This election is plenty dramatic. For many, it’s downright existential. So can someone get a message to Wolf Blitzer to tone it down a little bit? We’ve barely even delved into the results and already you’d think there have been several M. Night Shyamalan-esque plot twists.
Between the heightened graphics and sound effects, the boy who cried Wolf Blitzer, and the fact that there’s a reality TV conman vying for a second term, it’s going to be quite a night on CNN.
Here’s what folks are saying about Blitzer’s Oscar-worthy drama:

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
So far the big story of the night is Wolf Blitzer’s desire to call the election in the next 5 minutes while John King keeps saying ‘it’s still early on’

1. Turn on CNN
2. Mute it
3. Place ???????? ?? ??? ????? by Philip Glass on the turntable
4. Pretend you are watching an interpretive dancer's expressionistic portrayal of Wolf Blitzer

Reminder: Don’t be tricked by an urgent sounding Wolf Blitzer into thinking a major race has been called

Everyone: Remember, it’s important that the networks not read into early numbers.

Twitter tonight perfectly capturing that cable-news vibe of not having much to say but still saying it for hours, like watching Wolf Blitzer stress-eat a box of donuts and drink wine from the bottle while yelling KEY RACE ALERT
