What station did you watch last night for election coverage?

Posted on 11/03/2004 6:36:47 AM PST by AuburnJenn

Yes, this is a vanity, but please don't flame me. I am curious what station you watched last night for election results? And why were there 2 different Fox broadcasts (one with Shephard Smith and the other had Brit Hume)? I was actually not as impressed with Fox as I hoped I'd be, I found their panel fairly dull - CBS was a joke of course, NBC and ABC were actually not all that vomit-inducing as I expected them to be. But Today show sure looked and acted glum this morning! I am just so excited for President Bush

but I did switch over to CNN to watch the vile Carville hold his head in shame.

That was an act. Inwardly he was dancing with joy as this sets up a hillary candidacy in 2008.

I didn't put myself through that grinder last night. I turned the set off early and never went online. I knew there would be nothing definitive until this morning.

I am very pleased with the results this morning.

Fox (disappointed though) and the C-SPAN website for state by state results.

FauxNews most of the time... but they all seemed the same to me... All hoping sKerry would pull it out, Calling states for him ASAP, while leaving Bush states hanging (can you say New Mexico, and Iowa?).

Mostly Fox. A little bit of Comcast local coverage when the PA and NJ results started coming in.

FreeRepublic & Yahoo (for the map/percentages) for the true news.
Hubby in next room flipping from ABC/NBC/FOX/CBS. CBS for the bellylaughs; others to see who was getting it wrong/right.
No Laura Ingraham on our radio here. :(

No TV for me last night. Followed the election here and Hugh Hewitt on radio. Who needs the alphabet channels? The two sources I used last night were far better in giving me the results and news about the elections. Hugh was great, but no one comes close to Free Republic in giving the best information!

No TV. To much crap comes out of that box. FR and the CSPAN map did the job, mostly FR.

Fox News, I was Tivoing it for posterity. I have them recorded from 4pm PST to 6am PST.

The only problem I had with them was that the roundtable was prone to just talking about nothing for long spells. Boring tv.

Free Republic and Fox (sporadically), I had to see Dan Rather last night, watched him for 5 minutes talking with his correspondent on the WH Lawn, they were saying "Even though they may have lost, the WH want to project they are winner", this was at midnight CST.

Dan Rather is psychologically unbalanced. Too much bad LSD in the 60's I would guess.

I couldn't watch any of them. They were so screwed up with their secret exit poll BS that you could tell they all thought sKerry had already won it. I turned the tube on AFTER FReepers advised me it was OK now, LOL HOORAY!!!!!!!

TV was off. I had Free Republic in one browser, the Yahoo map in another, and fiddle music on the stereo.

99% FoxNews - flipping to ABC, NBC, CBS and CNN just to see how the anchors were reacting. On FreeRepublic the entire time - up through 2:00 a.m. when I finally "conceded" to go to bed.

I made the mistake of watching FNC. Britt Hume was in a coma early on, the rest of the usual crew was boring, Michael Barone could not find his fanny with his hands, and they delayed their State calls beyond ALL reason

FR...unless someone posted about Blather or others with pitiful frowns on their faces.

And then there was that Susan not on Estrogen moment. LOL!

I didn't watch much last nite actually. When I did, I split it up between Fox, CNN and MSNBC.

Still this morning as last night, I find it amusing how they each showed "to-date" electoral counts on their ticker tape.

Fox - highest # of all to Bush
CNN - lowest # to Bush, close race w/Kerry
MSNBC - somewhere in between, a smidge below Fox's Bush #

So Fox made it seem like Bush had it more than likely, and CNN mad it seem a real serious contest.
