Why does ‘fake media' continuously assume Biden will ascend to Presidency, asks Trump
Washington: President Donald Trump has accused the mainstream American media of taking sides and not reflecting on his side of the story, asking as to why does the Fake News Media continuously assume that President-elect Joe Biden will ascend to the presidency next January.
Last week, the mainstream media declared Democratic presidential candidate Biden as the winner of the November 3 presidential election and said that Trump has lost.
President Trump, however, has refused to concede the election, asserting that he has won. He has filed several lawsuits alleging massive electoral fraud.
Media and state officials have said that they do not have any evidence of large-scale voter fraud. Trump, meanwhile, accused the media of supporting Biden during the election campaign.
Why does the Fake News Media continuously assume that Joe Biden will ascend to the Presidency, not even allowing our side to show, which we are just getting ready to do, how badly shattered and violated our great Constitution has been in the 2020 election, Trump asked in a tweet on Sunday.
It was attacked perhaps like never before! The World is watching! Trump said.
Earlier in the day, Trump said that many of the court cases being filed all over the country are not his, but rather those of people that have seen horrible abuses.
Our big cases showing the unconstitutionality of the 2020 Election, & the outrage of things that were done to change the outcome, will soon be filed! We won't let a RIGGED ELECTION steal our Country! he said in another tweet.
For the first time earlier on Sunday, President Trump appeared to grudgingly acknowledge that Biden won the closely-fought race for the White House, but indicated that he would not concede and would keep trying to challenge the "rigged" election outcome.
His declaration comes as he and his administration continue to accuse the Democrats of election fraud without evidence and impede the transition. According to the schedule, Biden will be inaugurated as the next US President on January 20.
As per the latest count of the electoral college votes coming from all the 50 states, Biden has 306 of the 538 electoral college votes, which is well above the halfway mark of 270.
Trump, who has 232 electoral college votes, has challenged the election results in various states including Pennsylvania, Nevada, Michigan, Georgia and Arizona. He had demanded a recount in Wisconsin.
As Trump, 74, has refused to concede the election, the transition team of Biden and vice-president-elect Kamala Harris says that the Trump administration is not cooperating with them in transition.
On Thursday, US election officials said the 2020 presidential election was the "most secure in American history", rejecting President Trump's fraud claims.

Court can reject anticipatory bail but cannot direct accused to surrender: SC
New Delhi (PTI): A court can reject anticipatory bail of an accused but it has no jurisdiction to direct him to surrender before the trial court, the Supreme Court has said.
A bench of Justices J B Pardiwala and Ujjal Bhuyan made the observation while hearing a plea filed by a man accused of cheating and forgery.
"If the court wants to reject the anticipatory bail, it may do so, but the court has no jurisdiction to say that the petitioner should now surrender," the bench said.
The Jharkhand High Court had rejected anticipatory bail plea of the accused and asked him to surrender and seek regular bail.
In this case, a complaint had been filed before a magistrate alleging offences under Sections 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), 420 (cheating), 467 (forgery of valuable security), 468 (forgery for purpose of cheating), 471 (using forged document) and 120B read with 34 of the IPC, in connection with a land dispute.
The high court had dismissed the second anticipatory bail application of the accused on the ground that no new circumstances were shown.
It had relied on its earlier order rejecting his first anticipatory bail plea, in which the court directed the petitioner to surrender before the trial court and seek regular bail in terms of the decision in Satender Kumar Antil v. CBI.
The top court said such a direction was wholly without jurisdiction and said that if a court chooses to reject anticipatory bail, it may do so, but it cannot compel the accused to surrender.
