This needs to get as wide a distribution as possible. When any thinking person reads this, the networks will lose whatever shreds of credibility they still have and will lose the power to steer people like they are trying to do, but have no right to do. Still, some kudos to NBC for having at least some small ones not in JFK's pocket. (Even more so than Fox, who had already made the call by that time.)
Imagine this: Tom Brokow is sitting in his booth for the last time reporting a presidential election. I happened to have been watching him at the moment that the word came in to his headphones that Bush was the projected winner in Ohio. Brokow stiffened as he listened, then unhesitatingly said, we are calling Ohio for President Bush. For all intents and purposes, this election is over. That is a pretty close paraphrase, and I can imagine nobody was going to dictate to him at such an important and historical point in his long career. I've always believed him to be the best of the top three by far, and he did not disappoint that time.
