Our family is planning to watch the election coverage together on Tuesday night. What do you recommend we watch? We’d like some good quality national coverage without getting bombarded by red politics. We don’t have cable TV, so are limited to streaming services.
This just sounds stressful.
Why not make batch of mulled wine, watch a film, wake up and check Reuters on Wednesday?
The outcome won’t differ. What does election coverage offer that is insightful and useful?
You just don’t get the same sense of despair if you don’t watch it live.
It’s also great excuse to drink while wallowing in dread. I have a bottle of gin set aside for the occasion.
What does election coverage offer that is insightful and useful?
Mainly an excuse to stay up past our bedtimes.
Election drinking bingo. Back to you, Wolf.
Family fun!
There are gonna be so many lawsuits this election we won’t know the outcome till Jan 7

Steve Kornacki, the MSNBC data guy, is pretty freaking stellar.
I’m glad at least one person decided to answer the question OP asked.
Yes, thanks!
Of course we’re not going to know the answer until January 7, but we’re staying up on Tuesday for the journey, not the destination.
PBS has excellent live coverage. It might be free on YouTube but you can access all of PBS’s videos stuff by donating to them. It’s a bit of an odd process because you donate to your local PBS but their streaming service is consolidated.
NPR also has good coverage if you want to play a board game or something while still following the insanity.
Save your mind. Just look at the newspaper the next day.

As a public broadcaster, CBC is less prone to sensationalism than its commercial counterparts (though it is not immune).
