Once again, NPR will rely on The Associated Press to provide election results and race calls.
Only when AP is fully confident a race has been won – defined most simply as the moment a trailing candidate no longer has a path to victory – will we make a call. In the race for president in 2016, that moment came at 2:29 a.m. ET the day after Election Day. Our APNewsAlert put it simply:"WASHINGTON – Donald Trump elected president of the United States.
The AP will also have information on voter preferences from AP VoteCast, a massive survey that has replaced traditional exit polls for the AP, NPR and other outlets. But that survey is never the only factor in calling a race.
The best part is if Biden wins, npr will whisper softly and carry his water for four years.
The associated press is fake news.
“We will not report the news we don’t like.” Signed, The MSM
Anyone who gets their news from you or the ap are poorly informed.
What's the plan. Put all leftists in a coma till 2024 so they can avoid another season of 'Not my president?'
This is the same AP whose style guide just defined riots out of existence?
Is NPR allowed to discriminate against news organizations as a publicly funded entity of the US government? What about UPI? Reuters? JTA? Fourth Estate?
We are to rely on an entity that changed the definition of 'preference' on the fly to accurately report election results.
So, don't tune in, because we're not going to report the news. Good business model.
Fine with me. I haven’t listened to you since about 2001.
NPR spends a lot of time protecting its listeners. You must think they're really gullible.
Really! The AP is no longer a trustworthy news site
Aaaaaaand that’s why I no longer listen religiously like I used to. I’ve found the whole network to be a waste of time. Enjoy your koolaid drinking
Yeah...you have heard of this one. Liar,liar, pants on fire.
It does appear that Biden will get away with taking a bribe once again! Are democrats happy about that?
Twerp!
Pravda and Goebbels are proud of you.
😂🤣
Thank goodness!
Precision like 2016? Hahaha
Yes, thank you.
OnPointRadio That is good to know. Still won't change my mind not to listen to anything tomorrow. I just cannot do it with my anxiety.
Pretty high tech. Crayons on a map? Glad to see my tax dollars are well spent...
I’m confounded by the number of folks in these comments being mad that wants to present reliable, truthful Election2020 data. Like, are y’all on crack? Or just hypocrites? MAGA ?
No the AP really doesn’t have that track record in recent years. Of course vote tallying is usually available on the different state’s websites which is official even if incorrect.
The AP can no longer be trusted.
Your credibility has diminished. You took a partisan stance and now you sit with egg on your face.
Thank you for remaining a reliable news source in the midst of so much inaccuracy the past last four years. I have counted on your news programming and WNYC again, Thank you!
Twitter should freeze his account if Trump declares prematurely
Works for me.
Defund NPR!
Cko
Whatever
mechelleh Yeah. You’re both owned by the same racketeers.
Thank you NPR! One of the last news programs I still listen to. NEWSY is good as well.
AP, Reuters, & NPR are my preferred news sources. They seem to be objective, centrist, and thorough, a rare combo in media these days.
This will go on your tombstone
Obamacare Its a cashcow for doctors and insurers downloads help for the poor to over $80k earning families NOT the rich. Kickbacks inflated costs balloon premiums and deductibles
That was a great and interesting podcast
Sorry, but we're turning Vt red this year.
Lol sure thing bro
Thank you!
We need to defund NPR.
rcallimachi In other words: there's no point in listening to NPR/PBS because one can just monitor the AP and obtain the same information about the election's outcome or lack thereof.
Good but be careful about those too.
rcallimachi Listen to the 'press role & impacts' part of this discussion: Saying nothing will play into DJT's hand! It will let him declare victory in his own & claim foul when/if the results don't go his way. Then SCOTUS/House will *give* him the presidency.
LOL
The AP usually gets it wrong
Everything was going so good, until you decided to justify this statement with a comment about how AP has a record of precision. Oh, and “caution”. Which was on display as AP reported thousands of cautious bullshit stories about Russian collusion, Sandmann, Kavanaugh, etc.
rcallimachi Can you also wait until polls close on the west coast? I think early reporting sways many voters. If a voter thinks it’s a done deal one way or another, that voter may not see a reason to vote at all.
Wait so if someone lies every single day you won’t just repeat those lies?
rcallimachi thanks npr
um No, your stories/opinions would say otherwise
Like when the AP preemptively called the 2016 primary the night before the biggest voting day of the entire primary with enough delegates in play to change the outcome forcing states to move their primary date to prevent the AP from rigging the primary again?
