For the record, in regards to calling Arizona early, I do not feel that was fraudulent, even though it was the wrong thing to do. I think Fox was trying to get it right but simply fucked up. Republicans should not expect any network to carry water for them. Networks are supposed to cover the news.

But that would require professional integrity.
They clearly didn’t learn their lesson from 2000. Fuck them.
Same result.
Irregardless, they were right. And so were the polls.
306 EC + 4+ million in the popular vote.
OKAY!!!
Why pray tell, is *this* particular one such a shitty one? I realize news organizations have been trained by the public and their bosses’ hungry for ratings to be first rather than right, but don’t you think some restraint in reporting would better serve the voting process?
Hell, even American Idol fans had to wait until the end of the night to find out who was going home that week.
I’m curious to hear your thoughts.
I’ll take your answer off the air.
Just because people have voted doesn’t mean it has been counted. Many smaller jurisdictions take longer due to limited resources. Signatures need to be validated. These things take time and I would much rather have a delay of the results and get everything certified before we declare a winner.
That’s all I’m saying.
Are you some anti-capitalist??
The politicians themselves and the overwhelming amount of interested voters like states getting "called" except when its for the other guy. So suck it up.
I guess what I’m getting at is I don’t want elections decided by statistical projections, “pre-season” polling, and any “might as well not even play the game” mentality. LIPO, give the process time to work.
I also recognize what I’m asking for is completely unrealistic. Even if all the major networks made an agreement to hold off calling winners or making projections, there’s still social media and message boards like this one that will gladly fill the void.
THAT BEING SAID...
The press has protections provided to them in the Constitution and with those, in my mind, come responsibilities. Journalism is a vital part of protecting democracy and the integrity of information, so they should be held to a higher standard.
