Why is Faux is showing results before the polls are closed?

[tridim]

Isn't that illegal?

[KingFlorez]

1. Polls are closed in parts of Kentucky and Indiana

[gkhouston]

11. *Parts* of Kentucky. Polls are still open in the Western half of the state. Fuckers. n/t

[gkhouston]

13. And the eastern half of Kentucky is more likely to favor Paul, although it

does contain Lexington. We won't see the Louisville precincts for an hour. I think they're trying to suppress turnout there.

18. MSNBC is showing results too

which you would know if you weren't watching Faux.

[Cronus Protagonist]

2. Supresses turnout

They do it all the time when they know it will help their causes and candidates.

[edbermac]

3. No, it's not illegal.

It's FAUX.

[tritsofme]

4. Exit polls are supposed to embargoed until polls close.

They usually leak to the internet, but if Fox is pushing them already, then that is pretty shady.

[tridim]

7. They're showing actual numbers, all less than 1% reporting.

[Jakes Progress]

5. All these answers are fine, but the real reason....

They are asshats.

[GreenPartyVoter]

6. It certainly should be. Screws with voter turnout and they know it. Look at what

happened with Florida in 2000.

[DJ13]

8. I take that as a sign of desperation

[deaniac21]

9. So is the New York Times

[GrantDem]

10. Because they know that their shit is about the fan...

And this is their way of trying to affect that outcome.

[Blue Owl]

12. Par for the course

The dilapidated, 9-hole mini-golf course that is FAUX news.

[abelenkpe]

14. Because BS propaganda comes naturally

to them. They are known liars. they edit in old footage of rallies to falsify the number of people attending tea party events and lie all freaking day. They aren't called FAUX news for nothing.


Can you turn the channel? You'll give yourself heartburn watching Fox.

[tridim]

15. I have picture-in-picture (best feature ever BTW)

MSNBC on one side, the rest on the other.

[abelenkpe]

21. Oooo nice!

Carry on then. :)

[Dappleganger]

16. So their elderly audience can go to bed at 7 in a peaceful bliss.

[proud2BlibKansan]

17. So is MSNBC

[Ruby the Liberal]

19. Florida 2000 - "Bush winning/won" message told Panhandle people (Pensacola) not to bother

as most of Florida is EDT where the Panhandle is Central for poll closing. Many heard that at dinner and didn't bother to head to the polls.

They are trying to influence voters, either to go out and vote (high Dem turnout) or not bother (Republicans have sealed it).

*sigh*

[Raine]

20. MSNBC is too

KO just gave some from Kentucky. I don't like that they do that when the polls aren't even closed! :mad:
