As I stated on another thread, when Tim Russett started at 3 this morning figuring out how WE could still eke out a win for Kerry, I was very upset.
I don't know about anything that happened on those stations...I refused to watch. I only watched Fox News...which got me pissed off, when they wouldn 't call NV, NM, or IA for Bush, when they had 99% reporting.
I agree and I actually believe that there should be some sort of law into place that would forbid announcing the EXIT POLLS which were absolutely WRONG. EXIT POLLS are not scientific and are completely irrelevant - and it seems to me are only useful as a means of propaganda to give the impression that the left was doing better than it was. This of course affects voter turnout for all who hear them! The news people should report the news, not make it (but that seems to no longer be the case - thank you NYT and CBS).
I mostly had the radio on listening to Laura Ingraham because Fox News was depressing me - but then I sensed a changed in the atmosphere when, around 8:30/9 p.m., they finally came to the conclusion that EXIT POLLS were completely wrong.
Every once in a while I'd check over at CBS (this is after midnight) - and EVERY TIME I DID, Dan Rather was coming up with NEW WAYS that Kerry could still win!
How pathetic...