'Precision and caution' We're only counting what the left MSM sends us!! They nailed the 2016 done to the inch. It's the only media we trust
That’s hilarious! They’re so partisan. Looks like you all need to lose funding
rcallimachi The AP just a day ago was excusing a beheading in France. You might want to reconsider the AP's exercise of precision and caution.
rcallimachi You mean the AP that recently blamed France’s colonialism for a jihadist murder of innocent people?
We need Subaru safe spaces!!!
AP is a racket
rcallimachi Oh Please, every major network has an election desk as cautious as you, especially this year. No worries. But maybe your twitter headline writer needs more supervision
rcallimachi Lol except when it declared Hillary winner before California & 4 other states had voted using super delegates 🙄🙄🙄
'Journalism'
Defund immediately.
stateofohioshow
sarahmccammon I really appreciate how well they present results, even down-ballot!
NPR won’t be able to help but deliver biased reporting
Who cares what you report lol
🙈🙉🙊
Good! 👍
Maura, and others will be crying in the back room.
And just ANOTHER reason I LOVE NPR!!!!
The actual votes decide the election. Shocking that NPR doesn’t know that.
Why don't you just get your results directly from China? defundNPR
Where is your commitment to not RT, quote, tweet or amplify in any way, shape or form, any candidate claiming victory before every single vote has been counted?
Defund NPR
oh
Thank you 🇺🇸
You have my respect!! I hope more news organizations take this position. Thank you.
Because AP is so reliable 🙄
Ah the fake news
Tell us about that laptop Russia hoaxers
THIS is why I rely on for my news! I know many people think NPR is liberally-bent but I think they are as close to unbiased as it gets!
I’ll take slow and fact checked over “BREAKING! 🚨🚨🚨 HOT!! 🔥THIS JUST IN 💥☄️” any day. Thank you .
Why have you not always done this? Let this be your practice going forward. Thank you.
You’ve been precisely normalizing this fascist takeover for the past four years.
AP defended radical islam beheadings.
NPR will control what you hear and what you don't hear. Which is why I don't listen to NPR.
asmamk Trolls are all over this thread.
You rely on AP? The same AP that says France deserved the beheading of a school teacher because of its history? DefundNPR
That means that you're wasting my tax $$ by not reporting actual news but rather using the liberal playbook. I'll be contacting my Senators and Representative to defund NPR since you're not doing the job that you claim to do in the 'public interest'. PravdaMedia
This article always makes me laugh at our trusted news media Beyond BuzzFeed: The 10 worst, most embarrassing U.S. media failures on the Trump-Russia story by Glenn Greenwald
NPR is terrible
Now I am more confident Trump will win in a landslide! Yeee-ha! Liberals tears 😭
Not sure which I trust less. NPR or the AP.
Why, because you can't control the fake news?
DefundNPR
Who cares?
except in the last 2 election cycles when it was completely wrong
They were all so right last time.
Yeah your audience can’t handle that
Weird flex for a major media outlet to advertise inadvance that their election night reporting would be one-sided and incomplete, but ok!
Oh, and how accurate were they in 2016? in the polling? in the obvious bias to leftist propaganda? DEFUND NPR, just another Democrat agent... should be charged with campaign finance violations.
This AP? DefundNPR
Defund NPR
Journalism is dead and you are part of the problem. Get over your feelings and repost the facts. Nobody care what you think but what is actually happening.
FAKE NEWS
And we know it hat precision and caution are the hallmarks of NPR
DefundNPR
AP was the first to call President-elect Trump in 16
Pravda would be proud! has surpassed the level of propaganda the Soviets could have managed.
Ah yes, the organization that just said French victims of Islamist beheadings deserve it. Good call.
DefundNPR
Nobody goes to NPR for election results.
You don’t dictate shit
So I should just watch the AP feed instead?
Please have your crying towels ready and near by election Eve. Don’t act like your shocked and surprised, you clowns are doing the same exact thing again this year. It’s hilarious
You take money from the chicoms.
And so it begins..
lol
I miss Garrison Keillor and Lake Woebegone.
Can’t wait to hear you all crying Tuesday night, it’s going to be hilarious when Biden wins less than 10 states.
Good job (as always) NPR!
DefundNPR
Apart from Steve Innskeep they are center-ish. Innskeep is SO left biased it’s almost funny.
