>>No liberal bias in the media?
Just 92% voting Dem.
Brokaw spent last election night using the term "we" when referring to the Gore team "winning" states. The WSJ reported that strange lapse and Brokaw fired off an angry letter which the WSJ published, further embarrassing Brokaw.
Several papers have reported that Brokaw spent this summer pondering a run for the Dem Prez nomination in 2004.
I guess he's running.
btw, I recommend Bill Sammon's book, "AT ANY COST: How Al Gore Tried to Steal the Election." Early in the book Sammon documents how the networks, led by Brokaw at NBC, created a bandwagon effect for Gore by declaring "Gore" states in a fraction of the time that they declared Bush states with similar margins.
The book details that every study done by polling experts showed that Bush lost a minimum of 8,000 net votes by the networks' early declaration of FL - before the the panhandle closed. NBC was the first to erroneously project Gore.
Remember Dem Bob Beckel, the elector hunter? His study was the 8,000 figure. Others say 12,000.
The media bandwagon effort for Gore - and especially declaring FL and, in effect, the election for Gore - had the networks depressing GOP turnout in the rest of the nation, giving Gore his claimed 500,000 margin.
That's Tom Brokaw. No wonder Jack Welch was appalled. |
