    But who would sue them for this? They aren’t blaming devices or companies here. They’re blaming Biden, DOJ, the system and anything else in the government they can.

      I imagine that leading up to the election, they don’t want to show a pattern of unsubstantiated false election claims, since that can be used as evidence if later there is a claim by a host or guest which names a company directly that can be used in a lawsuit.

      If such a lawsuit were to happen, they can point to this instance and claim that they tried their hardest to stop the unsubstantiated claims (even cutting off the former president), and it’s not a systemic issue in the network.

        They spent millions in the past establishing that they are entertainment not news and thus cannot be held accountable or some such shit.

        Where they slandered voting machine companies? Yes.

        That’s not what they’re doing now. At least, not yet.

        This time they’ll blame a corrupt government.

          Does the corrupt government alter vote counts? Or how does that work?

            It works by allowing undocumented workers to vote by mail as often as they’d like.
