This kind of thing is posted literally every election. The networks mock up aome graphics and some idiot thinks it’s a conspiracy. Look it up. Happened with Trump, too.


almost certainly gave GWB florida and hampered recount efforts as well. One network tried to be the one to "break the news" and the rest followed suit on very little verifiable field info.

Uhh... everybody knows MSNBC is biased to the left. This really isn't a great example of that bias though.


Lmao!

You seriously have no issue with them doing this? Not a single one?

you realize of course that literally every single news network makes mock graphics for every notable race, then updates them once the votes come in and posts them, right?

this was prob 1 of 50 graphics MSNBC made for tonight, fox news has 50, CNN has 50, ABC has 50, etc. The graphics artists do these then send them along and the network quickly updates the numbers.

do you honestly think this means they "make their own news". if so you should research how a news network works, they do about 50% of the work up front then adjust based on what happens. its one of the reasons a lot of their reporting seems out of touch, they plan for the expected result and are often wrong. its all a gamble to provide us with instant gratification news, and both sides are equally guilty.

"trolling" on subjects like this lacks nuance when carried out like this. It's the Jaime Kennedy of political discourse, on the nose hackery that masquerades as comedic genius.

Let's just think about it practically... putting forth that graphic as an actual vote tally(with Gillum up) would discourage ignorant Democratic voters from voting. Either he's up, or he already won, so why get off my ass and vote for him? So, there's no reason to think it was intentional.

On top of that, I'm just saying that virtually no one thinks MSNBC is unbiased.

You've really lowered yourself as a poster post-Trump... or maybe I just didn't notice before because we usually agreed.

"lol u responded" trolling is for people with an extra chromosome

"lol i convinced you i was serious" trolling is legitimate.

You responded thinking I was actually serious and it wasn't just me trolling. I mean to be that dense that even meme arrows weren't enough for you.
