ROGER KIMBALL: Extraordinary delusions and the madness of crowds, New York Times edition. And no?

By Glenn Reynolds

ADVERTISEMENTS

ROGER KIMBALL: Extraordinary delusions and the madness of crowds, New York Times edition.

And now that we are embarked on the 2020 presidential election, the Times took to Twitter to tell the world who announces the winner of the election. Why, it is the Times and its sister leftwing organs!

Yes, that?s right, there it was in white and black on Twitter. ?The role of declaring the winner of a presidential election in the US falls to the news media,? it said. ?The broadcast networks and cable news outlets [which ones, do you suppose? Fox? OAN? Breitbart?] have vowed to be prudent. Here?s how it will work.? There follows a link.

Some upstanding citizens took a screenshot of this hilarious specimen of hubristic overreach, because if you look for it now what you see is ?This tweet has been deleted.?

As well it should have been. The unfounded arrogance of the tweet is one for the history books.

It?s all of a piece, of course, with Hillary Clinton?s advice to Joe Biden not, under any circumstances, to concede tonight. It?s also of a piece with the attorney general of Pennsylvania?s assurance that Donald Trump cannot win Pennsylvania. (How does he know?)

How, indeed?
