Will the media call the race for Joe early?

I could see them calling it within the first hour of the first polls closing in order to suppress turnout in other states then having to backtrack it later.

Do you mean like when the exit polls showed an easy win for HRC in Florida...only to slowly and steadily watch the giddy faces of the media turn to horror once the actual numbers started showing the race to be much closer (and eventually in favor of Trump)?

There is a coordinated effort to create the impression that Biden has won.

Quick calls of Biden states. No calls in Fl, Tx and Ga to make Trump's electoral vote totals look low throughout the night.

Emphasis on huge numbers of mail votes they will say are likely to favor Biden once all have been counted.

It's likely Biden wins the popular vote and they will emphasize this like it actually means something.

Plenty of asking about Trump's plan to concede or unwillingness to concede.

Huge marches starting the day after election or maybe even election night in DC.

Yes pretty much like that. And I expect exit polls to heavily favor Biden due to cancel culture

I think they’ll call it early on and say it’s a Biden landslide then the returns start coming in and the melt will be better than 2016 when Trump wins

I don't think so. Numbers coming out of Fl will be overwhelmingly in Trump's favor as will NH. That will set the tone.

All of this 1000% they want confusion, fear, and unrest.

They fall for the inaccurate exit polls again and will melt at 9:00 pm.

Absolutely will. Happened in '16 and I expect it to be much worse this time around.

they wont call it officially but by the end of the night Trump will have the EC lead and they will all say that once all mail in ballots are counted that Biden will take the lead.

This is why we need just one national election system instead of 50 individual national election systems. A national system would dictate all laws about early voting, absentee voting, mail-in voting, etc. I have no idea just how many different laws 50 states have that is geared towards just one national election. I do know we have an insane and archaic system was past its time.

Tell us one thing the media has done/not done that makes you think there is a limit to their depravity.
