Donald Trumps ongoing effort to convince his supporters that the election is rigged is a dangerous threat to American democracy and the media needs to call him out, CNNs Brian Stelter said Sunday.
In an address delivered during his show Reliable Sources, Stelter pointed out that the Republican nominees attempts to discredit the election system over the last year havent received as much attention from reporters recently, as such comments have become par for the course. That, Stelter argues, needs to change.
Over time, the repetition, Trumps lies about election rigging have become a form of background noise, more of the same, and this is a propaganda technique, whether Trump knows it or not, he said. If you say something often enough, if you plant enough seeds, people start to wonder, Will my vote matter? Will it actually count?
As an example, Stelter pointed to a clip of Trump hinting at voter fraud and crooked polls during a speech in Philadelphia on Monday. That clip was only played once on CNN.
