They remain locked in their own isolated echo chambers, unable to imagine that people read beyond whatever narrative is published by the editors of the Washington Post. <\/p>\n<p>The recent CNN town hall with former President Donald Trump was just the latest illustration of D.C. press elites revealing their disconnect from the very people they claim to work for. The first question by CNN moderator Kaitlan Collins wasn\u2019t about the war in Ukraine, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/watch-sharon-stone-says-she-lost-half-of-her-money-due-to-banking-failures\/\" title=\"WATCH: Sharon Stone says she 'lost half' of her money due to banking failures\">recent bank collapses<\/a>, or the upcoming election in 2024, for which the first debate is three months away. Instead, the CNN anchor pressed the former president on his efforts to \u201coverturn the 2020 election.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>The Predictable Question from a Predictable Host on a Predictable Network<\/h3>\n<p>It was a predictable question from a predictable host on a predictable network, met with the kind of predictable mockery from the former president who doubled down on a fraudulent contest in traditional Trump terms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnless you\u2019re a very stupid person, you see what happens,\u201d Trump said. \u201cIt was a rigged election, and it\u2019s a shame that we had to go through it. It\u2019s very bad for our country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Collins wagged her finger. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was not a rigged election. It was not a stolen election,\u201d Collins said. \u201cIt\u2019s been nearly two-and-a-half years. Can you publicly acknowledge that you did lose the 2020 election?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump refused. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve really become, in many ways, a third-world country,\u201d the president, who was indicted in March, said.<\/p>\n<h3>The Incredulous Press<\/h3>\n<p>Collins didn\u2019t move on from the network\u2019s favorite topic of the last three years for the first 10 minutes of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/actress-jasika-nicole-pledges-to-no-longer-star-in-shows-about-law-enforcement\/\" title=\"Actress Jasika Nicole Pledges To No Longer Star In Shows About Law Enforcement\">prime-time program<\/a>. The episode was greeted by an incredulous press aghast at the sight of the former president refusing to capitulate on his primary grievance since the lockdown-era contest.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTrump again refuses to concede 2020 election while taking questions from New Hampshire GOP primary voters,\u201d ran CNN\u2019s own headline.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTrump\u2019s Falsehoods and Bluster Overtake CNN Town Hall,\u201d read another in the New York Times.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTrump Maintains False 2020 Election Claims on CNN Town Hall,\u201d titled coverage in Bloomberg.<\/p>\n<h3>The Rigged Election<\/h3>\n<p>The election was, however, rigged against both Trump and American voters who were robbed of a free and fair process.<\/p>\n<p>Three years ago, Democrats and their allies exploited the outbreak of Covid-19 to manipulate state election laws with the radical expansion of mail-in voting, the least secure format to conduct elections. Democrat operatives through Facebook\u2019s Center for Tech and Civic Life, meanwhile, took over the administration of elections and erected ballot boxes in liberal strongholds to gin up turnout. Mark Zuckerberg\u2019s pet project gave more than $400 million to the effort, with only a small fraction of the \u201cZuckbucks\u201d spent in areas won by President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Other efforts by Democrats to rig the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/corporate-press-reaction-to-cnn-trump-town-hall-illuminates-beltway-bubble\/\" title=\"CNN Trump Town Hall highlights corporate press bias in Washington bubble.\">2020 contest included turning election day<\/a> into election season, with voters able to cast ballots weeks before November, absent of the typical safeguards that protect against fraud. Voters cast ballots before blockbuster news from the New York Post implicated President Joe Biden in his son\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/left-wing-rating-agency-grades-media-that-botched-hunter-biden-story-with-100-percent-credibility\/\" title=\"Left-Wing Rating Agency Grades Media That Botched Hunter Biden Story With 100 Percent Credibility\">potentially criminal overseas business ventures<\/a>. Even after the stories did drop, however, Big Tech conspired with the corporate press and even federal intelligence agencies to suppress their reach in order to sway the election. Federalist Editor-in-Chief Mollie Hemingway wrote an entire 448-page book documenting the myriad of ways Democrats rigged the 2020 contest.<\/p>\n<h3>The Republican National Committee&#8217;s Initiative<\/h3>\n<p>The election integrity crisis led the Republican National Committee to launch a year-round initiative last week to restore transparency and faith in U.S. elections.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s clear that neither Collins nor really anybody else in the D.C. press corps who complained about CNN airing electoral falsehoods read anything that either Hemingway or Federalist staff wrote on the issue.<\/p>\n<h3>About the Author<\/h3>\n<p>Tristan Justice is the western correspondent for The Federalist and the author of Social Justice Redux, a conservative newsletter on culture, health, and wellness.
