump lost. Running for Senate, he has a new message

I saw it posted this morning, by Carewemust, in our ongoing election integrity thread: www.abovetopsecret.com...

It should be no surprise that millions of American citizens have ongoing questions and concerns about the 2020 Presidential election, as well as the integrity of our elections in general. With all the issues in the 2020 election that were discovered and reported, very little has been done by officials to call attention to any wide-scale election fraud or manipulation, while the media has driven the narrative that there was no wide-scale wrongdoing, and on the contrary, our elections have never been more secure. Of course, that's with the exception of this article by Time, time.com..., it's behind a paywall, but since I'm going to be reviewing a WaPo article, you can read about the Time article here: www.washingtontimes.com...

Of the many developments into the 2020 election, what is currently happening with regards to the Maricopa county election audit and the investigation that came from it, are of particular interest. The audit showed a list of issues from chain of custody violations, to records manipulation and destruction and or the withholding of subpoenaed information, to poor quality ballot paper and misaligned printers being used. As far as I know, subpoenaed information is still being withheld by the Maricopa county Board of Supervisors. The ballot paper "kinematic artifact detection" reports have mostly been withheld from the public and are a part of the ongoing investigation. The investigation is being ran by Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich.

Now that we are brought up to speed, let's have a look at rhetoric and bias from the media and our government based on this single article. We will start with the government side of this, since the first two sentences of this article come from AG Brnovich.

As false claims of a stolen election took root in 2020, Arizona’s attorney general — a Republican — spoke out on national television. Donald Trump was projected to lose the swing state, he said on Nov. 11, and “no facts” suggested that would change.

So as the state's lead investigator, back on November 11, 2020, well before any audits or investigations, AG Brnovich was calling claims of a stolen election "false". He's an investigator, not a public relations specialist. He is supposed to investigate the many claims that came across his desk, not dismiss them and try to convince the public that there is nothing to see here, that is not appropriate. Furthermore, he points to "projections" as being evidence of no wrong-doing. We do not elect our officials based on projections, we hold elections for reasons and those elections should be secure from fraud and manipulation while also being open to audits and questioning. Arizonan's, I don't think you want this guy in your Senate if he is not going to do his job as an AG. Think about that.

This month Mark Brnovich called into a far-right podcast with a different message: His investigation into the vote was turning up “serious concerns.”

“It’s frustrating for all of us, because I think we all know what happened in 2020,” the attorney general told the host, former Trump adviser Stephen K. Bannon, without explaining what he meant. The podcast titled the segment “AZ AG On Interim Report On Stealing The 2020 Election.”

Do we all know what happened in the 2020 election? Because I thought that was what the ongoing investigation was about. What a strange thing to say, especially when the country is completely polarized on this subject, and certainly when you are the lead investigator into the "serious concerns" about the election you stated.

Many GOP candidates have embraced the former president’s false election claims while seeking a coveted endorsement in their 2022 primary races. But Brnovich, now running for Senate, stands out for his shift over the past year and a half. His Senate campaign has highlighted his ongoing review of the 2020 vote, launched last year in response to a widely-ridiculed audit commissioned by state GOP lawmakers.

WaPo embraces the idea that Trump made "false election claims" and calls the audit commission "widely-ridiculed."
I would say that 2020 election has been widely ridiculed, and rightfully so, as we are still able to get information through the walls of the gatekeeping media and government cover-ups, and people are still able to act on this information. Although there is a mountain of resistance towards finding and revealing the truth, we the people are still making progress and rightfully so, because we are the ultimate check and balance on government.

Critics say Brnovich has caved to conspiracy theorists for political gain in the Republican primary. Calculated choices to keep fanning Trump’s grievances mean more misinformed voters, more distractions for election workers and more questions about who will stick up for democracy in the future, said Tammy Patrick, a former elections official in Arizona’s biggest battleground, Maricopa County.

So WaPo cites "critics" as those would, in my opinion, defame the following people as conspiracy theorists:
Those that question the 2020 election results, procedures, late night counting stops, late night vote spikes, equipment vulnerabilities, possible deepstate involvement, possible foreign involvement, definite private special interest (the Zuckbucks) involvement, ect.
Those that just want their elections fully audited
Those that were told that they already voted
Those that saw and reported strange happenings
Those that have questions and serious concerns about what the audits have found (this includes AG Brnovich)
Staci Burke, the women who found bags of shredded ballots, that we no longer hear anything about
The election official that saw hundreds of photocopied ballots during a Georgia recount.
The people who saw multiple duplicate ballot images within Georgia's records.
Those that are aware of the data that the 2,000 Mules people are in possession of
Those that have seen some of the results from the Maricopa county ballot paper audit
Those that expect their elected offices to do their jobs and not break the law
Those that can't trust their government or media, because trust must be earned and maintained
Ect.

“If no one is held responsible for lying … or undermining confidence based on their own greed and, you know, desire for power to either be elected or be reelected — if no one is held accountable for those actions, then we are in real trouble right now,” said Patrick, who now works with the nonpartisan group Democracy Fund.

