Every indication points to Trump lying on election night and claiming victory. And the media is likely to repeat that lie.
My plea: Can we please say "Trump FALSELY claims victory" instead?
I DM'd some journalists to talk about it — and some wrote back! I recorded our convos:
Thank you to the PR people at media companies who allowed their journalists to talk to me for a non-Hardball on MSNBC segment about how not to fuck up election night coverage
This conversation with @IsaacDovere finally answers the question so many of you have: Was Matt a good reporter when they worked together at @politico? Answer: not really!

episode 3 of this fucking bullshit!!!!!!
Every one of us should be texting, emailing, DMing and calling ppl we know in news and begging them to show restraint on Tuesday. Refrain from your "Trump: 'Crazy Lie TK'" tweets. Refrain from asking Trump "what's your reaction to TK." One night only!
