Christ has anyone seen the Daily Fail? The bias is ridiculous....calling Biden a failure and running smear pieces. I’m not a huge Biden fan, but surely people don’t fall for this crap?! Surely they can see right through it...

Extrapolation versus percentages?

Well they are biased. Definitely. Coz if you read the small print rather than the bold caps!

@tobee

Changing again on percentages in Virginia but predicted Biden
Biden won Virginia. Trump has won Ohio, Texas and Florida. I'm wondering whats taking so long for them to call Trump in NC
BullBailey · 04/11/2020 05:20

@tobee I know they’re biased and they are with our own politics, all media outlets are, but it’s so blatant that surely people see it and don’t fall for it?

tobee · 04/11/2020 05:20

Thanks @Leaannb

Biden to speak shortly. Apparently a prearranged speech.

BroomStickMick · 04/11/2020 05:24

I'm so glad I rostered myself to work night shift tonight.

Can I ask a silly question... why do pp believe Biden isn't doing well, when he has 205 v Trump at 136?

tobee · 04/11/2020 05:25

Oh well it's not boring is it?

TeddyIsaHe · 04/11/2020 05:27

Not boring, but slightly terrifying!!

Because of the states and what their electoral colleges add up to and how they are likely to fall, I believe. The east coast states tend to be dem and the big mid west and southern maybe tend to be rep. California has loads of electoral college votes but by the time they come into play it's often all played out.
tobee · 04/11/2020 05:29

And the different time zones, state size, rural nature etc.

BroomStickMick · 04/11/2020 05:29

@tobee thank you!

Half past 5 here @Leaannb Shock

It's almost 6am where I am still watching

Igotthemheavyboobs · 04/11/2020 05:32

Just did an early cash in of my Trump bet, £18 up after a last minute bet last night. You can lose now Trump!

He is at 237 and Trump is at 217. Trump is forecasted to win the rest of the States. Wisconsin has called in the National Guard to jelp.qith their counting issue and Pennsylvania is saying some time tomorrow and NC has not certified NC's vote of Teump.winning

I know. I'm skipping with my son who lives in UK while I watch the results and he eats breakfast before going to work
tobee · 04/11/2020 05:37

That's interesting @Leaannb because they're saying 205 - 136 here on Sky News which explains the discrepancy.

tobee · 04/11/2020 05:39

Not sure why Biden is talking things up when all the polls are shut. Maybe to keep things steady?

More likely trying to keep peace. Protests are already starting
