There was an interesting moment on Monday as the hosts and guest on MSNBCs 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), Trumps speech would be blocked for NBC viewers.
Well be doing coverage on Peacock and we can assure you if Trump declares victory well say, dont take the feed. Its not going to happen. We wont be part of any disinformation campaign, well be doing election coverage until midnight or whenever is over.
The point tracked a statement from Biden campaign manager Jen OMalley Dillon who declared that [u]nder no scenario will Donald Trump be declared a victor on election night, and thats 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...

Nobody watches MSNBC, but I sure will when Trump is winning.
Wow, that combined with this "We won't air a victory speech" is some real winner talk LOL.
MSDNC will be reporting that Biden is the real President for the next four years.
Oh liberals don’t care about chasing away conservative customers. They are that intolerant.

It likely won’t happen tonight. Too many loose ends....and all the “experts” need the moments to arouse the protestors (rioters).
Just in case I accidentally flip to their channel I have MSNBC and CNN blocked. Im kinda like Jack at Twitter but suppressing Libtard views.
So this only affects their 750,000 viewers.
They will have their best rating tonight because Trump voters will be parched for liberal tears!
Or washing their hair, or sorting their sock drawer....
MSNBC will be the snowflake safe room.
All their viewers will likely have jumped out a window by then anyway, so what’s the difference.

Sounds like joe is due to change his sanitary napkin.
Would anybody notice?
‘cuz we don’t want any good ratings...
Our Attorney General in PA has already set the narrative that any Trump win here will be illegitimate, so I expect they will run with that.
Joe is the Director and Producer of MSNBC?
I can imagine a situation—where Trump has won—outright—enough ECVs to win...and everyone would cover it.
This “might” not be about Penn.
