7. Local CNN. reporter became discombobulated and screwed up basic math.

All she had to do is subtract 120k from 450k but couldn't do it.

Reporter is Asian and coming from an family 90% Asian I can tell you that her family will bury her with good natured ribbing.

It's late and she may have missed some sleep. It was pretty bad.

4. For heaven's sake... Not everyone is watching what you're watching.

Your post is spam. It tells us nothing. Gives no context. Fill in with details and please consider how your post will be read by those who aren't watching what you're watching.

6. Thank you for this post.

We do need more detail.

It is annoying also when someone posts a link to an article that gives little detail and requires a paid subscription in order to read the rest of the article. We get three newspapers in our household. I am not paying for anything else.

We are all under terrible stress. People who give no context might not realize that they are being rude. You are a good person.

8. Political science graduate and wonk here. It's very annoying to not get details and context.

I see this sort of thing happens a lot on the site, but there's always an uptick on this during times like now. I hope I didn't come off as too stand-offish, but sometimes there's only the direct communication route.

5. it was update on az

She said 90k ballots came in. Then gave the numbers of biden having over 900k votes and trump having 800k. She then got confused like she did early in the night. In the end it was a gain for trump. She shouldve just gave the new numbers.

9. It's 4 AM and this woman has been up for how long and made a slight screwup that does NOT...

affect the actual count, just your sense of... something.

Let it go.

10. Geeesh some of these people have only had an hour or so of sleep while covering the election

11. Stress thread all-round

And yes, context is always good netiquette.

Cheers all
