MSM trash journalism: MSNBC douchebags predict NJ Senate Race with 1% in
More responsible journalism from the mainstream media, confirming McLuhan's notion that they are the news rather than reporting it. Spread the word on this particular instance of MSM trash journalism.

1. I agree. I found that impossible.
But then again, I was disgusting last year when they called the presidential election wiht 17% of virginia reporting. I was like "how the fuck do you know THAT?"

2. It is generally based on exit polling
when they call a race, not actual returns. At least that is my understanding.

5. They use exit polls and models
Even if a state counts the votes slowly the exit polls and models are there.
