Lol!!! So let me get this right. You believe Trump and other far-right propaganda agencies?
Does this describe you? Do the sites you frequent still espouse the "discredited by everyone else in the world" theory of a stolen election?
Than you just might be a redneck.

Ffs, Chicken would have to sticky this thread. In your particular case, CNN’s quoting of a mysterious another source or anonymous source yet they NEVER cite their sources because they don’t have any it’s complete BS. My 8th grader has to cite her references in a book report yet Don Lemon isn’t held to any journalistic standards. He regurgitates whatever comes out of his lover’s arse or even more vile something straight from the DNC.

There are serious questions about the election that should be investigated since a lot of credible people came forward and signed a statement to that effect. Most likely there was but we will never know. But that is irrelevant to this conversation. You was going after someone for getting news off far right sites and posting it here and basically calling them out and being critical for it. But you say you believe CNN and the media. These people have no credibility left. They couldn’t suck off the Dem party any harder than what they do. If these people had a reporter that watched me get out of the shower and reported my arse was white. I would have to pull my pants down and look again just to make sure. Didn’t matter if I was in the middle of town when I finally heard about the story. That’s how little credibility they have. So unless you are a total hypocrite then don’t go after people about picking and choosing where they get stuff from to post on this site and others because the news media in this country has long been dead and gone and is nothing more than propaganda artists.

I've addressed this repeatedly...there is no credible evidence of massive election fraud, and there is little to no belief among republican lawmakers in particular of a stolen election.

Republican senator Ben Sasse says he'll take no part in Trump-backed plan to object to Electoral College vote and says in private 'not one' GOP member believes election was 'fraudulent'
'When we talk in private, I haven't heard a single Congressional Republican allege that the election results were fraudulent - not one,' Sasse wrote in a long Facebook post Wednesday night. 'Instead, I hear them talk about their worries about how they will "look" to President Trump's most ardent supporters.'
quote:
Sasse, who's been one of the few Republican Trump critics on Capitol Hill, laid out the Trump campaign's court cases in each state and then explained why some reported instances of fraud or disparities would not flip the results.
'I started with the courts for a reason. From where I sit, the single-most telling fact is that there a giant gulf between what President Trump and his allies say in public – for example, on social media, or at press conferences outside Philadelphia landscaping companies and adult bookstores – and what President Trump’s lawyers actually say in courts of law,' Sasse wrote.
Sasse points out that while there's no legal penalty for misleading the public, there is one for deceiving judges.
'[T]he president’s lawyers know that – and thus they have repeated almost none of the claims of grand voter fraud that the campaign spokespeople are screaming at their most zealous supporters,' Sasse said.
'So, here’s the heart of this whole thing: this isn’t really a legal strategy – it’s a fundraising strategy,' he added.

An Analysis of Trump Supporters Has Identified 5 Key Traits
A new report sheds light on the psychological basis for Trump's support.
The lightning-fast ascent and political invincibility of Donald Trump has left many experts baffled and wondering, “How did we get here?” Any accurate and sufficient answer to that question must not only focus on Trump himself, but also on his uniquely loyal supporters.
Given their extreme devotion and unwavering admiration for their highly unpredictable and often inflammatory leader, some have turned to the field of psychology for scientific explanations based on precise quantitative data and established theoretical frameworks.
1. Authoritarianism
Authoritarianism refers to the advocacy or enforcement of strict obedience to authority at the expense of personal freedom, and is commonly associated with a lack of concern for the opinions or needs of others. Authoritarian personality syndrome—a well-studied and globally-prevalent condition—is a state of mind that is characterized by belief in total and complete obedience to one’s authority. Those with the syndrome often display aggression toward outgroup members, submissiveness to authority, resistance to new experiences, and a rigid hierarchical view of society. The syndrome is often triggered by fear, making it easy for leaders who exaggerate threat or fear monger to gain their allegiance.
2. Social dominance orientation
Social dominance orientation (SDO)—which is distinct but related to authoritarian personality syndrome—refers to people who have a preference for the societal hierarchy of groups, specifically with a structure in which the high-status groups have dominance over the low-status ones. Those with SDO are typically dominant, tough-minded, and driven by self-interest.
3. Prejudice
It would be grossly unfair and inaccurate to say that every one of Trump’s supporters have prejudice against ethnic and religious minorities, but it would be equally inaccurate to say that some do not. It is a well-known fact that the Republican party, going at least as far back to Richard Nixon’s “southern strategy,” used strategies that appealed to bigotry, such as by delivering speeches with “dog whistles”—code words that signaled prejudice toward minorities that were designed to be heard by racists but no one else.
4. Intergroup contact
Intergroup contact refers to contact with members of groups that are outside one’s own, which has been experimentally shown to reduce prejudice. As such, it’s important to note that there is growing evidence that Trump’s white supporters have experienced significantly less contact with minorities than other Americans. For example, a 2016 study found that “…the racial and ethnic isolation of Whites at the zip-code level is one of the strongest predictors of Trump support.” This correlation persisted while controlling for dozens of other variables.
5. Relative deprivation
Relative deprivation refers to the experience of being deprived of something to which one believes they are entitled. It is the discontent felt when one compares their position in life to others who they feel are equal or inferior but have unfairly had more success than them.
Common explanations for Trump’s popularity among non-bigoted voters involve economics. There is no doubt that some Trump supporters are simply angry that American jobs are being lost to Mexico and China, which is certainly understandable, although these loyalists often ignore the fact that some of these careers may be lost due to the accelerating pace of automation.

Good point.
Because the fact that it was stolen might be more truth than they can handle.

One example...CNN and other news agencies, in this country and around the world...all report that there is no evidence of a "stolen election".
The far right doesn't like that. The moreso because they know it's true.

in 2016, a steep decline in Republicans' trust in the media led to the lowest reading on record (32%).
Republicans' trust has not recovered since then, while Democrats' has risen sharply. In fact, Democrats' trust over the past four years has been among the highest Gallup has measured for any party in the past two decades
Democrats belief that MSM gives them correct information has risen sharply since 2016.

I've linked evidence that there wasn't "massive election fraud.". Show me a single court case that proves there was.

If almost all media sources are doing OMB 24/7 365 you will see the exact results as the Gallup poll you cited.

Or they could be telling the truth, or a man who's been documented as a liar for decades is lying yet again.
I think the latter is far more likely.

We do have precedent for not trusting CNN and the mainstream media.
They pushed the total lie of Russian Collusion for four years and some continue to do so. There was never any credible evidence of it but CNN and others spoke of it as if it were fact.
