I thought this article from yesterday was interesting on this matter
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/nov/03/donald-trump-us-election-victory-speech-misinformation“TV channels would be under pressure to air such an event on grounds that it is “news”, while aware that it amounted to dangerous misinformation that could stir violence across the nation and undermine the democratic process.”
That speech was utterly incoherent. Pence’s was, surprisingly, worse. But the key thing is that news stations were saying they’d switch off if Trump claimed victory. They didn’t.
