Media Bias, nothing better that "measurable" bias from the "networks" performance on Nov 7th: On election night: Gore won Michigan by 4 points, the same spread that Bush won Ohio thirty minutes earlier. Michigan was called @ 8 when the polls closed in the East yet still open in the West, The networks waited 1 hour 45 minutes to declare Ohio for Bush after polls had all closed. Gore won Illinois by 12 points and was announced within 1 minute of polls closing. Bush won Georgia by 12 points and the networks waited 33 minutes to declare that state for Bush. Gore won NJ by 15 points, again that was announced in 1 minute. Bush won Alabama by 15 points and the wait was 26 minutes. Gore won Delaware by 13 and was declared 3 minutes later. Bush won N.C. by 13 points and wasn't declared for 34 minutes. Gore won Minnesota by 2 points and was declared in 37 minutes. Bush won TENNESSEE by 3 points (note the significance of the state) and Bush wasn't announced for 1 hr 16 minutes. Jim
