for whatever reason, the media decided in unison that today was the day to declare Biden the winner. The news all day has shifted into election night mode, in which they are talking about what Biden will do, who will be in his cabinet, etc. The media have decided this election is over.
I know nothing is official yet in any state. I’m just saying the media decided in concert to declare it’s over. The fact that there are ongoing challenges to be made to various states is ignored as the media decided today was the day to end the election.

Oh, I know the reason. Trump's rocky relationship with the media since announcing his candidacy in 2015. That and his tendency to kick over the table when he catches the press playing dirty. Look at what's happened just within the last month. He walked out on Leslie Stahl's interview (a la Nicolas Sarkozy) and then released the video on the internet. That may have caused 60M to take a ratings hit because you didn't have to watch CBS that night to see what happened. Brilliant and unprecedented! I'll bet CBS was ticked off royally by that, and all the other networks took note.
Also the treatment that Chris Wallace got after the disaster that was the first debate between Trump and Plugs. There are a lot of pompous Ted Baxter anchors out there whose teeth were set on edge by all of this.
The presstitutes close ranks when they feel that their esteemed profession is being threatened. It crosses all network and ideological lines. They all have it in for Trump, and this is their revenge.
