Who to watch

[Patb78]

Who are you going to watch Tuesday night? I’m probably going with MSNBC for national results, and switching occasionally to a local station (WFMY in Greensboro) for local/state election results.

I’ll follow right here in one tab and likely the AP in another. I can’t tolerate any talking-heads-at-a-table shows.

It's probably no secret to our Ziz community that I primarily watch MSNBC when I watch cable news. Big fan of Rachel Maddow. So definitely going to go with them for election coverage. They've got Rachel Maddow, Steve Kornacki, and many of the other primetime anchors doing shifts. IMO, It's hard to beat Kornacki.

I'll switch back and forth b/w here, MSNBC and Fox. I saw that Brian Williams will be anchoring coverage on Amazon, I'll definitely try to catch that. Love me some Brian Williams...

Major flipper. All the stations.

The election night newscast will begin at 5 p.m. Eastern time on Nov. 5. It will be available for free to anyone with a device who logs on to amazon.com: no subscription or log-on will be necessary.

I know some folks don’t like kornacki but I find him likeable and understand his terminology the most, so probably him.

I'll be flipping in between MsNBC, CNN, and probably ABC for one of the major network's coverage. If it looks like things going in Kamala's favor, I'll probably mostly confine it to CNN (to watch Scott Jennings sweating it) and Fox to see them whining and crying. If it's going in Trump's favor, I don't know what I'll do then. I guess confine myself to MsNBC to get measured evaluation of what went wrong.

Steve Kornacki. May even cosplay in khakis for the evening.

If interested, this is a link to Kornacki's book which came out a couple years ago, The Red & The Blue. IMHO, it's a terrific read, and does a very good job of mapping out the origins of our modern polarized political climate.

Kornacki is fine but I don't understand the attempt to elevate him to legendary status...

 

[Cappy the Stool Man]

MSNBC, mostly for Kornacki.

I accepted a booking on a local film production - a rare leave my couch job for me - just so I didn't have to be home much of the day doom scrolling and watching the same 5 polling place checkins from reporters repeated every hour. I ended election day 2020 with a panic attack and an early bed time because I just couldn't handle the possibility of another 4 years of Trump. Anxiety medicine and a work diversion will be differences between then and now for me.

It also pays ridiculously well so that's a plus too.

This will be me. Love Maddow, but, Ima big fan of John King on CNN too.
Melber, ODonnell. Psaki Michael Steele all mesh and blend well in a large presentation of multiple personalities.
