The timing is interesting, because no matter who is elected we're still approaching herd immunity. There could be a lot less cases/deaths by next spring for that reason alone. Without the backdrop of the election and Trump's press conferences/other musings, COVID just isn't as exciting of a story to cover in the media.
If Biden is elected and COVID stays an issue (plateau in deaths/cases, no vaccine), however, I fully expect the media to do a 180 and start talking about all the "context" that's missing from their reporting right now. Talking heads will give Biden a pass because "we've expanded testing, so of course there's more cases!" and "very few young, healthy people are dying of the virus now!" Basically parroting what Trump says now.
The cognitive dissonance will be deafening, no doubt
