The interview highlighted that Trump was “unable or unwilling to accept reality,” CNN’s chief media correspondent Brian Stalter said on “reliable sources” on Sunday.
Trump misrepresented throughout the conversation.
Trump falsely told Bertiromo that he had beaten the mail-in voting and falsely claimed that “the dead are applying to get the ballot.”
“In addition to not acknowledging Biden’s victory in the Trump election, Bertiromo’s reckless acceptance of Trump’s false statement also poses a threat to American democracy,” said CNN senior media reporter Li Lever Darcy.
Bertiromo’s journalism career spans more than 25 years. She made her name when she started CNBC’s morning show “Squawk Bx” and anchored “The Closing Bell with Maria Bertiromo” and “On the Money with Maria Bertiromo”. Made history as a journalist.
But, since moving to Fox News, most people in the media world have shifted their perspective on it.
“Maria Bertiromo, once a frightened and acclaimed journalist, known for working the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, forcing the CEO to tell the truth, now sits behind a desk and lies to the president and lies,” Stelter said. .
Trump’s disinformation campaign on the election is not a coherent strategy and is more about throwing spaghetti on the wall in the hope that something will be done with sticks, said Jonathan Rauch, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution.
“What he’s running right now is a classic Russian-style disinformation campaign,” Rauch said.
He added that Trump’s aim is to “flood the zone” and to “confuse the people” by advancing conspiracy theories, lies and half-truths.
The fact that his conspiracy theories have gained so much momentum shows that Trump’s strategy has been effective in gaining the support of Republicans – if not to reverse the election result. When it comes to Trump’s expertise in the field, Rauch said, “I think he’s better than Putin.”
Rauch added that President-elect Joe Biden has done a good job of “not standing up to the guilt of every conspiracy thrown there.”
Sunday’s interview came after a long silence for Trump. People working closely with the president avoided answering questions about the election, and the president avoided questions about attempts to overthrow the election.
