It’s seems many are upset with Fox News and how that White House briefing was cut off.
This morning I did see the Senate leader discuss the contested vote count. I can imagine this isn’t an issue going away soon despite what some in the media want.
“Democrats have zero excuses for complaining about Trump contesting vote counts”

…Too many voices tried to talk down our progress, urged Americans not to have confidence and smeared anyone as unpatriotic who opposed far-left proposals to rewrite election laws. Well, the people who pushed this hysteria could not have more egg on their faces than they do now.
According to preliminary results, voters across the nation elected and re-elected Republican senators to a degree that stunned prognosticators. Likewise, the American people seem to have reacted to House Democrats’ radicalism and obstruction by shrinking the speaker’s majority and electing more Republicans there.

If any major irregularities occurred this time, of a magnitude that would affect the outcome, then every single American should want them to be brought to light. And if Democrats feel confident they have not occurred, they should have no reason to fear any extra scrutiny.
And notably, the Constitution gives no role in this process to wealthy media corporations. The projections and commentary of the press do not get veto power over the legal rights of any citizen, including the president…
