#1 ...formerly the "Cable News Network", now who know what it might stand for...

We called it the 'Clinton News Network' back in the day. Perhaps that hasn't changed.

#3 "Not enough to alter the outcome of the election," the CNN anchor shot back." An admission that it wasn't the cleanest, fairest, most just election in American history? Or that all elections were worse?

Either way ifs the first chip in the monolithic narrative.

#4 "Not enough to alter the outcome of the election,"

That is actually quite a walk-back from the original "No evidence of widespread election fraud". NPR has been hitting the election integrity theme pretty hard lately, with frequent mentions of "Trump's Big Lie" and the phrase "election denier".

Traffic analysis would suggest they are worried about something.

#7 "Widespread" fraud is a strawman. Who said 'widespread'?

Cook County (Chicago) was sufficient to put Kennedy in the White House in 1960.

#8 All the Dems really had to do in 2020 to make the steal was mail-in ballots; everything else was icing on the cake.
