Did you see the thread yesterday on Rush's show where he exposed the tidbit in the NYTimes in which they stated that the Kerry campaign called all the networks and told them not to call Ohio, and thus the election, for Pres. Bush at midnight? So naturally, the lackeys all fell into line until finally, much later, Fox finally declared Ohio and an hour later, so did NBC. But the rest slavishly did as told by the Democrats, thus proving they can never be trusted again with election coverage. This election season proved beyond doubt the overt bias of the MSM.

Not quite right...After Fox called Ohio for Bush, the KerryKampaign hit the phones & called ABC, CNN, CBS, & NBC urging them not to call Ohio for Bush. NBC was the only other network to call Ohio for Bush that evening.
From the Rush article, quoting the NYTimes: ''The critical moment came at 12:41 a.m. Wednesday, when, shortly after Florida had been painted red for Mr. Bush, Fox News declared that Ohio - and, very likely, the presidency - was in Republican hands. Howard Wolfson, a strategist, burst into the 'boiler room' in Washington where the brain trust was huddled and said, 'we have 30 seconds' to stop the other networks from following suit. The campaign's pollster, Mark Mellman, and the renowned organizer Michael Whouley quickly dialed ABC, CBS, CNN and NBC - and all but the last refrained from calling the race through the night. ''
