Showing Original Post only (View all)Trump has jumped the shark [View all]
I discerned a change in the coverage today--the media outlets are suddenly calling a spade a spade:
"Trump Falsely Claims Popular Vote Win" (CNN)
"Trump Claims 'Millions' Voted Illegally, Citing No Evidence" (NYT)
"Trump Makes Unfounded Claim . . . ." (NPR)
Seems that Trump has finally stepped over the line with such an outrageous claim that the media have collectively abandoned their usual false equivalency approach for instead just rolling their eyebrows. About time.
