channels announce to air the US elections 5 hours earlier than them.
CNN spokeswoman Patricia Mubarak says "The elections are an important ratings event for us, it is absolutely unacceptable that German news media will announce results 5 hours earlier than us. Even though we understand Germany is in a different timezone, in the past Germany respected that it is an American election."
Fox News correspondent added "And there you think those are actual allies. Why? Why would they do that to us."
How do you think about Germany streaming American elections 5 hours earlier?
Brayden Morales
Because Germans understand what happened to them in the last two world wars.
Isaac Long
i don't get it
whats the problem here?
Justin Ramirez
Me too. Why should German media have hte election results before the American media?
Aaron Sullivan
never trust the eternal kraut
Benjamin Moore
Fake and gay
Evan Brooks
thats not how timezones work
Alexander Collins
Democratic election of what the media deems a "dictator"
Does it ring a bell?
Luis Gomez
this, you retards
Christian Ortiz
wut.
Grayson Perez
Do we need any more proof that American politics is the world's biggest reality t.v. show and ratings it's all that matters?
James Reyes
You think so? You're so smart
Matthew Jones
Wait, what? They cant get the results before they are're actually calculated, so that means that crappy US channel is just gonna wait for 5 hours to anounce them? If that is the case than those channel can suck it, It's their fault they are shit.
Gabriel Hughes
amerilards loosing ad money because of german tv
Isaiah Smith
where is this going? I'm having deja vu. Didn't someone larp about this? wasn't this in the time traveler larp shit?
Oliver Perez
Americans would have the results but dont want to share them until a certain time of day so they can get maximum TV ratings
Jackson Diaz
That's the joke. He's saying its rigged so they CAN announce the results early
Joseph Gray
butthurt dinosaur media faggots pissed their relevancy is nonexistent
Brayden James
Yeah I don't get it either, it's going to be live and Germany's in another time zone so they aren't going to be getting the results earlier then us
Ryan Rogers
Results have been publically known for weeks now. Hillary won. They don't even need to do the actual election anymore.
Kayden Gutierrez
I can't tell if user is playing along or full on retarded
Brody Moore
that doesn't really make sense
Julian Allen
>trusting Germcucks with commentating the election
Holy shit. Hillary is calling Merkel to help her rig this election.
Luis Russell
It could be german humor We are not really good at it but we keep trying.
Charles Wilson
This is about milking the media coverage to the max making more money.
Its all a gigantic show. Its entertainment, not politics.
They have the results hours beforehand but wait for the best time to air it.
SHEKELS PEOPLE SHEKELS.
Also its rigged.
Kayden Reyes
>german """""humor"""""
Jonathan Powell
>thats not how timezones work but it is how elections work these days.
Nathan Price
Maybe it has to do with when polls close in CONUS? Waiting until 8PM PST is like 11PM EST and honestly all the battleground states are in the eastern portion of the country, and as soon as you have about 10% votes counted as long as there's no rigging you can project a winner AT LEAST two hours before polls close.
Kinda weird but I could see how it happens.
Kevin Lee
>what is add revenue
Get your shit together krauts
Angel Nelson
???
Aren't the election results live like the primaries?
Camden Foster
>dinosaur media
nobody cares about this
Benjamin Davis
Who's this erection engineer?
Jace Gomez
>Realize they are just talking about the time difference between the East Coast and Germany with Germany being "5 hours ahead". Of course we are going to assume they meant actually 5 hours ahead not 5 hours in retard time
Cameron Garcia
The media in America never reports on the election until all timezones in the US voted. I don't know if that's a law or an agreement, but they don't do it. German media is obviously not bound by either of these, so they can just report who won CA while NY is still voting.
Dylan Parker
Wait so a foreign country is going to know the next President of America before America knows? WTF why is this allowed to happen!!??
Kayden Hall
why is pol so retarded
Chase Peterson
its annudda blitz!!
Joseph Young
What makes you think they don't already have the results?
Owen Taylor
I've decided to post the election results here on Sup Forums 9 days ahead of schedule. I know it's going to impact ratings, but it's too important and the media sucks right now.
Trump won. It's over guys. We fought hard.
John Butler
>Who's this erection engineer? Why do ya wonna no?
