If you recall the media tried to give FL to Gore in 2000 VNS was a private consortium owned by ABC News, The Associated Press, CBS News, CNN, Fox News, and NBC. All 5 of the networks and cable newsrooms "announced" Gore had won BEFORE the 2nd time zone in FL had closed. This cost President Bush votes in the FL panhandle. I was at a friends house and the State of FL election website results showed President Bush was winning WHILE the big 5 media TV and Cable newsrooms "announced their" winner. The big 5 media TV and Cable newsrooms are the real threat to the 2004 election.
