This is the story of the birth of the rigged 2020 election that celebrity GOP personalities can’t let go of. A single letter to a Fox News personality that was never vetted, double checked or questioned before Fox ran with the story and messed up a generation of political gullibles.
Bourne’s “wackadoodle” email was germane for two reasons: It was chock-full of equally loony claims about Dominion, and it was the only message referencing Dominion in Bartiromo’s and Grossberg’s inboxes prior to Powell’s live shot on their show. In other words, it was Patient Zero in the coming contagion that would infect all of Fox and the GOP.
Powell didn’t send Fox any legit evidence of wrongdoing before smearing the company on national television. Bartiromo didn’t contact Bourne before going ahead with the segment. Grossberg didn’t conduct any due diligence about her guest’s apparent source. It was the Fox paradigm in all its glory: shoot first; don’t ask questions at all.
If any of them had followed up with Bourne, they might have learned, as The Daily Beast did, that she based her ideas about election fraud “on a wide variety of sources, including hidden messages she detects in films, song lyrics she hears on the radio, and overheard conversations she hears while in line at the supermarket checkout.”
NPR Interview with David Stelter
“how many years must a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea?
And how many years can some people exist
Before they’re allowed to be free?
Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn’t see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind
The answer is blowin’ in the wind”
