The moment the media has long been waiting for has finally arrived. The night where they get to introduce the next president of the United States of America. Every news station was there to bear witness to an election where something historic was going to happen. Either the media outlets would be writing about the first African-American president, or they would be talking about the oldest president and the first female vice president our country has ever seen. No media station would even dare miss a second of this action, because this is an event that only happens once every four years.
This time around the election was won by an African-American male. The media was heads over heels trying to get coverage with different senators and political figures to come on to their shows and share their thoughts on the new president. I was watching the election on MSNBC with some friends of mine, and thought that they had a good show of explaining what needed to happen in order for each candidate to pull out a victory. They brought in several senators who were asked good questions by the interviewer to help the average Joe realize what this person would do as president. All in all I was not very surprised in the news coverage of the election, but the quality of the broadcast was spectacular.
