As early as January of 2017, Democrats were running around on liberal cable news, declaring the 2016 election stolen and Donald Trump’s presidency illegitimate. Left-wing journalists, far from pushing back against these unfounded claims, in fact amplified and repeated them. Yet this past year, many of those same journalists have repeatedly grilled Republicans and demanded that they accept the results of the 2024 election “no matter what happens.”

Talk of Russians “hacking our election” (what does that even mean?) and Trump’s supposed illegitimacy was so prevalent back that they could fill an entire weeknight edition of ABC’s World News Tonight or the NBC Nightly News.
