1) In general I think the media is to quick to let their bias slip: if nothing else it's counterproductive. A lot of overconfidence from pundits going in about Biden, and trying to keep hinting in that direction now.

2) There's a pattern here, and it's not a great look. It turns off a lot of people and paints a misleading picture of things. See e.g. calling all riots peaceful, resorting to identity politics way too quickly, double standards, etc. But there are also some exceptions.

4) It's one thing to express optimism and confidence about your campaign, but saying that you've already won when you haven't and won't accept the opposite undermines much more than just the discourse around this one election.

5) There are lots of hard calls about when to present neutrality and when opinions, and in the end there is no such thing as pure neutral. But that doesn't mean it's open season. Save your opinions for when you're really right and it matters. This is one of those times.

6) The election is close and it's hard to know who won. The margins are small compared to the uncounted votes. These are votes which have already been cast--just not counted because ballot counters are taking a nap.
