I am tired of having to listen to all the side theories of every major news outlet and their interpretations of the votes as they come in. Is there anyone better than another to get more solid info and less bullshit?
No. There is no such thing as unbiased information. Even the numbers are gathered by a certain methodology which will have bias if not explicitly political then towards the faith in that methodology.
The number of votes that each candidate gets is unbiased information. It is determined by using addition to count them, which is also an unbiased methodology.
Bro they all rely on the same API and they don’t get interpret by anyone. Shure there are some dodgy sites that make shit up but the major news outlets don’t.
Counting and addition a methodology?
The only thing might be the “red mirage / blue wave” from 2020 caused by the fact Trump told his followers to only vote in person and the Dems told people to vote by mail as there was a pandemic going on. This caused the mail in ballots to be predominantly dem and the in-person ballots to be predominantly rep. The mail in ballots in some states can only be counted after the polls close… creating the illusion of impropriety if you don’t understand what’s going on. Trump and his team pushed on this specifically to their uninformed voter base.
GroundNews does breakdowns of the range of treatments of the same events being reported on throughout the various major news companies across the political spectrum
You can try The Free Press their coverage starts at 7pm Eastern tomorrow.
Consider the UK’s BBC and the guardian. They do it well and the perspective is just a little outside the American bubble. Used them and their live threads the past two elections.
I’d recommend video streams from BBC, Sky News and Channel 4 all in the UK. Channel 4 is partnering with CNN for data and shared stories, and their UK election coverage earlier this year was well regarded. TV news in the UK has to be impartial by law so they will not take a side in the election. They will however voice opinions from both sides.
Having said that though all coverage will endlessly speculate all night on what ever result means because that’s the nature of elections and filling air time.
Regarding the Guardian, that is not regulated but it is a good quality broadsheet. It is left leaning and effectively supports Harris but it’s coverage will still be good quality and not as partisan in the style of US media. But expect it to be biased somehwta in Harris’ favour.
“Welcome back to the BBC…”
proceed with 7 minutes of on-air staring at the camera in silence as intense looping breaking news music plays. Then the camera just starts drifting around the studio showing the floor, and ceiling. All while the anchorwoman remains still, silent, and emotionally dead inside.
If you don’t know what I’m referencing, just watch any youtube video called something like “news fails compilation”.
They’ll just be 30 minute videos, with 7 minutes being one continuous moment as I’ve described. It’s so hard to watch because it just KEEEEPS ON GOOOOIIIIING!!!
You should have seen how bad that kind of stuff was when satellite TV was new. Channels would broadcast straight out into the airwaves and not bother to cut the feed. There’s some old fox news clips for example of the guy losing his shit when he kept flubbing his lines. Can’t remember his name.
Uhhhhhh…are you talking about the Bill O Reiley outburst about Sting? Then he’s yelling at the teleprompter guy, because he’s an idiot who works in television who doesn’t know the phrase “play us out”?
Because that had nothing to do with Fox News…or Satalite broadcasts. Those were supposed to be pretaped bumpers for the closing segment of Entertainment Tonight. But he goes off on a hissy fit, and then starts yelling “THIS THING SUCKS! IT SUCKS!!! PLAY US OUT!!! WHAT DOES THAT MEAN??? FUCK IT!!! WE’LL DO IT LIVE!!! I’LL WRITE IT, YOU SHOOT IT!!! FUCKING THING SUCKS!!!”
This was the 90s, before Bill O’Reiley was a Fox News talking head.
Unless you’re talking about something else. Which could be the case.
PBS will have live coverage. Also available streaming.
Nice to point out a public service, as their less likely to act in favor of whatever gets a sponsorship (even though they still do sponsors/ads to a degree)
This show was brought to you by viewers like you.
You’re welcome.
C-Span will have election night coverage:

Apple News if you have an iPhone or Apple device. They just show a live activity and that is it.

Most places will have trustworthy polling data. Even FOX doesn’t mess with the results night of since it’s kinda hard to deny reality hard enough to overshadow the live numbers.
No. That isn’t how elections work. Only once polling places close will the totals begin and only on a state by state basis will the totally tally’s be known.
Your going to have to wait about a week to know.
County by county
Likely longer as the “stop the steal” nonsense lawsuits start rolling through
In terms of unbiased and factual numbers about the electoral college that isn’t part of the reporting. I like the minute to minute reporting as much as most other people. It’s just not relevant for the process.
Won’t stop Trump from declaring victory at noon, and have his shoving some hack, crayon transition plan at any doting media outlets that will take them, because if he can get even the most ridiculous challenge to the SCOTUS, that’s the ball game. They’ve grown far bolder at flexing their power for the wealth class than even 2000.
The question will be how much the media indulges his clear, intentional deception as the “candidate claims victory, stay tuned for further details.”
Nothing ever stops him from making a fool of himself. We’d all be a lot better off if everyone ignored him. We would have avoided 2016 entirely if news channels had treated him like the joke he is, instead of pouncing on his every word.

I’ll probably be watching Breaking Points on Youtube. The hosts aren’t unbiased, but they don’t pretend to not be and provide a good balance overall.
Politico has a map and score that get updated https://www.politico.com/2024-election/results/
Besides pbs Probably ProPublica
You can look up some exit polls but they might also not be fully accurate but give a good picture of what’ll happen. The only accurate way to get the result is to wait for the electoral committee to cunt the vote, especially in an election this tiiiiiiigtt.
