Excellent piece. I also think that ABCNNBCBS -- and Fox News - have done themselves profound damage by those nakedly dishonest decisions on state "wins." Bush finishes in Ohio with a 136,000 vote lead, and that's "too close to call" but a 14,000 vote margin in Wisconsin is instantly trumpeted as a Kerry win. Pennsylvania? Called around 9pm Eastern, though the final margin turned out to be less than that of Ohio. Bush finished up more than 2% in both Ohio and New Mexico, well outside any margin of error, absentee or provisional ballots, or automatic recount. This is fraud, pure and simple, and we can use it as a hammer against the crumbling Berlin wall of the old media for years to come.
Great points as usual! I'll help you wield that hammer - gladly!
