The #VeryFakeNews media, ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE, always does this.
They put out a blatant FRAUD, wait for it to get attention and mislead the people, then quietly retract it after the damage is done. So dishonest!
It's a political propaganda hatchet job. Anyone who bothers to check the facts should know that the election results have to be certified and the electoral college has to be set up first.
Good grief . World leaders-who, if they do not know better should have aides who might have, I dunno, googled US election law for them-and these grown adults with global responsibilities thought US elections were determined and settled by what a reporter says on screen.
I am inured to my fellow countrymen being dumbasses who would think a reporter's "call" is somehow legally binding (this was why Civics was deliberately removed from US classrooms in the 1960s, being replaced by "Social Studies") , but these guys should have known better.
