Kirby Wilbur: Weasel

As I was driving home from dropping my son off at daycare, I chanced upon Kirby Wilbur. Talk Radio drives me up the wall, because with only a couple exceptions there seems to be a almost proud disrespect for the truth. I've often heard the excuse "we are entertainers" as hosts spout off retoric.

He had a guest on discussing the contested election trial and immediately made the bullshit statement that Way never answered the Republican question of "who changed the ballots". Why is this a bullshit statement? Because the question implies that it is a given that ballots were changed and that the question is who changed them. In fact, the issue being discussed was not any change to the physical ballots. Way's testimony largely revolved around how King County tabulated the statistics on the King County absentee-ballot report that was provided to the county canvassing board before the board certified the initial tabulation of the Nov. 2 vote. Although conservative's outside the court have freely stated that there would be explosive evidence that somehow ballots were changed fraudulently changed, so far no evidence has been presented to support that. In fact, the judge has warned them against throwing around the fraud word.

My guess is that there will never be any real evidence of ballot box stuffing or manipulation of ballots. If there was, there would be no need to engage in the weasel words that Kirby uses. And let's be clear: even if you did not say it yourself Kirby, you provided the guest with a venure and clearly agreed with him. You aided and abbetted the perpetuation of a statement that is not true and you know it.
