Let's be honest the mainstream media's coverage of the 2024 election was cartoonishly bad.

[dazjackson]

So now the BBC claim they always knew Trump was bound to win 😂.
Next they'll claim that they examined all sides of the argument during COVID.

[rossdiljohn]

She was the most unprepared candidate of all time and yet she was the vice president for more than 3 years

[benr]

Will woke bbc ever wake up to admit that KH as a presidential candidate was a spectacularly poor choice, who couldn’t put together one coherent sentence as to WHY someone/anyone should vote for her?

[ColinWilkinson-py]

Seriously. Biden calls half the country garbage and the Democrats expected to win. Kamala and Biden were perfect standard bearers for the Democrat party.

[HistoryNerd-]

He won because the real americans are not morons 💪

[iansteel]

She was never popular, however the American people are now unencumbered by what has gone before.

Where is the live unedited coverage of BBC coverage of usa election night?

[michaelbobic]

The fact that everyone here thought abortion was going to matter (18:30) shows how tied to Democratic politics these commentators are. There were plenty of surveys showing it wasn't a dominant issue.

[magsteel]

"Reproductive rights" is a marketing slogan. It's "pro abortion"

[LeeEisPrettyStrange]

The Amish voted in mass for the first time since Jackson

[raymondstauffer]

You sending your people over here to help Kamala's campaign was over the top.😂

[seatob]

I can find other uk networks full election night coverage but not bbc only clips

Trump had a winning ground game in swing states, his media game allowed people who supported his values to finally feel they could express them publicly.

I'm in the coast of California and still can't speak my mind without both social and economic backlash. To get a job in my state you have to pass a "Cultural Inclusivity Assessment". This is especially true in the teaching profession. There's more work to do.

So am I right to say the BBC doesn’t actually cover domestic news on YouTube anymore ? Some bizarre form of safety measure ?

[FreaksSpeaks]

Zero primary and 1.5 billion and she lost? No way.

[jamesmak]

JD Vance in 2028 & 2032 ? Yes. ❤

[sirloin]

No-one cared to relate to millionaire celebrity endorsements anymore?

[mdeactb]

The term reproductive rights show your bias.

Trump could hold a 3rd term. The 22nd Amendment only restricts someone from being "ELECTED". There are other provisions in the Constitution for someone to be seated at the resolute desk. One option is for for Trump to run at VP and the P step aside, The other is for Trump to be elected to the House, made Speaker, and then both the P and VP step aside. Just a little something for those with TDS to chew on.
