FRONTLINE is justifably famous. As the longest-running investigative series on TV, the PBS show has won numerous Peabody and Emmy awards. Sadly, FRONTLINE should not get any awards for its March 29 report "Plot to Overturn the Election." This documentary is another example of mainstream media's general inability to get things fully accurate when it comes to Donald Trump in general and the 2020 election in particular.

Thankfully, reporters A.C. Thompson, Doug Bock Clark, Alexandra Berzon, and Kirsten Berg do some things right. First, they recognize Patrick Byrne as one of the key leaders in protesting the election of Joe Biden. They allow viewers to hear Byrne's voice and film him receiving praise from his many fans. This is a lot better than ignoring him (as mainstream media basically did through 2021) or dismissing him through cheap attack. Second, the FRONTLINE piece has interviews with other significant figures, including Sheryl Guy (Antrim County clerk), Professor Alex Halderman (expert on voting systems), Joshua Merritt (computer analyst) and Mark Finchem (Arizona House rep). Third, while General Michael Flynn, Sidney Powell, Lin Wood, Phil Waldron, and Doug Logan refused to be interviewed, FRONTLINE captures some key public quotes from them.
