Should they call it a &#8220;coup?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;I&#8217;ve been using that word for months now,&#8221; historian and author Timothy Snyder told Stelter on &#8220;Reliable Sources&#8221; Sunday.<\/p>\n<ul><\/ul>\n<p>&#8220;Because he announced in advance, it numbed us all and then we&#8217;re scared to use the word,&#8221; Snyder added.<br \/>\nA dozen GOP senators have announced that they will object to counting votes in Biden&#8217;s clear Electoral College win during what has traditionally been a ceremonial exercise on Capitol Hill. The effort comes despite no credible evidence suggesting widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Is it accurate to call this a <em>coup<\/em> attempt? &#8230; Is President Trump <em>betraying<\/em> his oath of office? Are the lawmakers supporting him <em>seditious<\/em>? These words matter a lot right now,&#8221; Stelter said at the start of his show.<br \/>\nA whopping 83% of Fox News viewers say Biden was not elected legitimately, according to a new Suffolk University\/USA TODAY poll, but Snyder said that &#8220;unlike previous elections, we actually did have an election in 2020 that people around the world could admire.&#8221;<\/p>\n<ul><\/ul>\n<p>&#8220;The coverage has to keep reiterating what is true, what is real.&#8221;<br \/>\nBefore Election Day, right-wing media outlets said &#8220;Trump would win and he would only lose if it was rigged,&#8221; Stelter said. In the &#8220;MAGA bubble,&#8221; the only people you hear from are &#8220;Trump supporters and experts who sound very smart,&#8221; he added.<br \/>\nSource: <a href=\"https:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/2021\/01\/03\/media\/media-trump-coup-reliable\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York (CNN)The Republican effort to contest the presidential election results on the Senate floor this week is raising questions about how media outlets should [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":103828,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