Sebastian Moore
guess that's why they're taking up the email shit again.... good luck, cuck
Joseph Murphy
>I've decided to post the election results here on Sup Forums 9 days ahead of schedule. I know it's going to impact ratings, but it's too important and the media sucks right now. >Trump won. It's over guys. We fought hard.
>seriously believing we haven't had the results since 2015.
Connor Murphy
I don't think they understand timezones German is not 5h in the future
Jacob Bennett
>five hours earlier.
You ruined the joke, Hans. German time is five hours later than EST.
Benjamin Harris
you are fucking retarded and you won't be getting the results before u.s. media does.
Elijah Ross
merkel and soros are puppeting hillary and this election, They definitely do have the results.
Jeremiah Jenkins
t. CTR
Jaxson Clark
Time zones, maybe?
Kayden James
>"And there you think those are actual allies. Why? Why would they do that to us."
FUCKING KEK, WHILE THE NSA SPIES ON LITERALLY EVERYONE HERE AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Daniel Edwards
Idiot
US news isn't allowed to tell the results until everyone has voted. Hawaii is 5 hours behind. We have to wait for them to vote even though they already know the way results of all the other states by then. So while the voting stations close at 7, they can't announce the results until midnight. But Germany isn't bound by US law, so they can announce results as soon as they get them.
Bentley Thompson
Makes me so fucking happy. I hate anything related to the media and their support structures.
Julian Jones
>I don't think they understand timezones >German is not 5h in the future
That is not the point, Ahmed.
Nolan Long
Will Germany announce the results before the polls close? If so, that's voter suppression. Which obviously can't be punished with a lawsuit since it's another country doing it.
Man, fuck Germany. Should America nuke when this coming week, to save the election?
William Nelson
Well it's just jews jewing jews. Election results are told the moment they come in in here.
Zachary Kelly
?? Why would media sit on results for 5 hours instead of releasing straight away? Here the major channels have all night coverage and results come in mostly from 2am-6am and we get it live. Why would it be any different than that?
Josiah Morales
No it isnt
its about controlling the narrative to try to squeeze extra votes for their candidates.
here for example 2 hours in the media announced the candidate that ended up losing had won with like 60% of the votes based on the results of certain provinces which hadn't even finished counting
Jayden Rodriguez
This. Germany is in the future.
Elijah Ortiz

Adrian Ross
When the leaf is the first to point out the obvious.
Ayden Brooks
>CNN complaining about the effects of globalization Pricelesd.
Ryan Howard
This joke about timezones even a child can appreciate went over the heads 95% of Sup Forums, proving once again this board is for legitimate retards.
Xavier Howard
kikes get btfo by ratings by the eternal kraut
oh well too bad cnn likes sucking globalism cock its ok when it fucks over everyone else but oh no not the ratings
Josiah Rodriguez
This is not a good thing you stupid fuck. Germany is effectively ruining the election by doing this, they are going be swaying peoples choices by showing winners and losers.
Don't do this specifically for that reason. If you find out Trump has already lost but you can still go out and vote why the fuck would you bother?
Do you see how this could be a problem? It affects turn out, and some retards even will only vote for "who ever is winning".
Germany is a fucking cancer that deserves to be blasted to dust and then pissed on.
Jacob Ross
I have a degree in meteorology, trust me, this has nothing to do with time zones. US news laws say they can't announce the results until everyone has voted. Hawaii is 5 hours behind, but we still have to wait for them to vote before the news is allowed to report the results for the other states
Grayson Richardson
So all I want to know out of all of this shit is canni just go to german news site to get the results instead of waiting on the shit teir news here in the U.S of Gay?
Kayden Price
Does the US not announces the counts as they are being done? Or does that not leave enough time to cheat?
Ayden Martinez
Suck it yankees, we want to watch too when Hilldawg gets her face stomped in.
Elijah Sanders
How can they have the results before the polls close?
Kevin James
Ok so what's the lying press gonna do about it. Maybe they should stop being a dying medium.
Joshua Wilson
>I have a degree in meteorology, trust me, this has nothing to do with time zones. Dude, I have a degree in psychology and trust me, this joke definitely went over the head of 95% on pol.
Leo Peterson
That's not true at all. They spend the entire day talking about it and they air results state by state as they are received.
Easton Brooks
Kek let's go CNN is about to go out of business
Eli Flores
Exit polls
Xavier Miller
Has no one here realised that they will still be announced at the same time, it'll just be a different time of day in Germany or is that the joke?
