How Far Will Conservative Media Go to Help Trump on Election Night?
SlateThis week on The Gist we have been examining the question of what happens if election night turns into election fortnight. I think that if it’s a big Joe Biden win, this all falls apart, I also think it falls apart if Biden is winning Texas or Florida at the end of election night. And then there are other right-wing talk radio hosts who maybe are more showman than “let’s wave the bloody shirt.” What do you think? And you’ve got conspiracy theory people within the media, like Alex Jones for example, who are often their own sphere, where he’s looking to sell survival, the Alex Jones Survival Kit for $79.99 or something. I had good relationships and then this Levin guy comes along and now they’ve gone nuts.” But there are some voices, like for example, Ben Shapiro, who’s maybe the biggest young voice in conservative media, who I think that if it’s clear or reasonably clear that Trump has lost, is not going to sow doubt.
