Excerpted from The Daily Caller: The 2012 presidential election is still more than two weeks away, but on Friday a CBS News affiliate in Arizona called the race for President Barack Obama.
For 17 seconds, Phoenix, Arizona CBS News affiliate KPHO ran a lower third graphic that showed that Obama had won the Nov. 6 election over Gov. Mitt Romney with 99% of the precincts reporting. The lower third graphic appeared around 3:30 p.m. on Oct. 19, during an episode of “The People’s Court.”
The CBS News graphic showed Obama winning the election with 43 percent of the vote nationwide to Romney’s 40 percent -– or 40,237,966 votes to 38,116,216. It is unclear who garnered the other 17 percent in the fictional election results.

did anyone get a screen capture of that?
There’s a screen capture somewhere on a thread of the same subject earlier today. I think it was from Palin’s FB.
Too bad Dems. No need to vote now. Better luck next election. Remember though, election day is the third Monday of October, ALWAYS.
No, no, no. it’s always the second Tuesday in November. Confusion to the enemy, puhleeze.. sd
thanks
This kind of stuff reminds me of the old Soviet Union or current day Havana.
Huh... I guess in their world, the libertarians are pulling a pretty healthy percentage of the vote.
That was supposed to be displayed subliminally. Some heads will roll at that CBS affiliate.
Accident, my rear. Psyops?
Well,...we know whow can’t trust on Nov 6th! Not Arizona CBS News affiliate KPHO.
Probably just testing their system. Vote totals are about 50 million shy of the 2008 election, so this really makes no logical sense as fraud. Nevertheless, I do not trust the MSM nor the Democrat Machine, so anything is possible.

That’s what I figured. Imagine though if it were showing Romney the winner. There would be demands to pull their license.
This guy?

What’s he got to do with it?
I don't buy the "test" as an excuse. There must be a million other ways to test your broadcast signal or display. If they absolutely HAD to broadcast results, why not put up non-controversial numbers, such as all zeroes? Why not put up names such as "John Doe?"
