Trump Supporters Encouraged to Send Complaints to FCC For Networks Calling Biden 'President-elect'
4 hrs ago
Republican activists have urged supporters of President Donald Trump to send complaints against TV networks to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for calling President-elect Joe Biden "president-elect" after projecting him as winner of the 2020 election.
Republican activists have urged supporters of President Donald Trump to send complaints against TV networks to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for calling President-elect Joe Biden "president-elect" after projecting him as winner of the 2020 election.
Twitter posts by blogger Michelle Malkin and others urge Trump supporters to send the FCC consumer complaints over networks referring to Biden as "president elect," despite similar language being regularly used after previous elections. The posts quote a section of the agency's consumer guide dealing with complaints for networks who "intentionally distort the news."
"The FCC is prohibited by law from engaging in censorship or infringing on the First Amendment rights of the press," the guide reads. "It is, however, illegal for broadcasters to intentionally distort the news, and the FCC may act on complaints if there is documented evidence of such behavior from persons with direct personal knowledge."
It is not clear what "direct personal knowledge" of the broadcasters intentionally making false projections in Biden's favor is claimed by the activists. Trump and many of his allies have continued to claim without evidence that the election is being "stolen" from him.
Although there are no uniform standards, media outlets typically project an election winner when they determine it is mathematically, and all but certain, that a candidate will win.
A Twitter user spearheading the "call to action" insisted that "the media can make projections for each state but have no legal authority to call a state until election results are certified." However, there is not much distinction between a news organization making a "call" or a "projection," with neither term denoting an official result.

Projected winners of presidential elections have long been referred to as "president-elect" by the media before state results are officially certified. The certification process varies by state and typically happens weeks, and in some cases more than a month, after Election Day.
Several networks projected that Trump won the 2016 election early in the morning on the day after Election Day and quickly began referring to him as "president-elect" until his inauguration. In the battleground states that won him the election, Trump's margin of victory over former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was significantly slimmer than the advantage Biden current holds over him.
Trump beat Clinton by around 78,000 combined votes in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, securing his Electoral College win. Although a small number of votes are left to be counted in Pennsylvania, and the Trump campaign have demanded a recount in Wisconsin, Biden is ahead of the president by about 214,000 votes in the same states as of Monday night.
With the possible exception of Arizona, what little votes remain to be counted are unlikely to see Trump make up significant ground in states where he is behind. Recounts also rarely alter the results of elections, especially not elections where candidates are separated by thousands of votes.
A recount was conducted in Wisconsin following the 2016 election, resulting in Trump widening his lead over Clinton by 131 votes. Although a recount is yet to be conducted in the state this year, Biden currently leads Trump by 20,539 votes.
Newsweek reached out to the FCC for comment.

Rhodes: ‘Foreign Leaders Already Having Phone Calls with Joe Biden,’ Same Act for Which Michael Flynn Was Investigated
Ben Rhodes, former deputy national security adviser during the Obama administration, claimed on Monday that “foreign leaders are already having phone calls with Joe Biden.”
Gen. Mike Flynn, the first national security adviser for President Donald Trump, was prosecuted under an arcane law called the Logan Act for having precisely such communications with foreign leaders before Trump was sworn in.
Former Vice President Joe Biden has been accused of suggesting the Logan Act as a pretext for investigating Flynn, although other Obama administration officials claim the idea did not come from Biden.
Rhodes said Biden is already talking to foreign leaders during an MSNBC appearance on Monday afternoon:

Rhodes made his comments while scoffing at President Donald Trump for contesting the results of last week’s election.
“The Trump people seem to be talking like they have some agency here. We’re going to have the pageantry already of the president-elect announcing his advisory board. He’s going to start announcing cabinet secretaries. The center of political gravity in this country and the world is shifting to Joe Biden. Foreign leaders are already having phone calls with Joe Biden, talking about the agenda they’re going to pursue January 20th,” said Rhodes.
“I remember, I was on the incoming side, where I felt the spotlight shifting to us in 2008 and I was on the outgoing side in 2016 when it was shifting away from us to Donald Trump. That’s just going to happen regardless of what they do,” Rhodes added.
Gen. Mike Flynn resigned soon after Trump took office in 2017 because Obama advisers accused him of violating the Logan Act by communicating with foreign officials, specifically Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.
The Logan Act is a 1799 law that forbids private citizens from discussing U.S. foreign policy with foreign governments or their representatives. No one has ever been fully prosecuted under the Logan Act, not even the person for whom it is named, a doctor named George Logan accused of treasonously subverting the foreign policy of the young American republic by holding negotiations with France.
Flynn had a phone conversation with Kislyak on December 29, 2016 — long after Trump was certified as the winner of the 2016 election — during which he discussed sanctions the Obama administration imposed on Russia after the Russians were accused of trying to influence the election. Flynn told Kislyak he wanted the Russians to refrain from retaliating for the sanctions and escalating the diplomatic feud between Russia and America before Trump took office.

Did Siri Let the Cat Out of the Bag?
On Sunday night, Twitter users who own iPhones asked Apple’s digital assistant Siri about the age of the president of the United States. Siri did not respond with “President Donald Trump is 74 years old.” She did not even respond with “President-elect Joe Biden is 77 years old.” Instead, she brought up 56-year-old Kamala Harris, who is vice president-elect, according to preliminary and contested election results.
“Siri” started trending on Twitter as user after user shared the following back-and-forth.
“Hey, Siri, how old is the president?” the user asks.
“Kamala Harris was born 56 years ago, on Tuesday, October 20, 1964,” Siri responds.
“A lot of accounts on the far right are convinced something nefarious is afoot because of a glitch on iOS where if you ask Siri how old the President is, she answers with Harris’ age. Obviously the answer is that Kamala Harris is already secretly President,” journalist Hilary Sargent joked.

Some, like Robby Starbuck, asked Siri how “young” the president is — and he received the same result.

The conservative comedians Kevin and Keith Hodge, known as Hodgetwins, asked, “Has anybody checked in on [Joe Biden] since Siri started saying Kamala Harris was president? Y’all gave that man 24hrs before doing him that dirty?”

Apple fixed the problem Sunday night and Siri now correctly brings up Trump’s age when asked about how old the president is. Even so, thatseems like a rather suspicious glitch…