Are you kidding me? They just published an article defending beheadings in France. 🤦🏻♀️
And it is a pro Biden outlet as is PBS.
They’re all in on fighting Trump lol. Don’t worry maybe he’ll get sick of winning and not go for a third term
Defund NPR.
Why not cover the Hunter Biden story? Because AP told you not too TrumpLandslide2020
Smart.
billnapier NPR is a wholly owned subsidiary of Koch Enterprises and spent the entirety of 2015 & 2016 promoting Mitch McConnell and demanding guests comment on the “Clinton sleaze factor.” There is absolutely nothing public about them. Set a different station on your radio short cuts.
Cancel NPR. It is communist propaganda
FrankLuntz The AP has the best Biden/Harris activists anyway.
FrankLuntz Frank is so wrong about Trump voters. Trump is a man of strength and Biden is man of weakness. You’re dead wrong Frank and we’re not tired of supporting America. Maybe you need to do a better job !
FrankLuntz Just hope NPR treats their discussions equally. Not a fan of them anymore. Totally tilted one way.
Well yes but it’s also the one that you paid for.
menjicm Or the Republicans?
FrankLuntz DefundNPR
I'm going to save this post for when you disagree with the results
Thank you NPR for being responsible journalists who prize facts. We appreciate it.
Thank you - it is nice to see some journalist integrity in this country right now. IMHO American media needs to look at its role in our country’s current state.
The way the press reports in this election could either prevent or incite. Please tread lightly and slowly.
Thank you!
FrankLuntz so now everyone is scared to report election night results... like trying to buy even more time for the dems to gaslight the american people
FrankLuntz AKA they are confident that AP is unlikely to call any states for Trump except for Mississippi and Alabama.
NicoleCarrWSB Your all democrats
Why report at all? Just let the votes be counted.
And don't forget the NewsHour — also a very trusted news source who also takes sources from the AP. PBSNEWS ThisIsNPR
Thank you!
penguingal Shouldn't report any results at all until they're certified.
Can you also please commit to not repeating or quote Trump's fallacious victory declaration without calling it the lie it is?
Im sure Hilary Clinton will win this time.
voter fraud
deandrejamaal_ Important! 👌🏾
2020 ÷ 666 = 30330. WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU? FACT CHECK THIS!!!
nprAudie Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
WiscoMorty AP news desk is the best. Is he going to win? When will we know? Nov 3? Nov 5? Dec. 8? Jan. 20? We study all that an much more here:
What good are “projected results” when they are overturned on a technicality by a court?
nprAudie Honestly though, no one should report results until all the votes are counted. I know that’s a radical idea, but it’s the way it should be. Certainly no one should report results until the polls close in Hawaii.
We are going to be watching PBS election night. We have come to trust their unbiased reporting.
I will only listen to Alex Jones, NPR is filled with lizard people who's families are being held hostage by the Clinton Foundation
Pre vision and caution? I guess if you are leftist
Hahahaha. 'We rely on fake news AP.' You're already getting ready to refuse to call it for Trump. NPR's bias is outstanding.
NPR is relying on a news organization with even worse Trump Derangement Syndrome than themselves.
I love this, and I'm sure someone will scream 'DemocraticParty partisanship!' just because it's NPR and AP.
What complete nonsense. You are lost and no longer capable of reporting facts or truth.
SamLitzinger ....hear, hear . .
FrankLuntz Won’t be watching or listening to your reporting anyway.
Thank you for making this decision
AP has changed. I'd reconsider.
FrankLuntz AP is a joke... so good for you.
So we'll get results from reputable sources instead of AP and NPR.
I hope they are using this giant coloring board.
FrankLuntz Why do you still exist?
FrankLuntz How about the laptop that the FBI is investigating? Sounds kind of newsy?.?.?
NPR hasn't reported objectively for 4 years. Why pretend to start now?
NPR is liberal news.
FrankLuntz
Perfect. That’s who I was going to follow.
FrankLuntz The AP called Pennsylvania for Trump in 2016 way before anybody else did, even FOX.
I love you npr but I will be watching SchittsCreek and hiding under the covers. I'll catch up on MorningEdition.
FrankLuntz Translation - “we are not going to report that Trump is winning, which is what we expect to happen”
Nobody listens to NPR for election day coverage anyway.
👌🏿
Watch out for MAGA
Yes, y'all just need to know this is going to be a s*** show.
