Los Angeles: There is only one thing Americans love more than America, and that is elections. Everyone and everything in America that isn’t bolted down is elected, from the town clerk, school superintendents and tax commissioner … to the president.

And the only thing America loves more than elections is television. When you put the two together, you get a circus of patriotism and stretched faces draped in red, white and blue flags, and introduced by news anchors who, at times, look more like ringmasters.

US election TV coverage … kind of like a Zoom meeting.........
