Excerpt from this article:
"But
as television news gears up for 2016’s big finale, an intense public
distrust in the media is threatening the networks’ traditional role as
election night scorekeeper. There
is a divided electorate, big segments of which are poised to question
the veracity of Tuesday’s results. Donald J. Trump has refused to say if
he will concede in the event of a projected defeat. And new digital
competitors plan to break the usual election-night rules and issue
real-time predictions long before polls close."
