Just some random thoughts.
If Biden does actually win, what then for US media?
I suggest the only sensible thing for them to do is to seek a Trudeau-style settlement with the government.
However, note the recent switch from "Trump" to "Trumpism" ... US media has found out that witch-hunts are pretty good ratings magnets, so I wonder if a US media directly funded by government is simply going to go to town on anyone who doesn't immediately, unconditionally, surrender themselves to the mob.
They'll be able to coast by for a while on COVID and blaming Trump for everything that goes wrong with the Biden administration.
The need for new targets means they'll continue moving the Overton window to the left, and some outlets may themselves become targets. Communists and other authoritarians always end up stabbing others in the back to consolidate their power.
They've been eating themselves for a while now. The NYT had several internal revolts because the old guard wasn't radical enough. Greenwald quit the Intercept which he founded because they got too radical. And some founder at Vox (IIRC) quit because radicals had take over.
