I honestly think majority of people that voted for Biden was just to escape the constant bludgeoning by the media for 4 more years. I think this criticism rightly applies to a segment of the media, no doubt, but there's still quite a bit of righteous fact-finding by reporters being done out there. The problem is that investigative reporting has waned in popularity by comparison with the 24/7 exposure of televised editorialism. We need to move past that for sure. | ||

It will just be reporting a little bit less crazy. I guess you could say they had nothing else to report on due to no new wars being started lately. | ||

PA is starting to look like safe though which would be enough. AZ will hold as well i am inclined to think now. Checking AZ, Biden's lead is now under 40k, and Trump is getting very close to the 58% he needs to flip. Considering how many votes they still have to cast, it might even be the hardest state to call right now. Am I missing something about how the remaining votes are likely to lean? | ||

They sent 9K ballots off and there is a deadline for when they need to receive them back to be counted(sounds like that day is today from a quick glance at news articles ) Since that date hasn’t been reached yet they are outstanding ballots that could change the vote. Can’t speak to that best to find a real source and not me  | ||

Arizona has been a mail-in ballot state for a while now. It isn't something brand new for them. That is why the Republicans believe these mail-ins to lean to their favor. | ||

That's not quite accurate, litigation only results in a delay of other proceedings where a party successfuly moves for a TRO, temporary injunction, or a stay, a burden that Trump campaign lawyers haven't come close to meeting a single time yet before dismissal. Lawsuits or not, the electors will almost certainly vote on December 14. | ||

One Maricopa batch was like 52/48 Trump. That's real bad for his chances, and he now needs to hit over 58%. I think he needs 60% plus of all remaining ballots at this point. The most recent batch was all conservative counties. | ||

Cnn i do like but i guess that is more based on the fact that i have been watching them for over 20 years now. I dont like the way they where in the past 4 years bar a small amount of exceptions like Blitzer and King. Their constant bashing of Trump on any possible subject did annoy me a lot actually but looking back maybe they thought it was "needed" as a counterweight to Fox. The media landscape in the usa is somewhat different from the media landscape in northern europe where we have things like BBC (uk),"vpro" (the netherlands) and "canvas" (belgium) (these i watch most but there is more) which have very nuanced vieuws and reporting. ABC which i did discover during this election is quiet decent though. | ||

It's been called by at least three outlets. Decision Desk, Vox, and Business Times have all called it for Biden. Not calling it is just journalistic malpractice by Fox, MSNBC, CNN, et al. ABC has a long standing policy that they won't call an election that is <1% of the vote, which is the only reason I'm excluding them. The issue is that every second they delay calling it is one that lets these conspiracies get worse. | ||

The issue is that every second they delay calling it is one that lets these conspiracies get worse. What's worse is they're reaching into incredulity to find reasons not to call PA, which will give people incorrect expectations. I mean, in what universe will the provisional ballots, 40K of which are in Philly, gain Trump votes? Those are probably going to break 70-30 or 80-20 to Biden... | ||

No idea what they are doing.. | ||
