Tony I agree that "officially calling the election" is not the media's right or responsibility and no one who has seen history unfold would suggest the media can do so

But EVERY election gets "unofficially" called by the media...in fact it has always been a source of pride to be the first to call it

The media " called it" in 2016 and early in the AM of the next day Obama called Trump to congratulate him and Clinton also called him to concede the election to him and both wished Trump well

These are undisputable facts

Trump on the other hand took that same early morning time slot to claim massive voter fraud and will not accept anything until his legal challenges are exhausted.

It is certainly his right, and he can be as tenacious as he wants to be, but the big picture says the fat lady has sung here. That he cannot accept it is a testament to who he is. That he is still decrying voter fraud and rigged election and wants audits and recounts is a direct attack on America's electoral system. That some Reps are calling for votes to be set aside and that the Electoral College elect him is a major assault on Democracy.....not that I expect that to succeed...and the majority his lawsuits are being dismissed as fast as he is launching them. It is also a sign that even his key lawyers have withdrawn from cases. They place themselves in legal risk associating themselves with baseless claims and lies in front of the courts.

Georgia is in the middle of a recount...not because of fraud allegations, not because of political pressure by Reps, but because it was so close. But nationally DHS has called this the most secure election ever, and Georgia state officials are on record as saying no voter fraud of consequence exists

For you not to accept it is also your right....but you cannot be surprised that people will call you on it.

And why is Obama being elected twice such an anathema to you ...are you alleging his two elections were due to massive voter fraud....but then Trump was legit, and now Biden's is once again fraudulent???