I'm guessing if Trump wins popular vote and electoral... there will be civil unrest because the Dems cant handle a loss...
Plus corruption and fake news right ?
Referees unite! ccf
Beautiful - this is awesome. Thanks and thanks AP - refreshing to hear such an endorsement. Praise the Lord that we have one news outlet that values precision and caution in what they report.
The AP pushed the steele dossier nonsense as well as the Ukranian impeachment sham. As did NPR. EnemyOfThePeople
Thank you. Please also commit to not quoting the trump campaign if they claim victory after the election.
Florida! FL is ignoring expert advice by using cellular modems that connect precinct scanners & county tabulators to the internet. PLEASE PHOTOGRAPH PRECINCT RESULTS ON ELECTION NIGHT SO WE CAN COMPARE THEM TO 'OFFICIAL' TOTALS. BIDENHARRIS2020 BLUEWAVE2020 BYDON2020
We're officially disclosing all the evidence, let's start with the correspondence between Biden and CCP.
LMFAO. That's rich.
Well somebody needs to report Voter suppression and Votes not being counted for a bullshit reason other wise he will steal this thing
That’s ok. Florida being called day-of will tell us everything.
why are all of the comments random-ass God stuff
THANK YOU.
SundayGrandExpo The tremendous hope for repentant Christians is that, in GOD'S TRANSCENDENCE, HE promises that HE is found.
Oh. I thought it was because you both lean right.
chrislhayes Some NPR interviews eliciting factually ill-informed responses without challenge are journalistic malpractice. It's what the new NPR journalism now calls 'fair'.
THANK YOU!
chrislhayes I won't believe any election results unless Dr. Fauci announces them.
chrislhayes NPR and the AP are jewels in the crown of American journalism. I’ll be paying close attention to them and avoiding the partisan noise. Facts and data still matter, and cool heads still matter.
chrislhayes Don’t care anymore about NPR. They have lost their ethics and principles.
Also, NPR will continue to rely exclusively on Trump voters in rust belt diners to let us know the direction the country is headed in
chrislhayes Except when AP called the 2016 California primary the day before ELECTION DAY. MediaMalpractice VoterSuppression
chrislhayes Thank you and AP
chrislhayes Everyone. Please follow jenmercieca She is preparing us for the flood of lies, propaganda and demagoguery that t rump and GOP will unleash...and before they do ... We have to repeat: -count all the ballots -t rump lost -Biden Won Loudly! So reality drowns out the lies.
chrislhayes No media outlets should be calling anything until all ballots are counted.
CNN MSNBC CBS should follow this advice. No news outlet should announce a winner on election night. Remember Bush vs Gore!
adjordan What about impact of Zeta power outages in ability to vote? Will scotus allow delays in vote count where expect will help GOP but not where help .thedemocrats? .SCOTUSblog .maddow .nytimes .washingtonpost .cnn .politico .thehill
😂🤣
I bet some people wish they could watch it on their laptop..
Did they call Vermont yet?
LOL holding out for Joe. Hope springs eternal 😂
*Why is this not standard everywhere?* she screams into the void
And KETRnews will also follow standards on Election2020 . No 'calls' by anyone but AP. We will also use vote numbers provided by TexasTribune for many races.
NickCastele No reputable journalist ought to 'call it' on Election Night.
nprAudie Ummm, what the hell did you do to Minnesota?
MaraLiasson Yes Dems have to see how many ballots to generate to win
MaraLiasson I am considering becoming unconscious Tuesday afternoon & staying that way for a few weeks.
Unsubscribed long time ago
AP...every bit as poor as NPR in reporting the Hunter Biden scandal. It misuses language just like the Ministry of Truth in “1984”.
Npr is fake news
Please stop 'calling' states for particular candidates before the polls are closed!
NPR is compromised.
NPR twitter is run by vampires
Anyone not relying on Alex Jones is making a huge mistake and will lose my respect
Cool story bro now do this!!
You have no credibility
Makes sense. Today AP called the economic recovery where we've arrived at 55% of where we were pre-COVID as 'sizzling'
Laying the seeds of doubt on election night already. 'Its going to take years for all the mail in ballots to get counted as the USPS is untrustworthy worthy. We better have Pelosi sit as interim president for now.'
And we most likely won’t know who won for at least a few days.
How can one based outside of the United States listen to NPR's live broadcast? Your NPR One is only a collection of podcasts. Pls help.
