As Twitchy told you, Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown didn’t hesitate to accuse the racist GOP of stealing the Georgia gubernatorial election away from Stacey Abrams if she winds up losing.
"If Stacey Abrams doesn’t win in Georgia, they stole it,” @SherrodBrown says at @NationalAction. "It's clear."

Remember when this was the sort of talk that undermines our democracy? The media should be all over Brown. So what’s taking them so long?
So I presume that national media and Democrats will criticize Sherrod Brown for trying to deligitimize the election results?
That is the standard, right? https://t.co/2tokomYrTz

I mean, the rant on @cnn from people like @BrookeBCNN on this has been nonstop.
I presume they'll spend a huge percentage of today's show attacking Brown. pic.twitter.com/yc1S3mcgvB

Maybe we should grab a Snickers or 600. Something tells us we could be waiting a while.
I wonder if @NateSilver538 considers this "undermining democracy." https://t.co/xTpm4cgKrZ

I’m sure the @nytimes and @NBCNews and @CNN and @Susan_Hennessey will get right on denouncing this undermining of democratic institutions. https://t.co/R2nBUL6aHN

I'm sure @CillizzaCNN is writing the tweet saying that a sitting senator is making accusations without evidence as we speak. https://t.co/gq5cMg3Lti

And almost complete silence from all the same journalists who thought Rubio calling out actual proven illegality and wrongdoing in Florida was out of bounds and undermined our electoral process.. https://t.co/rZWhFhqDzm

Almost complete silence, yes. Some out there are talking about it:
Not only are they not calling it out, but I see several of them actually promoting this irresponsible claim.

LOL
Cillizza retweeted it. https://t.co/UbbrgwFr6r
— RBe (@RBPundit) November 14, 2018
Of course he did:
WOOPS. Nope.@CillizzaCNN Retweeted it. pic.twitter.com/VMqAGxmBBL

This to me looks like @CillizzaCNN is taking a side, no? pic.twitter.com/T7muVSHLUY
— RBe (@RBPundit) November 14, 2018
Li’l bit, yeah.
When Rubio pointed to shenanigans in Florida he was accused of being a tool of Vladimir Putin. Guessing–just guessing!–Brown won't get the same treatment. https://t.co/BKS5uAfycm

Where are all those journalists who rushed to condemn Rubio? I'm sure they'll be here any minute.
— Alex Zelinski (@A_Zelinski) November 14, 2018
Let's ask @Susan_Hennessey who was the one who said he was a tool of Putin.
Susan, is Sherrod Brown being a tool of Putin for undermining the Georgia election results with his rhetoric? Or nah? https://t.co/gEZT9oXTx3
— RBe (@RBPundit) November 14, 2018
No comment from Susan yet. We’re sure she’s just hard at work on a lengthy condemnation of Brown’s abhorrent comments.
There does seem to be one notable exception to the media’s embargo on calling Brown out — sort of:
This is exactly what Republicans have been saying about Rick Scott, and rightly getting hammered for it. https://t.co/vPatkrHvpQ
— Aaron Blake (@AaronBlake) November 14, 2018
Here is an exception. Aaron rightly called it out. Though this is not what most R's were saying about Scott (who has more votes vs. Abrams is down by 50K+). https://t.co/0XE4X82w62

Guess we just have to take what we can get.
We all know that the media will either completely ignore this, or will just mention it in passing.
The narrative must be controlled.

And that, friends, is another episode of "The Media Is Garbage And Is Biased Towards Democrats."
