I haven't watched it in years. Don't watch NBC OR CBS any more. The list is growing. Pretty soon, there will just be Fox News (and even that's getting iffy due to O'Reilly) and the Library.
Saw an interesting 'list' posted on the fray just now. It might have even been posted here first, but I haven't had time to look. It was posted here:

Losers
By Michael Paranzino
Every election produces losers. Here, before we let the 2004 election season pass into posterity, is a partial list:
John Kerry, John Edwards, George Soros, Michael Moore and Osama bin Laden, Jimmy Carter, Dan Rather, everyone at the New York Times except David Brooks and William Safire, Bruce Springsteen, MoveOn, Tom Daschle, the Massachusetts Supreme Court, France, the Dixie Chicks, the Zogby brothers, Kofi Annan and the United Nations, Jon Stewart, Howard Stern, Iran's nuclear weapons program, Mary Mapes, Eddie Vedder, CBS News, Dana Milbank and many of his colleagues at the Washington Post, Meathead, Richard Clarke, trial lawyers, the left-wing 527s and their bankrollers Peter B. Lewis and Stephen L. Bing and Herb Sandler and Linda Pritzker, Chris Matthews, Old Europe, Jon Bon Jovi, Harvard, NAACP, Janeane Garofalo, Al Gore, Al Sharpton, Mohamed ElBaradei, Susan Estrich, Joshua Micah Marshall, 60 Minutes, George Clooney and his dad, Andrew Sullivan, that liberal radio network if it still exists, People for the American Way, Terry McAuliffe, the Washington Press Corps, Ralph Nader, Rock the Vote, Jon Corzine, left-wing bloggers, Yasser Arafat, Ed Asner, Howard Dean, NARAL, terrorists in Fallujah, Bob Schrum, virtually everyone in Berkeley and Hollywood and Manhattan, Joe Wilson, October Surprises, WTO protesters, Jesse Jackson, Martin Sheen, 60 Minutes II, Helen Thomas, the McCain-Feingold law, Cameron Diaz, Jacques Chirac, Barbra Streisand, the liberal/mainstream media, David Kay, Joe Klein, "Judging Amy" writers and all the others who injected anti-Bush propaganda into their material, Nancy Pelosi, Mark Halperin, MTV, Sean Penn, Sarah Brady, Joe Lockhart, Tucker Carlson's predictive abilities since he joined CNN, Al Franken, Chris Heinz, Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon, Molly Ivans, Roger Ebert, Kim Jong Il, exit polls, VVAW, Salon.com if it still exists, P. Diddy, the Philadelphia Inquirer, Eleanor Clift, Ann Stone, ACLU, Ibrahim Hooper, Rand Beers, Spain's voters, Wesley Clark, and the much-ballyhooed so-called "youth vote."
Of course, elections also provide winners, which this year includes: George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, Zell "Spitballs?" Miller, Hillary Clinton, Tom DeLay, Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, people of faith, the people of Iraq and Afghanistan, and most of all the American people.
Postscript: A friend, Michael Dunnigan, has noted that Sen. Kerry's defeat has cost us the opportunity to see Kerry's "Dream Team" in action: Secretary of State Jimmy Carter, Secretary of Defense Michael Moore, Attorney General Hillary Rodham Clinton, Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court Janet Reno, Chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts Howard Stern, Surgeon General William Kennedy Smith, and Ambassador to the Holy See Madonna.
That list could have made for an impressive Get Out The Vote piece, no?
