There was an interesting moment on Monday as the hosts and guest on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” were discussing the coverage of the election. Willie Geist raised the possibility that President Trump could declare victory on election night before all the votes have been counted. Joe Scarborough responded that NBC would simply make a Twitter-like determination and not carry the speech. It would not be treated as obvious news but rather “disinformation” . . . regardless of what has transpired on election day.
What is ironic is the Geist had just slammed Trump for making plans to send in lawyers “no matter what happens.” Without missing a beat, Scarborough then announced that no matter what happens on the election (like a surprise victory), Trump’s speech would be blocked for NBC viewers.
“We’ll be doing coverage on Peacock and we can assure you if Trump declares victory we’ll say, don’t take the feed. It’s not going to happen. We won’t be part of any disinformation campaign, we’ll be doing election coverage until midnight or whenever is over.”
The point tracked a statement from Biden campaign manager Jen O’Malley Dillon who declared that “[u]nder no scenario will Donald Trump be declared a victor on election night, and that’s fundamentally how we want to approach tomorrow.” I can understand the mathematical point but the Biden campaign does not make such decision. Moreover, this appears only a bar on a Trump victory speech. Some Democrats like James Carville are predicting that they will know by 10 pm. I would find it difficult to see a scenario where an election night victory could be declared but we do not know what will occur today in terms of any surges or landslide. More importantly, the issue raised on Morning Joe goes to the coverage not the claims...

All females near to Joe Scarborough please take care.
Subject has been known to become violent to females when angry.
That's either PsyOps (given the voter suppression taking place in some PA precincts) or real trouble for the Biden campaign.
BFAC: Wow. Do they know something???
Bingo!
It's going to be interesting watching them [the corrupt DNC Media, Fecesbuch & Twatter] try to hold the line past 8-9pm tonight.
Good. Fewer viewers of this flaming asshole is good for the country.
Pull their broadcasting license.
Scarborough is accepting his parties defeat. He is doing this knowing his face will be used as mems for years
But we will air Biteme’s victory speech even though he loses.
Are they sick or just plain evil?
I vote evil.

I am going with Frank on this.
They are angry baby losers.
If Biden wants to come out with a big celebratory event because he is in the lead later tonight, you know these guys would air it.
Let them continue to suk.
Hmmm now why would they be so worried about that?
Joe, I’m OK with airing Trump’s victory speech at 00:01 Wednesday.
Cause you’ll be in jail!
They’re just trying to avoid the on-air meltdowns like last time.
No, they are stupid. Working for their own demise by losing more than half their audience.
Nobody would see it on that channel anyway!
I, like most Trump voters, are fresh outta ____, Joe.
They always “think” they know something, but it’s usually the opposite what they thought.
Nobody watches MSDNC outside of certified lunatics anyway so who cares?
If MSNBC or Joe Scarborough air Trump’s victory speech would we really watch MSNBC for that event?
I don’t have MSNBC or cable at my house, I would be able to watch anyway.
That is okay! Don’t watch you anyhow!
