The one who prioritised his union mates for multi million dollar quarantine security contracts instead of police and military? Some will say the critism is justified, especially when their ability to earn and provide for their families has been hampered or quashed. The mainstream press we are exposed to are left leaning by a long shot. Post ten positive Trump articles or opinion pieces from the likes of CNN, MSNBC, Washington Post, NYT etc from the last five years. No one will be able to, because everything they’ve put out has been negative. Shouldn’t be hard to find ten articles from what is suppose be an impartial media right. |

It is inevitable, but not official, it is official when the delegates cast their votes

a landslide is like what Reagan did to Carter the last sitting President to lose, electoral college was 489 to 49 and over 10% more of the popular vote. Any landslide can be called in the first day. This was nothing like that.

It is because ther is no electoral authority like here. The result is only official when the delegate passes on thats states electoral college votes. In some states they can even not follow what the voters voted for. although that rarely happens. So since there is no one to call it, the media have become the unofficial determiner.

It's a bloody mad house there... So let me get this straight. It's not official?? Worst president in modern American history? Really? He makes enough money already, and didn't draw a wage for being president. Why bloody bother??

Why bother, you say?
It has kept the media and social networks occupied for a number of years. That’s sort of like doing your mates a favour. |

https://www.forbes.com/sites/andrews...h=550aa5ef365b But you're right, it was nothing like that. Trump was just ...exaggerating. Because California hasn't finished counting yet some are speculating Joe's lead could be as much as 7 million votes. Landslide? |

"The virus will disappear", as over a 1000 people die each day...
How is the media supposed to respond? Look up verified Trump lies. If any Australian politician were as dishonest as Trump the media would rip into them as well. Remember Bill and his "sexual relations", he didnt get a free pass. Its not just left and right, its about the truth.

Be intetesting to see how the new president will affect us.
The Trump initiated trade war has cost Austrlia billions and jobs. Scomo has followed. Now we are also in recession due to Covid. Presumably Biden will scale back on China, wonder where we will stand?

Trump wanting to take the result straight to the Supreme Court - I wonder if Trump has any mates at the US Supreme Court? Associate Justices that he appointed in?
If it doesn't make it to the Supreme Court, has he got any mates at the Courts Of Appeals? Judges that he appointed? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...y_Donald_Trump ![]() |

I think the right thing has happened for America . They need someone who will act with a fair bit of decorum and respect . That was sadly lacking for the current President .
Trump did have some good economic policy success and such but he also alienated a lot of people enough to want to vote him out in record numbers . He also said some stupid things and dismissed people who showed they disagreed with his opinions..Was my way or the highway I'm afraid , For me though , lack of proper Covid 19 action apart , the day he made a fuss about dealing with North Korea Kim Jeong Un or whatever the dictator's name is was pretty disgraceful . Utter condemnation for the man that has persecuted his own people to a pulp not shaking hands and exchanging platitudes would have shown Trump a lot better.. Hopefully a settling Joe Biden whatever you think of him will at least set the USA up as a more tolerant and less divided country again .....somehow . |

A lot being made of the media calling the election. They always call the election based on projections
![]() The counts would have to be way out for any recount to have any effect or they will need to have a huge amounts of votes tossed out. There is no way in hell that the US Supreme Court will be quick to do that. |

And just so you know, I wanted Trump out, so it is not a red or blue thing, just a balance view with no TDS.

I really hope they can knuckle down on the pandemic, now the electoral shouting is starting to fade.

I've been watching Fox though the election count and it's kind of funny watching the Trump team blasting them for analysing states are being won when Trump was wanting to contest them. I saw Insiders this morning and they had Krudd and Malcom on there. The topic of media partisanship was covered and Malcom had some reasonable views on it.. giving the examples of Sky/Fox vs Guardian. Make of it what you will but I tend to agree with his opinions on the matter. The relationship between Fox/Trump going forward will be interesting.

Let me ask you - can you find 10 articles where Trump is telling the truth and the media is lying?

Journalists in the most part are products of the tertiary education system and so are left leaning, at least until they get some life experience, hit 45 and many head towards the middle from there. The media is generally owned by older rightish types, so that is why you find rightish editorial but leftish general reporting. All in my humble opinion of course.

Whats this I hear about, if the court cases have merit and Biden can't be inaugurated in Jan because its still ongoing, then the speaker of the house acts as the President?!?!? Talk about a double whammy for Donald if that is accurate...
