CNN Shows Some False Equivalence in Report on Trump’s Claims of Voter Fraud in Pa.

The video report is here.

They quote Trump’s dangerous and irresponsible (and borderline racist) comments about cheating being used to steal the election in Pa, and then when they ask if there is any evidence to support this, they point to a Pew report on bloated voter rolls, AS IF bloated voter rolls prove people are voting 5, 10, or 15 times as Trump has claimed (and as I’ve debunked). And the story sets a false frame, by saying not—this cheating is impossible in this way, but that voter id laws discriminate against minority voters.

CNN’s on air coverage of this issue so far has been very disappointing, even though CNN’s written reporting on this and other issues has been much, much stronger.
