Are ABC, CNN, MSNBC, AP waiting for Fox News to officially call it just for shîts and giggles?

I think the Joe will have a difficult job ahead of him to undo the damages caused by his predecessor. Rejoining the WHO, The Paris Climate Accord and do something to restore the laughable image of America across the world.

A certainly more difficult task will be dealing with a pandemic that is entirely out of control, and the his real legacy could be how he handles the deep racial divide that obviously still exists in America. That will be a huge task in itself and we'll have to wait and see how it's handled.

Same. But I think it's promising to see Biden voters out partying in the streets.

You're right re covid. I think Trump has destroyed any hope of cooperation from the population in dealing with that.

Do they? I thought they get rightly criticised for giving Rachel Maddow carte blanche to use their platform as her own personal soapbox.

I get it, you don't like Trump. I don't either. No obligation to cover his speech? He's the incumbent president in the midst of a neck and neck election count for the office of leader of the free world, why would you not cover that as a reputable media outlet? Regardless of whether the candidate is a moron or not.

I'll be glad to see Biden win but i just saw CNBC cut off Trump mid speech saying "we're interrupting the President's speech because what he's saying in large part is not true".

Let me decide that, as the viewer. Let me hear what the President is saying, true or not. Don't treat me like a fcking imbecile. The US media are an absolute disgrace, this fusion of entertainment and news is just something I can never warm to.

There has to be a limit to who or what is said on their airways.

The media wouldn't give a far right nutcase a platform for example to insult minorities.

Equally they shouldn't give the likes of Trump a platform to insult election workers who work damn hard for nothing or the American democratic process.

Its right he should be cut off.

Even by his standards he was extraordinarily bitter to the point I had to turn off the radio. I wont be tuning in for his slot again assuming he even returns after that episode.

Since when have TV networks been obliged to showcase a particular politician? CNN started cutting out from his "covid updates" when he turned them into election rallies. Last night was just an unstructured rant. I watched the whole thing and after 5 minutes he was going in circles. They have no obligation to show him. This is what happens in a democracy - he can say what he wants (within the law), we can choose to watch it or not, and networks can decide to show it or not.

In fairness the Trump supporters would probably be more akin to Charlottesville... The celebrations in Philadelphia and the likes is lovely more than anything.

One other thing in relation to broadcasting speeches from the white house on this. I'm pretty sure he's breaking the law in terms of using the white house as campaign headquarters.

yup. i saw nothing but joy and relief from those philly people dancing. the kind of scenes you see at the end of disaster movies when the asteroid is deflected or the aliens are beaten.
