Media Winners & Losers

MEDIA WINNER:
Josh Dawsey

The Washington Post's Josh Dawsey published a new report over the weekend detailing a previously-unknown element of former President Donald Trump’s 2020 redux obsessions.

According to Dawsey, the Trump campaign paid research company Berkeley Research Group through a subsidiary called East Bay Dispute and Advisory consulting fees that totaled “more than $600,000 in the final weeks of 2020.”

There may have been even more spent, the Post’s sources said, as other outside researchers were also hired.

The ex-president infamously lost over 60 court cases, in both state and federal courts — many of which were decided by Republican-appointed or even Trump-appointed judges. But Berkeley’s research never made it into any of these court files.

“None of the findings were presented to the public or in court,” wrote Dawsey, and that was for a very obvious reason: they didn’t really find anything.

In addition to the stunning report on Trump's election fraud efforts, Dawsey reported on additional classified documents found at both Trump and former Vice President Mike Pence's residences.

Dawsey is consistently breaking news through his comprehensive and impressive reporting, marking himself as a top political reporter.

MEDIA LOSER:
Charlie Kirk

Charlie Kirk pushed a conspiracy theory Monday about the mysterious objects shot down over the United States and Canada in recent days -- it's the government trying to control the public.

On Monday's edition of The Charlie Kirk Show, the eponymous host first entertained a theory that aliens were responsible for the objects.

He then suggested that the incidents could have happened because President Joe Biden plans to "fake an alien invasion."

Kirk made the comments in response to a clip of Glen VanHerck, a top U.S. General who refused to rule out aliens as the source of the objects.

“But should we even trust anything that the government is saying?” Kirk asked, preparing to launch his more sinister theory.

“Could this all just be a false flag operation to fake an alien invasion or fake a UFO hysteria crisis to try to justify more power — lockdowns — control?”

Kirk, who called those questions "rational," also suggested, "This whole thing could just be a black propaganda campaign."

His theories were so outlandish, they prompted White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre to assure reporters there is "absolutely no evidence that extraterrestrials are any type of aliens from off-world are responsible for this."
