The New York Times ran its story on Trump refusing to commit to a peaceful transfer of power on page A15, Washington Post on A4. Can't tell if or where they ran stories but it isn't on the Newseum's front pages for Wall Street Journal, LA Times, USA Today, or Chicago Tribune.
The Times prioritized room on the front for “Trump buoyed in the suburbs of Milwaukee.” https://twitter.com/parkermolloy/status/1309099814781681664?s=21 https://twitter.com/parkermolloy/status/1309099814781681664
It's the second story after Louisville on NBC's Today, with Peter Alexander saying Trump "is taking a position that is not just unprecedented but, critics warn, it is dangerous, refusing to endorse one of the most basic tenets of American democracy."
Similar placement for segment on ABC's Good Morning America, with George Stephanopoulos warning that Trump is "defying democracy."
CBS This Morning's coverage was much briefer and more perfunctory.
Lots of coverage on CNN and MSNBC; a near-total blackout on Fox News, and totally ignored on the popular primetime/Fox & Friends shows.
Wall Street Journal story also ran on A4. It looks like Chicago Tribune and USA Today didn't run print stories at all.
Yesterday I wrote about how Trump exploits the media vulnerability of the finite news hole.

This isn't that. NYT A1 includes "Trump buoyed in the suburbs of Milwaukee,” WaPo has "Trump seeks health care 'wins.'"
LA Times put "Opposing styles in debate preparation" on A1 and "Trump won't commit to exit; Assertion that there 'won't be a transfer' of power alarms experts" on A6.
