The liberal media turned up the propaganda meter to 100 before and during midterm elections. They warned that Big Tech was acting in an “election misinformation” channel and weren’t censoring enough people to push conspiracy theories.
“Days before midterms, Twitter laysoff employees who fight misinformation,” NBC News headlined Nov. 4, laying the foundation for claims that Big Tech wasn’t prepared to censor “misinformation” on social media ahead of what many expected to be a “Red Wave.”
Cristiano Lima, The Washington Post’s “Tech 202”, newsletter reporter, shared a reminder to “think twice before sharing unconfirmed stories, as none of our minds are immune from confusion.” This was shortly after 9 a.m. ET on Election Day. In a Nov. 8 article, The New York Times refuted “right-wing fraud” claims being spread online about Maricopa County.
Bloomberg News also published a biased article about Election Day that portrayed “Arizona Republicans” as “election deniers” who made “baseless fraud claims about Arizona glitches” on Truth Social, and other social media platforms.
NBC News complained that Twitter’s mass layoffs had crippled its “misinformation team” just days before Election Day. A number of anonymous, self reporting Twitter employees criticized Elon Musk for reducing the “curation team” that was responsible for debunking misinformation on Twitter.
The Post stated that Election Days were “rife with misinformation”, and gave its readers a list of warnings to watch out for on Nov. 8. Lima, a Post reporter, wrote that while the 2018 midterms were plagued with fears of foreign disinformation campaigns disrupting voting, experts this time are more afraid of unwitting participants as well as bad actors alike pushing familiar falsehoods to stir confusion.
Multiple videos and reports of “printer problems” and other technical issues in Maricopa were reported by The Times. The Times condemned Americans for exercising their free speech rights online and for sharing concerns about elections.
The Times claimed that Americans worried about voter fraud on social media were paranoid about postal ballots and were spreading dangerous views in “right-wing media.” However, the liberal outlet casually suggested that Maricopa County’s problems on Election Day were due to “printers not making dark enough markings on ballots.”
Bloomberg News took a similar angle to The Times and claimed that “Arizona Republicans” are using technical problems in ballot tabulation machines of the state’s largest counties to make unsubstantiated claims regarding Tuesday’s election.
The outlet, named after its owner, Mike Bloomberg, a billionaire Democrat, also criticized Republican politicians who asked voters to stay at the polling places until the ballot machines are fixed. They were accused of pushing conspiracy theories.
Bloomberg also claimed that Arizona is “the only state in which all four major statewide candidate are election deniers”.
