MEDIA coup de tat attempt final 1
If you watched the election coverage during the campaign and the election night results you may have been shocked that CBS, ABC, PBS, CNN and MSNBC could not call the election for BUSH for more than 24 hours.
It seems that they can call certain states with no prolbem, but states that would affectively give the President the election is a task too difficult for them to stomach. In fact, the electoral vote hanging out their at 269 was the point of no return for them. They could not give that 270th elector because it would mean a loss for Kerry, they held onto hope. It seems the WOLFSON, MEHLMAN call at 12:41 WED a.m was enough to convince the networks not to call OHIO, NM, and NEV for BUSH, though they all were easily identifiable for BUSH. The spin is that the OHIO provissionable ballots could be enough to flip it to Kerry, yet this was statistically impossible and the margin of victory for BUSH in OHIO was larger than the KERRY victory in PA--they did not worry about rewarding PA to KERRY...go figure. Nor did the networks worry about the 12K votes differential for KERRY v BUSH in Wisconsin.
ALL in all it was an all to easy testiment to the bias, but they have nothing to lose at this point (the networks). Particularly considering they in several cases did not call it for BUSH even after Kerry conceded.
The media bias is so arrogant they no longer conseal it, they flaunt it. They are like rats trapped in a corner, they are bitting and scratching furriously. They are all too willing to call AMERICANS dumb, ill informed, or manipulated, they are all to willing to display the bias without concern for the truth. Celebrate Mike Moore and ignore the SWIFT VETS, Celebrate Springsteen, Soros and Sarandan, but ignore Schilling, Country Music and Ron Silver. They are all too willing to promote Clarke, Moore and O'Neill but all to willing to ignore "Oil For Food", Women voting in Afghanistan and John Kerry's real record.
Their is a cultural difference in this nation, it is not class, race or religion, it is Media Arrogance--they truly believe they need not be accountable to the viewers who do not want sex on at 8pm, or vulgar language on at 8pm, or overt bias in the news---the cultural gap is truth vs lies, SWIFT VETS vs MOORE!
