Prediction and prognostication

Believ­ing in what you think and see?

The Media have a dif­fi­cult job in try­ing to fig­ure out where to assign a win or a loss in an elec­tion con­test.

Just think about it for a sec­ond.

How hard must it be to call an elec­tion for one can­di­date or anoth­er with less than 2 per­cent of the vote tab­u­lat­ed.

The real ques­tion is have they been wrong before or are they so accu­rate that the states that count the the votes in the first place are not even done releas­ing the total vote count.

The truth here is that the media are inter­est­ed in guess­ing and hedg­ing its edu­cat­ed guess­es.

Are they cor­rect or should there actu­al­ly be more con­trol over the results of an elec­tion?

Can the press be trust­ed?

The truth is seri­ous­ly flawed when the press gets into the wrong state of mind.

Be it repub­li­can or demo­c­rat can we trust the media to do the right thing?

Prob­a­bly not.

That is the sad truth about what is hap­pen­ing in our nation today.

We must sim­ply stop this kind of bad behav­ior by the press.

Now this is inter­est­ing because the press actu­al­ly did apol­o­gize and accept that they were wrong but that was a long time ago and I would chal­lenge any­one to actu­al­ly find where the press has apol­o­gized for its errors today..
