    Trump is going after right-wing outlets which don't toe his line -- which only causes them to further reduce their support for Trump. Creating a vicious downhill cycle.

    Trump Rages Against The New York Post, Threatens ‘If They Don’t Change’ The Paper Will ‘Be No More’
    https://www.mediaite.com/politics/t...f-they-dont-change-the-paper-will-be-no-more/

    Former President Donald Trump tore into the New York Post this week – a media outlet that was once one of his biggest boosters.

    “Since the New York Post went bad on Trump and they have gone bad, their numbers have fallen tremendously,” Trump began in a short clip posted to social media.

    “People aren’t buying it. They don’t want to read that. The New York Post has treated me great for almost a lifetime,” the 2024 GOP frontrunner continued, adding:

    And now, for whatever reason, and I guess it’s radical left or the RINO stuff, they have gotten really bad and it’s ridiculous. But the numbers are down. Their numbers of readers and everything else has gone down tremendously. Great people are tired of hearing fake news. The New York Post used to be so good, but not anymore. We have to get it back before it’s too late because frankly, if they don’t change, there will be no more New York Post and that would be sad. Thank you.

    The New York Post, which is owned by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp, has been covering Trump’s various ongoing legal troubles – as has the rest of the American media.

    In recent days the Post ran headlines like “Mar-a-Lago was only worth $27M despite Trump Org. claiming $517M to gain edge: trial evidence,” and “Trump fraud trial live updates: ‘Defeated’ ex-prez calls for case to end after storming out of courtroom” – which undoubtedly irked Trump

    The paper however continues to be staunchly on the right and opinion columnist Miranda Devine continues her coverage of President Joe Biden. Devine’s latest headline reads, “Anatomy of a Biden family ‘cover-up’ executed by our own FBI and DOJ.”

    Let's take a look at the GQP circus in Colorado.

    Colorado GOP without evidence alleges ‘systemic fraud’ and tells canvas boards not to certify November election
    https://coloradonewsline.com/briefs...nvas-boards-not-to-certify-november-election/

    The Colorado Republican Party is advising county canvass boards to not certify results from the Nov. 7 statewide election, alleging without evidence that the process is a “rigged system” and promoting debunked conspiracy theories on election insecurity.

    In an email sent to GOP supporters on Nov. 22, former state Rep. Ron Hanks, who now serves as the party’s Ballot and Election Security Committee chairman, wrote that certifying the election would imply the party’s “acceptance of a disastrous process and declare we acquiesced to their systemic fraud and personal corruption.”

    Coloradans voted on two statewide propositions and various local issues in the Nov. 7 election.

    County canvass boards are made up of members from both parties and look at data to check for accuracy of election night results. They are in charge of certifying the official abstract of votes by reconciling the number of ballots counted with the number of ballots cast, and the number of ballots cast with the number of people who voted. It is typically a non-controversial and simple process.

    Hanks compared the canvass boards, however, to a “facade of citizen oversight and a rubber stamp.”

    He also criticized Colorado’s use of Dominion Voting Systems machines and a mistake from Secretary of State Jena Griswold’s office last year when 30,000 noncitizens received voter registration information. Election security experts have repeatedly defended Dominion machines in the wake of misinformation since the 2020 presidential election, and the postcard mixup from Griswold did not result in any noncitizen successfully registering to vote or voting.

    Hanks, who ran unsuccessfully for U.S. Senate last year, is one of the state’s loudest deniers of the 2020 presidential election results. He attended the pro-Donald Trump rally in Washington, D.C., that preceded the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. He served one term in the Colorado House of Representatives.

    The email is the latest example of the far-right, conspiratorial leanings of the state Republican party since former state Rep. Dave Williams took over as chair earlier this year. Hanks tied its message to the 2024 election, which he said “will be an epic battle.”

    “Our standing and credibility will be upheld if we reject the corruption of the unchanged voting process — in Colorado and throughout our nation,” he wrote.

    In an emailed statement Wednesday, Griswold called Colorado’s elections safe and secure.

    “I encourage members of the canvass board to follow election rules and procedure. We will not allow bad actors to interfere with the will of voters,” Griswold said.

    Georgia GOPers: this law will create a commission to punish prosecutors (Fani Willis) that do things we don't like, but to give it a veneer of legitimacy the GA Supreme court will write the rules of its operation.
    GA Supreme Court: yeah, f@ck off, we're not doing that.

    Georgia high court issues a 'blow' to GOP gov and party seeking to 'punish' Fani Willis
