WorldNetDaily is happy that its dishonest and outright false narratives about election fraud have staying power, and Bob Unruh wrote a Feb. 23 article cheering that and repeating the lies once again:
The Democrats’ oft-repeated talking point that recent elections, especially the 2020 presidential race, have been the most secure ever seems to be not getting through to Americans.
Because a majority, 52%, say they believe cheating will affect the outcome of the 2024 race.
Of course, those Americans now know the other side of the Democrats’ messaging. They know that Mark Zuckerberg handed out $400 million plus to various elections officials who used it mostly to recruit Joe Biden supporters.
Never before in American elections had such a sum been dumped into the election process, and it was additionally significant because it was outside of the ordinary campaign-funding mechanisms.
They also know about the FBI’s interference in the campaign. The bureau told media corporations to suppress accurate and truthful, but very damaging, reporting about the Biden family scandals outlined in the laptop computer abandoned by Hunter Biden.
This doubt was documented by Rasmussen, which found that 52% of all voters, including 74% of Republicans, say they believe cheating will impact the election results this year.
Even 32% of Democrats agree.
As we’ve pointed out every time Unruh or another WNDer repeats those claims, there is absolutely no evidence that Zuckerberg money specifically went to recruiting Democratic voters — any election office could have received the money, intended to help run an election during a pandemic when local jurisdictions failed to offer all the funding needed, and in fact, more Republican-dominated jurisdictions than Democratic-dominated ones accepted the money. And as we’ve also pointed out, there was no reason to trust the Hunter laptop story at face value given that it came from the New York Post — a right-wing pro-Trump rag — and no independent verification was offered at the time. He also failed to disclose the fact that Rasmussen polls have a right-wing bias.
But Unruh, like the rest of WND, believes that narrative is more important than the truth. So he’ll never tell the full truth about these issues to his readers because the election-fraud narrative must be allowed to continue deceiving readers.
