Where is the best place to keep up with US election results? (lemm.ee)

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?

NPR is state media, and who runs the state? The capitalist class.

very true and if it weren't for the tireless efforts of their journalists i would have classified it as the same category as the others.

i think that the best you can do under the overwhelming circumstances in my country is to try and i think that they are trying despite their own biases manifesting themselves from time to time and their perpetual funding dance with partners like the imperial gov't and the american oligarchs.
