Off topic, but I might as well say it here: I just tuned in to CNN: I think the way they cover the results is ridiculous. They just babble off random, pointless numbers without pause, with their fancy interactive maps in the background. They announce small changes with a sensationalism that's almost pathetic (KEY RACE ALERT! ALL OFF A SUDDEN Clinton takes the lead in Florida!! (by 20k votes... with a vote count of 30%). Very little actual, substantive discussion of key results to watch out for, of key states, ... One of the biggest news channels in the world should be able to do a bit better than that, IMO.

  One of the top stories on the homepage this afternoon was about how everyone in the Trump family was glancing over to see how the other members voted. Are grade school antics what the system has come down to?

    Well it was footage of him breaking the law which is slightly more interesting. But, yea he is an entertainer and knows how to work a room.

  Their function is to entertain, information is an afterthought. It is not a managerial decision, all TV is directed by ratings, "entertainment" is what people want, so "entertainment" is what they give to them.

    NBC news has reasonable coverage. Even Fox does it better. (As unbelievable as that is...) There's a reason I picked on CNN specifically.

      Watch the CBC News live stream with Peter Mansbridge, it's quite calm, rational and hype free.

  I tried watching CNN once, when I was stuck somewhere. Im not from US of A. It was a painful experience, realising just how much of a piece of trash that channel is They would spend riddiculous amount of time on hearsay or drama, then just switch to some kind of "news" stripped of any context one could use to actually get some information
