What the media is doing right now

Is so disingenuous and frankly disgusting. They know the results. Why won’t they call? Oh that’s right, money. If they declare the election they lose viewers that’s the only reason they haven’t called. And at the same time, this ties into partially why trump was allowed so much leeway. He’s ratings regardless of how vile he is. The longer this goes on, the longer it allows the republicans voice to spread lies and misinformation. Anyway... rant done. Haha!

When Biden was down about 10%.

Timing is different of course but otherwise what is the logical explanation of not calling the race now?

I can't help but think if the roles were reversed, they'd have called it. It's almost like they're hoping Trump will concede first.

He will never concede, he may say he lost but in that process he will lay the blame on everything and everyone
