Absurd Fact Checks on Biden's 8.1M Excess Votes

 

Media fact checkers & experts resorted to hyperbole, appeal to authority, and absurdity in response to solid analysis.

When former Army captain Seth Keshel's analysis of 8.1 million excess Biden votes was published by the Gateway Pundit, the media immediately scrambled to "debunk" Keshel's work.

It bears repeating, if the media labels someone a conspiracy theorist, then it is almost certain that the person is telling the truth.  

Here is the first line of USAToday's so-called fact check (my emphasis added)

"Conspiracy theorists who, months after the 2020 election, still falsely claim voter fraud affected the outcome have started to get creative."

Before getting around to discussing the data, USAToday columnist Daniel Funke also wrote this little gem.

The article, which accumulated nearly 13,000 shares within four days, cites an Aug. 2 post from Keshel on Telegram, an encrypted messaging app popular with far-right extremists.

Absurd. 

The USAToday headline read: "No evidence of 8 million 'excess' Biden votes in the 2020 election."

Nothing in Funke's column directly refuted Keshel's analysis.
