Why, then, would I accept the MSM as being anything near factual?
Do I watch them? Yes, however, with skepticism
That's totally fair, and honestly, a good way to go about it.
The problem is, the part about disbelieving everything in the MSM, and thinking there's some coordinated, "communist" effort.
And then lending WAY too much credence to other "non traditional" sources.
Not you specifically, but the election doubters in general.
So sure, doubt the MSM. They certainly have an agenda. But when everything they're reporting about the election keeps getting backed up by the courts and all the state gov'ts that are refuting these rumors......a reasonable and open-minded person HAS to conclude that the MSM is pretty accurate on this particular topic and the twitters, facebooks, parlers and rumbles of the world are wrong.
It's just a numbers thing. "Everyone" can NOT be "in on it" or "deep state". Not all the MSM, all the state governments be they D or R, all the courts right up to the Supremes. They all cannot possibly be a part of some huge deception.
And the level of deception required to pull something like this off would be unparalleled in human history. Simply impossible.
So that's a given, then we get to the fact that, when given their day in court, Trump's legal teams brought exactly nothing to show. No evidence. Nothing. Just rumors and innuendos, or outright falsehoods.
Put all that together and the only logical conclusion you can come to is that Trump lost, and is being the sorest loser in history about it.
And as with all celebs, there are fans willing to throw themselves in front of a bus for him to defend him. That's kind of unprecedented for a President, since he's the first real celeb in that position that was super famous prior.
