Does Electoral College end election for conservative media?
Read full article: Does Electoral College end election for conservative media?โAs conservative media proliferated, it put a lot more pressure on the hosts to move to the right and embrace warfare politics,โ Rosenwald said. This is a business.โHemmer said she expects the Electoral College vote will begin to shift the narrative from โthe election is undecided" to โthe election was stolen.โThe difficulty of that transition was evident in coverage of the Electoral College voting. With Congress meeting Jan. 6 to formally count the Electoral College vote, Kelly said, โthe way I read it, we won't have a president-elect until then.โCNN treated it like a second election night, keeping a running tally of Electoral College votes on the screen. The Electoral College vote led Bret Baier's newscast, which was not a given considering COVID-19 vaccinations began Monday. Meanwhile, daytime anchor Bill Hemmer's hourlong newscast didn't even mention the Electoral College.

Show your work: AP plans to explain vote calling to public
Read full article: Show your work: AP plans to explain vote calling to publicThe AP plans to write stories explaining how its experts make decisions or why, in tight contests, they are holding back. โThe general public has a more intense desire to understand it at a nitty-gritty level,โ Buzbee said. The closer a race is, the more AP's decision desk relies on actual votes rather than VoteCast. The AP's sprawling election night operation also compiles the vote from across the United States, as it has since 1848. The AP's vote calls were 99.8% accurate in 2016, flawless in calling presidential and congressional elections in each state.

Read full article: Charlize Theron had doubts about playing Megyn Kelly in 'Bombshell'(CNN) - Charlize Theron is someone who dives into the characters she plays with everything she's got -- whether its an infamous female serial killer or a glossy anchorwoman.

In "Bombshell," Margot Robbie also stars as a young producer who looks to have a future on camera.
