## Resource

CannCon and Chris Paul close out the week with a report claiming Fox fired Maria Bartiromo over leaked internal texts about the network's coverage of election fraud claims, then turn to a pair of contradictory court rulings that show just how uneven election law has become. Missouri's Supreme Court blocks a new congressional map after the primary already happened, while Justice Kavanaugh declines to put a citizens only voting amendment on Michigan's ballot despite organizers collecting a quarter million more signatures than required. The middle of the show digs into what CannCon sees as a coordinated push to drum up World War Three narratives, including Trump asking Europe to repay the US for Ukraine munitions. They wrap with a Columbia Journalism Review piece on New York's mayor paying friendly influencers to carry his messaging. Plenty of Friday banter throughout.