I wonder if Patrick from the Democracy Fund is confusing questioning election integrity, with undermining election confidence based on greed. There needs to be a distinction, because voters, and those running for office, deserve confidence in their elections, and this should be based on them being transparent. Would he agree that those involved in large scale election tampering should also be investigated and be held accountable?

This is just pure bias and gross ignorance.

The five-month spectacle — which election experts called deeply flawed — affirmed Biden’s win in Maricopa County but also provided new fuel for baseless theories.

Finally, I'll leave you with this conflicting statement:

In a campaign email this week, Brnovich said his office found nearly a fifth of early ballots in Maricopa County were “transported outside the chain of custody”; in fact, his report found missing information on paperwork but offered no evidence that ballots left the proper hands. On Bannon’s podcast, he claimed the county uses artificial intelligence to verify ballot signatures; in fact, every signature is verified by election staff.

Which is it? Were the signatures verified by AI or staff? As lead investigator into gross election irregularities, Brnovich should know right?

Jovan Hutton Pulitzer is claiming that around 10% of all of the ballots from the Maricopa election, were manipulated by either humans or AI, but I don't fully understand what that means. That would be around 200,000 ballots in a race that was won by around 20,000. Although in my opinion, Biden may have needed almost all of those 200,000 votes in order to win with little to no campaigning. After all, he did say something about having an election fraud team on his side.

The MSM doesn't cover Trump rallies for good reason; 'a picture paints a thousand words'. The attendance at his rallies, even today, is jaw-dropping.

I've noticed how so many Republican politicians who worked against Trump his whole term, and turned their backs on him to side with liberals after the election now want to take advantage of his popularity to win votes.

All I can say is 2016-2020 showed who the RINO's are and that enough people are paying attention not to elect or reelect any of them to another term. If the GOP gets many more RHINO's we'll be a one party system until the end of days.

Signature "verification" setting on LOW

Mail ballots out of area

Too many counterfeits

Hard to get evidence when it's covered up as part of a planned rigging

etc etc

My biggest problem with election fraud and Republicans goes something like this.

When they win, the election was fair, when they lose, it was voter fraud.

As ridiculous as it sounds, that's what most of them actually believe.

I've got to hand it to you, the level of projection you can achieve is staggering.

That could be said of any dishonest person in any party.

That's why it's so important to not only have safeguards in place in the form of election laws and practices, but to also be able to fully audit any election. Honest people should not be afraid of the truth, no matter their party affiliation. It's really that simple.

You seem to have that reversed actually.

You're forgetting three pertinent details to this particular election that are unique from all other elections. Mass mail in voting, Dominion interface technology which is really just Diebold by a different name (google it, they're almost as disgraced as the Pfizer company) and nation wide midnight tallying behind closed doors after everyone was supposed to close shop and go home. Most peculiar.

The fact that "RINO" is an actual, widely used term indicates clearly that there is already a Uni-Party.

It's been that way for decades now; really showing it's true colors around Bush Sr.'s term and from there it's been a coordinated march towards their self enrichment schemes and subjugation plans of the citizenry.

The mid-terms this November are not going to surprise a lot of people. Not because their side may not win, but because ultimately NOTHING much is going to change as far as the current trajectory of this country and quite frankly, the world.

Trump most certainly got the most votes. He was cheated.

That said, I believe he was schooled by Jesuits, if I remember correctly. I do remember him as President being counseled by a couple of Jesuit priests. It the picture, what stood out to me was the cross one of the priests was wearing. There was a being on the cross that had wings. That's not Christ. That is Lucifer. Christ does not have wings.

which bull dropped that on the barn floor?



when dems lose it's voter suppression.

The 2020 "election" was "rigged" and a "theft". .. No two ways, about it. (Both, are "illegal"). If we are actually had/have, a "law".
It is very simple math and very "basic logic". Poll numbers after the fact?... "8 million" people/votes "to win"?.... Less than 30% "approval" now?

"They're" just really stupid, or they know/believe,...you're stupid and "educated"! .. Which most, probably are.

What we think we have/had,... is/will be, stolen right from under our noses! (Already has). .. Because it will be "illegal" to do anything about it, (or at least "uncivilized") ...We "pay taxes" for other people to, "defend our freedom"! If you don't pay? ...
It's a good "legal" blackmail. The "servants" now control the master.

They are/have, the "warriors"! You are not. Government/The King,.. knows what is best for you.

"You will own nothing and be happy". ... You have no idea, what "promise", you're missing if you don't agree...

It's Communism! Pure and simple.

The U.S.A. is officially, a "Banana Republic" now. The 2020 "election" removed all doubt.

"Sir, what do we have"? ..."A Republic. If you can keep it". .. - B. Franklin.

I remember hearing something vague about that. That's worth investigating further. Need a decent image of that. Did any one ever check that further?

The MSM was certainly using the father of lies as their collective source after the bogus ballots came in chanting "baseless claims" in the midst of lots of video evidence of voter fraud in the extreme.

I did a quick search but didnt see it. I may have it in my pictures on ATS but I have no access to those for several days now. I saw the picture when Trump was first elected. Trump was seated at a desk, and both priests were on his left, standing (our right) It is probably somewhere on line. I dont remember anyone else noticed the cross. I sure saw it! It was an Angel on the cross. No doubt a fallen one.
