I refuse to watch cable news, don’t have regular tv, and not a fan of visual media for news anyways. I would love something like a Lemmy/reddit mega thread where I can refresh and get up to the minute updates, but from professional news/journalists. But without the faux drama reality tv stuff that the cable news networks always do. I also love podcasts so if there’s a listening medium that isn’t overly dramatic that works too. Any suggestions?

    I think the US news sites are going to post their live updates to their websites too, that is at least how it was the last few presidential elections (I think I mostly used CNN). That is the same data they use for their news coverage, so you could use that; but watching live television will give you a clue when important updates have happened on them.

    Of course you could just follow election-related hashtags on Mastodon to get a wide variety of people shouting all kinds of things about the election.
