their lose.

in the Eastern time zone on a Saturday night.

Money is all that matters to mass media and their corporate owned news and entertainment divisions, all six of them.

No media will use a Google volunteer maintained database. The HI party took forever. I wonder if they decided to recount all in Honolulu? If that was the case...they had to physically fly them from the other counties.

The media should have ...explained this though I think it would have gone a long way to explain to the public, look we have nothing official. We are waiting, with you, on the official count.

We have had a version of this happen in San Diego when the registrar stops, once for a serious glitch. We were all as frustrated as the readers.

As soon as the wins were announced they were posted here I know because I was reading the posts.

The OP seems to be making a mountain out of nothing much

From their own on Twitter.

The media did not report on this until the HI Democratic Party announced reports early East Coast time. Based on Twitter and the Google maintained database...I "called" it before going to bed. We held on the actual story until the morning though

See more details in my post below.

Two Jesus movies (Fox and CNN)
One jail show (msnbc)
Cspan had a book show

Free speech tv aired a documentary about Plutocracy


I was surprised about CNN

Cspan had some book show on.

There was literally no news on any channel but free speech tv for at least 2 hours.

Ironically, Free speech tv aired a documentary about Plutocracy through the ages during the same time.

In a country with theoretical separation of church and state.

I know why they did it. I blame the HI Democratic Party, but the media should have explained the hold up

One that was important. I get it why they could not do butkis, media should have explained why they had a hold up. And have at least a crawl explaining this.

I know people will defend stupidity. But hey, I know why there was a hold up. CNN and MSNBC and Fox depend on the AP feed, which depends on official data, which was held for hours by the Party. I wonder if they decided to count everything in Honolulu? Of course the Dem party has a machine, one that does not like outside rebellions. This could write itself.

But keep defending that stupidity in a country with supposed separation of church and state. Shit like this lays the lie to that.

happily make time for, they couldn't figure out a way to do right by a secular democracy? No, I don't buy it, this was willful.

Basically, it's a dydj (do your damn job) situation.

But, I digress. Their job is to make a profit.

(Just in case)

The easy solution was an up the top of the hour break into programming

It is not like Atlanta does not have the staff in the building, hell in the studio, for CNN-I
