Media Election Coverage
I am appalled by the media coverage of Tuesday night's election. I went to bed at 1:30 am with a bold picture of "George W. Bush - President-Elect" on my tv screen, and awoke at 6:00 am to my clock radio blaring the news that the election was far from over. Exit polls are a sorry way to predict the outcome of any election, and the media should refrain from making any predictions until the actual numbers come in. I believe the FCC should censure the networks BIG TIME!
They either need to rewrite their projection formulas or throw them out. The polls have shown throughout the campaign that it would be close. They should have been more prepared for this to happen.
