FEC Complaint: Washington Post’s Paid Ads Boosting Harris And Criticizing Trump Violate Campaign Finance Rules

Published

on

The Trump campaign filed a complaint against The Washington Post with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) in response to advertising efforts Republicans argue amount to illegal electioneering.

On Thursday, the Dhillon Law Group filed a complaint on behalf of former President Donald Trump and Sen. J.D. Vance, R-Ohio, that claims the Post is engaged in “a dark money corporate campaign” to boost Vice President Kamala Harris.

The Washington Post recently announced it would not endorse a presidential candidate, a decision the Post’s owner defended on the basis that ‘Presidential endorsements do nothing to tip the scales of an election,’” the complaint reads. “Yet, on October 30, 2024, the news website Semafor published a report titled ‘Washington Post pays to boost stories critical of Trump as subscribers flee.’”

The Semafor article published Wednesday chronicled the paper’s desperate efforts to save readership after losing hundreds of thousands of subscribers in the aftermath of an announcement that the editorial board would not endorse Harris.

“Washington Post pays to boost stories critical of Trump as subscribers flee,” the headline read.

Semafor reported that eight days before Election Day, “On Monday, the paper aggressively ramped up its paid advertising campaign, boosting dozens of articles related to the election. While the articles about Vice President Kamala Harris were relatively neutral in tone and focused on her innovative digital strategy, her policy proposals, and her chances of winning next week, the articles that the Post paid to highlight about Trump told a different story.”

Here’s A List Of Every Garbage Journalist Who Lied About Trump’s Liz Cheney Chickenhawk Comments

Published

on

Democrats’ propaganda press is completely lying about comments Trump made about neocon and former Rep. Liz Cheney in an interview with Tucker Carlson.

Trump called Cheney a “radical war hawk” and pointed out how easy it is to make decisions about the lives of American troops when you are sitting in a cozy, insulated office and have no sense of how it feels on the field of battle to face the life and death consequences of decisions made in Washington.

“Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her. Let’s see how she feels about it, you know, when the guns are trained on her face,” Trump said. “You know, they’re all war hawks when they’re sitting in Washington, in a nice building saying, ‘Oh, gee, well, let’s send — let’s send 10,000 troops right into the mouth of the enemy.’”

Anyone with a basic grasp of English and a bit of context understands what Trump was conveying. But you don’t have to imagine how brazenly the lying dog-faced pony-soldier media massaged that sentiment — that we should be careful with the precious lives of our troops — into something sinister.

“He’s saying quite explicitly and unambiguously that Liz Cheney should be shot, should be executed by firing squad,” Jonah Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Dispatch, said in a CNN interview. “Let’s execute a political opponent, who happens to be a woman, because I don’t like her. … Does that pull more low-propensity voters in his

Corporate Media’s Shameless Liz Cheney Hoax Is What Real ‘Disinformation’ Looks Like

Published

on

One of the most powerful and corrupt players in American politics is spreading a sensational lie to manipulate voters four days before the final day of voting in the 2024 presidential election. The lie is that Donald Trump threatened to execute dynastic war hawk Liz Cheney by firing squad, and the culprit is America’s propaganda press.

Anyone who watches the clip of what Trump said will discern that he was obviously suggesting Cheney pick up a rifle and join the thousands of young Americans she’s sent overseas to fight in forever wars. Anyone who interprets it differently is either lying or so stupid he should take a lifelong vow of silence starting today.

“She’s a radical war hawk,” Trump said of Cheney on Thursday night. “Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, OK? Let’s see how she feels about it, you know, when the guns are trained on her face. You know, they’re all war hawks when they’re sitting in Washington in a nice building saying, ‘Oh gee … let’s send 10,000 troops right into the mouth of the enemy.’”

Cheney, beside herself at the thought of having to do what she asks young American men and women to do, ripped the first half of Trump’s comment from its context and claimed Trump had “threaten[ed]” her “with death.”

The corporate media didn’t issue one of their infamous “fact” “checks” or call Cheney out for her disinformation. They quickly joined in on the lie

Why You Should Always Double-Check Your Ballot: Kentucky Voting Machine Showed Trump Vote As Vote For Harris

Published

on

“I tried to pick Trump 10 times, it would not work.”

That’s part of the caption for a now-viral video on X showing a voter trying to cast a vote for former President Donald Trump. After several attempts, the video shows, the electronic voting machine captured a vote — but it was for Vice President Kamala Harris. Although officials have looked into the issue, such glitches are a reminder to voters to always double (if not triple) check ballots when casting votes.

The user, whose screen name is “it’s me,” said in the post that the incident took place in Kentucky. She claimed she “went to the head of the election board and will send this video to KY attorney general.”

Kentucky Attorney General Michael Adams said in a post on X responding to a report on the incident that “there is no ‘vote-switching’. The voter confirmed that her ballot was correctly printed as marked for the candidate of her choice. Get your voting information from legitimate sources, not TikTok or cat turds.”

Laurel County Clerk Tony Brown later confirmed in a post on Facebook that when the state’s Attorney General’s office came to “check the device,” the incident eventually occurred again.

“The Attorney General’s office has been to the vote center to check the device that has been shown across social media today. In full disclosure, after several minutes of attempting to recreate the scenario, it did occur,” Brown said on Facebook. “This was accomplished by hitting
