Does Electoral College end election for conservative media?

“As conservative media proliferated, it put a lot more pressure on the hosts to move to the right and embrace warfare politics,” Rosenwald said.

The AP's vote calls were 99.8% accurate in 2016, flawless in calling presidential and congressional elections in each state.
