It Only Took 8 Years

From the Hollywood Reporter:

"There's no way to get around it," CBS News senior vp Paul Friedman said. "If one man gets 270 electoral votes before the West Coast polls are closed, we're not going to pretend (he doesn't)."

Phil Alongi, who runs special events programing at NBC News, agrees.

"If you project a state and (the candidate) reaches the electoral vote, what are you going to do? Lie?" Alongi said. "We will project a state when we're comfortable with the projection. If one of them hits the required 270, you have to report that, and you can't hold back."


Reporters, worthless swine that they are, have learned nothing from 2000. You didn't really believe them during the Gore/Bush fiasco when they said they'd change their evil ways, did you?

Funny. Back in the days when people had to wait weeks while news of votes was brought in by horseback, nobody seemed to mind. We're just so much more sophisticated now.
