• NBC News and FOX Have Called Ohio For Bush; CNN, ABC, CBS Have Not

[69ConvertibleFirebird]

As of Nov 3rd, 2004 at 1:30pm (est), after Kerry has called Bush to concede, CNN and ABC still show Ohio as uncallable (NBC has now gone to show Ohio for Bush).

Mind boggling. It's like they are trying to make the next Bush term illegitimate.

Hint to CNN and ABC - Kerry says that he lost Ohio...

Loser Speaks Blues

The Botox didn't help enough.
George Bush was made of stronger stuff.
I never really took the lead.
George Bush is who the people need.
Windsurfing didn't help a bit.
George Bush has always been a hit.
I flipped and flopped to no avail.
George Bush should throw my butt in jail.
I leave you now to fade away.
George Bush has clearly won today.

John Kerry 11/3/2004 as told by Conspiracy Guy

Yes - he's conceded the election. Kerry has shown more grace than our wretched partisan media. Talk about sore losers...

[Halls]

It is pretty rediculous, but what does it matter what they say. Media does not decide election's, the peopledo. They will only look stupid if they continue to not give BUSH Ohio!

[mmyers]

They are now starting there campign for Hillary today!

[BonnieJ]

They may call it by the January 20th inaugural though.
What I think they're waiting for is Kerry's speech. He has to make it official for them.

[narby]

NBC has emerged as the only member of the Old Media that sort of "gets it". They may be liberal at heart, but they really try not to let it show.

The rest are just propaganda outlets.

but I don't think FNC + NBC have yet called Nevada for Bush (wanting to leave it at 269)

[grobdriver]

It's like they are trying to make the next Bush term illegitimate.

Like hell.
The ability to make the election legitimate or not is not theirs, unless we give it to them.
MANDATE!
Spread the word!

[capitan_refugio]

There is another thread reporting Katie Couric (NBC - Today show)nearly in tears and wearing black today!

[Dog Gone]

Fox hasn't called the Florida senate race yet, either, even though Castor has conceded.

[Moconservative]

They are still in shock. After the exit polls that were fabricated told of a Kerry victory they can't accept it. The Communist News Network and ABC which admitted it was in the tank for Kerry are utterly stunned.

This exit poll issue I think will have legs. I think it was another way the liberals thought they could steal the election.

[Blue Turtle]

NBC does get it...sort of...after all they did good in the ratings.

[syriacus]

The people
(not the media or the pundits or the politicos)
have spoken

[69ConvertibleFirebird]

CNN just gave Ohio to Bush (1:45pm est). At least they didn't wait for Kerry to say "Oh, CNN and ABC, feel free to give Bush the win now" in his concession speech.

[69ConvertibleFirebird]

ABC is still holding out (1:50pm est). The lone voice in the wilderness... "Kerry still may pull it out!..."

[Paul8148]

What about New Mexico and Iowa?

[FreedomProtector]

NBC news mentioned that evalgelicals went strongly to Bush probably 10 times last night, and I think it went a long way in helping their ratings....wouldn't hear this from ABC and certainly wouldn't hear this from CBS.


NBC TOP TV AUDIENCE FOR ELECTION WRAP 10.7 RATING/15 SHARE... ABC 9.2/13... CBS 6.1/8... [CABLE RELEASED 2:30 PM ET]....

What about New Mexico and Iowa?

I think they are all still showing them too close to call.

Imagine if kerry had the same lead in Ohio as Bush does now. I am sure the MSM would be calling it for Kerry, and saying Bush had no chance. However, since Bush is winning they are going to hold out as long as possible. Unbelievable!
