Sunday, December 05, 2004NBC screwed up - surprise!In a stunning admission, an elections manager for NBC News said national news organizations overestimated President George W. Bush's support among Latino voters, downwardly revising its estimated support for President Bush to 40 percent from 44 percent among Hispanics, and increasing challenger John Kerry's support among Hispanics to 58 percent from 53 percent. The revision doubles Kerry's margin of victory among Hispanic voters from 9 to 18 percent. Ana Maria Arumi, the NBC elections manager also revised NBC's estimate for Hispanic support for Bush in Texas, revising a reported 18-point lead for Bush to a 2-point win for Kerry among Hispanics, a remarkable 20-point turnaround from figures reported on election night. Doubled Kerry's margin of victory?? What's wrong with these news organizations? They're too concerned with being the first to break with the news that they don't take the time to get all the facts before they report something. That's not news reporting, that's just a hype machine. posted by chris at 10:13 AM ------------------ |
