Everybody on the left & in mainstream media is calling President Trump names - like "paranoid" & "ridiculous" for example, whenever he expresses "unfounded" concern about Covid-19 & the effect it will have on this year's election regarding the expected massive number of people who will be voting by mail.
Nothing new about that, if he said the sky was blue, some folks would tear out their own eyeballs just to keep from having to admit he's telling the truth.

BUT - get this - NBC Nightly News - on August 4, 2020 themselves refers to this year's NY election as
"chaos" & a "fiasco" & a "mess".
Six weeks after the NY election, the results are still unknown due to the number of mail-in votes & errors by the state in issuing & tabulating these ballots.

Lester Holt, from NBC Nightly News opens this segment on the upcoming Presidential election by saying
"Election Night Could Become Election Week"
Okay, it's been SIX weeks for the state of NY election & they don't have a result yet, but an entire nation of votes will be made in November & he says it could become "election week"??
Wow, that is optimistic, to say the least.
In the state of New York, postage paid envelopes were sent with ballots - which should have been a positive, right? No out-of-pocket expense for postage, no time delay in mailing back when completed - sounds great, right?!
BUT
when postage paid mail is processed, it generally goes straight through, not getting postmarked, & now we have a problem. No verification of date mailed (yeah, there is a deadline for voting) & no verification that these envelopes actually went through the postal service - so in theory, someone could bring a bag full of ballots in to be counted & no one could prove otherwise. PLUS these votes have to be counted manually - human error exists. Lots of windows for disputing the results just got thrown open & none of them have screens.
OOPS!

OOPS!
Ironically, but typically, NBC lists each & every point mentioned above in detail, with interviews with people connected to & affected by the NY election - then CRITICIZES President Trump for having what they call "unfounded" concerns about what a mess it's going to be in November - criticizes him, mind you, after showing & telling us in exquisite detail, the "fiasco" (NBC'S DESCRIPTION) of ONE state's election in our current & crazy "new normal" Covid-19 world - not fifty states combined, just ONE!
Also, to add my own 2 cents here - there is a big difference between mass mail-in voting (which the President has been very critical of) & absentee voting (which he supports & has used himself, by admission). The media, for some reason has recently made the two terms synonymous - which is inaccurate & (in my opinion) done to intentionally mock his (justified) concern.
One big difference being a required signature verification in the absentee that is not present in mass mail-in. This may seem small, but is crucial in helping prevent the possibility of fraud.

Tell me that mocking his concern isn't bias, & if you truly believe it, show me why.
Tell me, after seeing what is going on with NY elections, that the President is stupid, or crazy, or whatever adjective you prefer for being concerned, & again explain why.
This is an election to decide who will be in charge of our country for the next 4 years! This is such a big deal that out of all the millions of people in our country only TWO are officially chosen to compete for that spot!! As a country, this election is big, but to those men, Trump & Biden? This is humongous.
If one of those names was mine, I'd have plenty of concerns - bet your ass. I've got plenty of concerns already.
Elections shape nations, policies, laws, freedoms & restrictions.
Yeah, I'm concerned. Everyone should be.
