Many people were upset with how media publications and news networks handled the Iowa caucus results. Former President Donald Trump was declared the winner of the caucus yesterday. It was a resounding victory, with the former president winning by a significant margin. This is unsurprising, as essentially every poll projected Trump to win the caucus. Anger stems from the quickness with which the media called for Trump. 

Approximately 30 minutes after voting for the Iowa caucus began, the Associated Press declared Trump the winner. Several other news networks followed this. At the time, less than 0.55% of the precincts had reported their results on a day when Iowa experienced record-cold temperatures that affected voter turnout.
