What an embarrassing screenshot - looks like she's in midsneeze!


It's definitely hard to get a good screenshot when your likely watching a web feed (at least that's what I'm guessing.)

Here's a quick screenshot of MSNBC. Overall they are following the NBC look with the flag motif and the similar Decision 2016 logo. Today they're using a different lower third especially the bug. I noticed the updates that occurred on the NBC network during Primetime used a much smaller version with the slanted space only big enough to fit the NBCNews.com logo.

Both NBC and MSNBC took over two business (with an audience) to broadcast almost all day. Both were decorated with a wooden / rustic theme to match the locations from which they were broadcasting along with various knick knacks representing the network and shows. They also had many graphics which were likely printed out and designed to look like a chalkboard easel showing different logos / designs that never would make it on air normally.

I'm liking Fox and CNN's Election graphics. (They're more up my street).

Was observing the websites of CNN and NBC overnight. the lack of granularity on their results pages was telling. Indeed CNN not bothering to go to at least one decimal place made following them, especially for the close Democratic Caucus, so difficult.

Especial when one of the caucus was only resolved by a coin toss.

When the BBC wrote "In six precincts the vote was decided by the toss of a coin - all going to Mrs Clinton," I assumed they meant there had been six coin tosses. Was it just one coin toss, which led to the six precincts going to Clinton?

Edit: oops, no, I see there were in fact six separate coin tosses, and Clinton won them all.

Hint of ITV's branding

I'm guessing ITV will be broadcasting the Election Night as like previous years? None of the details would be released yet but will Tom or Alistair be heading the night?

Would be nice to see Alistair but I'm guessing Tom will be hosting given that he is now the new 'Election Host'.

I do find the NBC thing a bit patronising, like they have to be all folksy in the flyover states - as if a glass table or shiny metal prop might scare the locals.

CNN is a little too stars-and-stripes for me. Also, kinda weird they had flat graphics in 2008, but have gone all 3D and glass effect despite that going somewhat out of fashion. Still better than FOX though.

The npr.org website was running good live pages, with an audio stream of their coverage too. I recommend it.

Well said. I hated what NBC did. And it not unusual. Many channels have set up in diners and restaurants to give it a homey feel. And I always felt it was patronizing. At the end of the day they're are appealing to the entire country. So their audience isnt just to the middle states, its all 50. So I personally wish all of them would stop doing that, but is very popular thing to do. CNN is notorious for its ghastly CNN Diner and CNN Grill.

Ive always hated it. And will I will continue to loathe it in any form on any channel. NBC may have done it in the past, but maybe Im mentally blocking it out. But the goofy "stunt sets" has been CNNs domain since the big wigs left CNN Center and decamped the channels' brain trust to NYC and DC. Hence why you see all the channels copying one another. Big Media in NYC is like one big incestuous family. That whyTed Turner was adamant about CNNs base being Atlanta. UGH. [RANT OVER]
