CNN is following the Republican spin on the objection to some extent

[jpgray]

Not mentioning in the blurbs that the purpose of the objection was to debate voting irregularities, but saying that the purpose is to overturn the Ohio results. This is technically the procedural purpose, but when the Democrats thus far have all stated their purpose as being something quite different, I think it is pretty shoddy work on CNN's part.

From what I can discern, the Republican strategy is "the Democrats are trying to overturn the election!!! Ohmygoshlookout!"

3. be sure to point out whether it's

so called "pundits" making these remarks or the anchors/reporters... there's a big difference, and most of du doesn't understand that.

a "pundit" doesn't represent the network as a whole.

with that said, IF an anchor is following the republican spin, that's regrettable.

9. there seems to be some on DU who think that also

that's why they are getting upset and attacking democrats who say it's about voting fairness and not overturning results.
