    I'm not familiar with the other instances. What were they?

    Me either, however, this makes 100% sense. Politics is cyclical, the media is not. If you don't back your peers, they won't back you if it happens to you.

    Sinema declared the winner in Arizona. She splits her votes in Congress currently. I am hearing grumblings that Kyl will retire from McCain's seat and Doucey will put McSally in that spot.

    Think it was for James Rosen at Fox when Holder AG try to convict him as a co-conspirator for leaking classified info. Other outlets backed him.

    Oh I do remember that.

    And it does make perfect sense for them to do it. I am still surprised though since they've consistently been Trump's mouthpiece for over 2 years. Their anchors have even campaigned for him, so I'm still not sure where the "regularly" and "Wasn't a surprise at all" from Scoscox comes from.

    I forget the exact circumstances (just because there have been so many), but they have released statements or signed onto statements rebuking Trump for his actions against journalist.

    Maybe these stories haven't pierced a liberal bubble I'm in. I can definitely remember Shep Smith doing it a few times.

    After the Pentagon Papers didn't Nixon basically remove the Post from all White House events?

    Yes. I can’t recall ever seeing them join a lawsuit before but I’m sure it probably has happened. This is more what I was talking about though. Shep Smith, Chris Wallace and Bret Baier I’ve heard make supporting statements like this on the air in these situations

    I just saw another close race in California where both sides are claiming voter fraud. Orange and LA county, Cisneros vs. Kim with Kim claiming Cisneros is harassing counters and Cisneros claiming three of Kim's observers had to be removed.

    Georgia is a mess and Florida is gonna be Florida. Florida is a cesspool, I expect that. Sinema rolls past McSally and more Trump fraud claims. It's like the guy is watching the voting scene from Gangs of New York on replay while tweeting this garbage.
