Fox news (and other media) moulds public perceptions, with no regard for truth.

Everyone knew both sides were in on the game back when bush or obama were president - somehow they all seem to have forgotten.

An unexpected comment on Saidit.

Yep - FOX, Sinclair, and other news media and social media gave so much attention to "stop the steal", without challenging the accuracy of it - that 51% of the people who are willing to answer a poll (I certainly don't answer them) were brainwashed into thinking that a portion of Biden's 8 extra million votes were sufficient in the specific districts that voted a bit more for him than for Trump. Anyone thinking about how mathematically complicated this would have been will know it's too much trouble to bother with and that other strategies are more effective. It's much easier to repeat to a poll what was implied by some of the news media. Almost every old person likely to answer that poll were also likely to watch their local Sinclair-owned news media, which filled their heads daily with right-wing propaganda.

I think many are upset about the mail in ballot because uninformed voters who usually don't bother to vote because they don't know anything about politics and economics just asked their friend : who do you vote for? And then voted without knowing what they voted for. Which isn't cheating, but it certainly reinforce the strengh of propaganda in pushing one candidate above the other from the media.

As for me, I'm canadian so it affect me differently. Biden is good for the stock market. I think he's awful for the american people, but for foreign investors like me, he's great. Even in Canada we have more strict elections (everyone need voter ID) and we don't use machine to count votes.
