CNN's election night coverage has always been stellar.

John King at the Magic Wall provides intriguing overviews of how election maps shape the results for each state. I remember in 2016 King showing how Hillary dominated an urban area but the individual smaller rural precincts slowly added up for Trump. Dems might win 65-35 in a large urban area, but 100 70-30 Trump precincts are what led to his victory. *I don't remember the exact numbers.

While Wolf Blitzer is a cranky old blowhard who has been complicit in the MSM's attempt to brainwash America, I'll miss his voice during tonight's coverage. He's kind of like Gary Danielson: I can't stand him, but it doesn't feel like true SEC football without his commentary on a CBS broadcast at 2:30pm.

Which networks/streaming services are y'all watching tonight?

CNN does a really good job of highlighting certain counties and districts, and how the results from there might inform us of other races. To me their election coverage is some of the best news coverage of any event that we get in the US, bar none.

No of that matters when the guest are constantly lying calling Trump Hitler and saying he is attacking women. Also saying he will ban abortion nationally.

CNN is by far the best network for a big breaking event because of their worldwide infrastructure. Any time a plane crashes or there’s an election or a war starts or muslims fly 767s into the world trade center you watch CNN to get the best coverage.

He's checking out early. Not all men in their upper 70s can hang late into the night.

It'll be Jake Tapper and Anderson Cooper. We'll see if they can carry the coverage the way Wolf did.

Legend has it Wolf is still asking John King to look for outstanding Hillary votes in North Carolina.

I'm a huge fan of John King on election night. I thought he was retiring or had already retired. Dude knows his shite and deals with facts.

The one remaining shining star at CNN...

Yep those journalists on CNN, MSNBC and their media friends live to call OMB all kinds of lovely names but then attack him about his word choices. They have no business being associated with the word journalism

The mute button and cc are useful when it's too one-sided.

I looked at their website to see if the melt had started.


Lead headline:

Trump is a convicted felon.

+1 for CNN/King.

But I also have to watch ABC and hopefully see Stephonlopous (sp) asking to see data in the Dem stronghold counties and being told "Most of those votes are in, not enough left to swing the state back to D".

Don't give CNN the ratings!
If they get poor ratings for the election results, it sends a message!
Tell those worthless liars we don't approve of their crap for the last 12 years of BS, propaganda, and misinformation.
They lied. Constantly. About everything.

Don't give them the ratings, and send a message.

Doing your job correctly one day out of 364 is not justification for keeping your job.
