I think that was pretty much expected.
It’s much more fun to watch the 1980 election coverage, because they probably thought Jimmy Carter had a good shot.
You can see the despair as the night progresses.

The media may have held out hope for Carter up until Election Day 1980, but by the time they went on the air in the evening, they knew it was over.
John Chancellor of NBC (see link at post 5 below) essentially called the race in less than one minute after coming onto the air.
