If you recall BEFORE election night Drudge bragged how he would release VNS Poll data BEFORE the networks did.
Sure enough, before the 2nd time zone in FL closed he "announced" Gore won.
Then Fox, according to O'Reilly, was the 1st network to "announce" Gore won before the FL polls had closed.
On election night I was at a friends house while she was on the State of FL election return site,
it showed Bush ahead while Fox and everyone else said Gore won.
I wonder how many Bush votes were lost by the 2nd time zone due to Drudge, Fox etc.

The broadcast lies of the Florida winner prior to the polls closing on the panhandle was the biggest case of election rigging ever, and all the networks were guilty due to VNS!

VNS small elite group who made the decision, totally biased.

I still remember that sinking feeling, that creeping horror as the three key states (so the media had been telling me for weeks) fell to Gore that night. I kept clinging to hope of an upset out West here. We Freepers were frantic and confused. Florida was snatched away from Gore. Then Fox gave it to Bush, declaring him the winner, and we opened the bubbly. Only it was celebratation too soon. Al Gore had decided to torture America.

Those were some *great* freeper days, imho. Managing threads, covering all the court cases night and day via TV, radio and streaming media. Reading opinions from justices and legal eagle freepers. Reading about the freeper protests. Enjoying the theatre that was Judge Saul's court and the Democratic "case". And Al Gore telling his guests to just look for the crowd chanting "Get out of Cheney's house."

Can we finally put the 2000 election to bed? Please?
