US election: Fact vs conspiracy – BBC Newsnight

Published

on



As misinformation over the US election result continues to grow, Newsnight takes a look at how the battle between conspiracy and fact is shaping — what is soon to be — post-Trump America. Please subscribe HERE http://bit.ly/1rbfUog

The American election may have been decided — but President Trump is still fighting President-elect Biden in the courts. Tonight in Georgia — where runoff elections in January could decide the balance of power in the Senate —  the results of a recount are expected imminently.

In the election President Trump was voted for by a broad coalition of over 70 million Americans, but now the longer he refuses to concede, the more the anger and conspiracy theories start to fly amongst his more ardent fans.

Newsnight’s International Editor Gabriel Gatehouse reports from Georgia. There is some strong language in this film.

    14:01 "The party of riots". Notice how she's not talking about the Republicans who will be OK with the Capitol riot and who voted to acquit Donald Trump the person who was incited the January 6th riot.

    Every year there are 3-4% of ballots in Georgia that are rejected because of violations. In 2020 ZERO were rejected. Now call it what you will but that is screwy.

    Give me a break GQP; if Democrats were "rigging" elections, we would already have universal health insurance, no-tuition education, Fair Trade, and revenue-neutral-carbon-taxing, etc., etc., etc.

    Sadly media on both sides have fueled so much of this. Lies on both sides. The 2020 election was won by Biden. Folks weren’t happy when Trump took 2016, but they didn’t make up lies or try and stop the ratification of the valid electoral vote count. True Conservatives and I have lost the Republican party to a dangerous base. It’s sad.

    Insane as a joke about the student costing VW billions of dollars in the use of "software" changing the emission test results in the USA! If you cannot read software code then what makes you think that there is no possibility that electronic counting of votes, without recounts, could be hacked?

    I'm somewhat an expert on election fraud, coming from Chicago, where we PROVED that Nixon won in 1960. The sham election was supported by all news organs, even Murdoch's Orthodox sons interfering with America as usual. Important Republicans are on Soros's payroll or partied with Jeffrey Epstein and Robert Maxwell's daughter, so the 700 VIPs blackmail scheme of CIA-MOSSAD covers all the bases, as we Yanks say. These closet communists are building up Red China for the next big war. Why won't you brainless television watchers wake up? Oh, perhaps that is the reason why.

    What do former MI5 spooks do when short of cash? They spin lies into scripts for that same media at the behest, and in the pay of the democrat party-which in turn sells the script to FBI, who pays for them with our money- to crush a presidential campaign and smear the candidate as a Russian agent. The BBC does it's part in repeating and magnifying the lie.

    But when common citizens proclaim their suspicions that the Corporate-State Nexus seems to have conspired to subvert their election, the BBC is skeptical. Once again, they do their master's bidding.

    Brits– it may be time for you to consider your own war for independence!

Meta to pay up to $18bn to settle claims its platforms harm children | BBC News

Published

on



Social media giant Meta has agreed to a $18bn (£13.3bn) settlement with US states and territories to resolve claims that Facebook and Instagram harmed children.

A California judge approved the settlement, which Meta must pay to 48 states, plus the District of Columbia and three US territories, marking the company’s largest payment over child safety litigation to date.

Meta will also implement a host of changes aimed at better protecting kids online, which the states had demanded, including default daily time limits and night-time blocks.

Meta has denied any wrongdoing as part of the settlement and said on Wednesday that the payment it agreed to “will be distributed in annual instalments over a 10-year period”.

PC Andrew Harper’s killers to stay in jail | BBC News Exclusive

Published

on



Prime Minister Andy Burnham has told the BBC that PC Andrew Harper’s killers will remain behind bars as he announces changes to the early release scheme aimed at easing prison overcrowding. 

In an exclusive interview with BBC Breakfast, Burnham said anyone convicted of manslaughter will be excluded from changes brought in under the Sentencing Act, which would have made the killers eligible for early release. 

Burnham said extra prison spaces would be created by deporting “hundreds” of foreign prisoners and releasing some inmates serving indefinite sentences.
