Read full article: Trump repeats election claims in interviews, is unchallenged

(AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster, File)NEW YORK โ€“ In the first television interviews of his post-presidency, Donald Trump repeated his false claims that the election was stolen from him 10 times โ€” each instance unprompted and unchallenged. Trump emerged this week for interviews with Fox News Channel, Newsmax and One America News Network tied to the death of Rush Limbaugh. Nearly a month after he left office, Trump drove his point home on each network:โ€” "The election was stolen," he told OANN's White House correspondent Jenn Pellegrino. Kelly referred to โ€œPresident Trumpโ€ and โ€œJoe Biden.โ€Adโ€œA lot of people are in awe of you, and I am one of those people,โ€ Kelly told Trump. Trump fans weren't much interested in the trial, anyway, but during coverage of the second day of the impeachment managers' argument to convict Trump, Fox News Channel's audience was only 815,000, the Nielsen company said.

Limbaugh, the talk radio host who became the voice of American conservatism, has died. (AP Photo/Patrick Semansky, File)NEW YORK โ€“ You didn't have to like or even listen to Rush Limbaugh to be affected by what he did. Bumper stickers proclaimed, โ€œRush is Right.โ€โ€œThere is no talk radio as we know it without Rush Limbaugh. As Limbaugh's political strength became evident, many Republican politicians felt they couldn't cross him, or run the risk of alienating his millions of listeners, Hemmer said. โ€œMany of these listeners didn't care if Rush Limbaugh crossed the line (of propriety),โ€ she said.

Limbaugh, the talk radio host who became the voice of American conservatism, has died. Unflinchingly conservative, wildly partisan, bombastically self-promoting and larger than life, Limbaugh galvanized listeners for more than 30 years with his talent for sarcastic, insult-laced commentary. โ€œWeโ€™re supposed to be horrified by the protesters,โ€ Limbaugh told his listeners the next day after the Jan. 6 attack. AdRush Hudson Limbaugh III was born Jan. 12, 1951, in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, to the former Mildred Armstrong, and Rush Limbaugh Jr., who flew fighter planes in World War II and practiced law at home. He attracts more listeners with just his voice than the rest of us could ever imagine,โ€ Beck wrote in Time magazine in 2009.

A multimedia impeachment trial: Video takes center stage

Trump's lawyers fully embraced a TikTok defense on Friday, using manipulated video to complain about manipulated video and relying on rapid-fire, repetitive imagery. โ€œThe only question one might have is whether they repeated that effectiveness too much.โ€They also left room for a line of attack for Trump's lawyers. Trump's team found video of participants in the impeachment trial calling past elections into question, even digging back to find a 2005 speech by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. In a trial without witnesses, the House managers relied heavily on media reports and interviews. Ultimately, it was a fully modern impeachment trial, with hours spent in video editing rooms likely rivaling the time spent with lawyers.

Violent protesters, loyal to President Donald Trump, storm the Capitol, Wednesday, Jan. 6, 2021, in Washington. (AP Photo/John Minchillo)NEW YORK โ€“ Media outlets that appeal to conservatives offered condemnations, explanations and deflections following the U.S. Capitol riot by President Donald Trump's supporters, but little introspection. Several figures in conservative media suggested liberal politicians and mainstream media outlets are more outraged when Trump supporters are violent than they were about civil rights demonstrations last summer. โ€œWere left-wing provocateurs leading the way into the Capitol?โ€ questioned Thomas Lifson of American Thinker. Many conservative media figures have sold themselves as truth-tellers and admitting error isn't good for business, said Brian Rosenwald, author of โ€œTalk Radio Americaโ€ and a scholar in residence at the University of Pennsylvania.

For media following Georgia, nail-biting and lots of numbers

Read full article: For media following Georgia, nail-biting and lots of numbers

As the hour slipped past 2 a.m. on the East Coast, Democrat Raphael Warnock beat Republican Kelly Loeffler. King and MSNBC's Kornacki dominated their networks with headache-inducing number crunching. Warnock and Ossoff jumped to early leads, but as more votes came in, the Republicans swung in front. After midnight, the Times judged both Warnock and Ossoff had a better than 95% chance of winning. Fox News spent less time on raw numbers to showcase their prime-time stars, Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham.
