MEDIA LOSER:
Sydney Powell (And All the Cable News Hosts Who Elevated Her)
Today MSNBC's Morning Joe ripped into former Donald Trump “Kraken” lawyer and pundit Sidney Powell for her conspiracy theory that Democrats murdered someone to cover up 2020 election fraud. On Tuesday it was revealed the Trump campaign was aware that some of their claims about election fraud were false; Sidney Powell's many wild claims chief among them. The fact that even they were able to quickly (internally and secretly, but quickly) debunk the claims shows just how irresponsible it was for some media to carry those claims as credible (and why some of them are getting their pants sued off for it.) Sadly that's not all. Powell last week alleged that a staffer to then-Senator Kelly Loeffler had been murdered by Democrats as part of their election conspiracy. “I think what we are dealing with here is pervasive and very, very dark,” said Powell. “It’s organized. It’s well funded. It’s pure evil. They are willing to kill people, à la Kelly Loeffler’s aide in Georgia, who was suddenly blown up in his car on the way to a rally for her.” Joe Scarborough said it's “in the Seth Rich category of using the death of a young volunteer for grotesque political purposes.” “What is wrong with her?” Scarborough demanded in the heated segment. "It’s just grotesque!" Grotesque is a great word. The country has been subjected to a thousand lies and a thousand dangers by conspiracy nuts being treated like newsmakers. On every network but especially on certain networks. Now is for condemnation. Next time is for better judgment. |
