THE FIX IS IN?...Hmmmmm
The 2012 presidential election is still more than two weeks
away, but on Friday a CBS News affiliate in
Arizona called the race
for President Barack Obama.
For 17 seconds, Phoenix,
Arizona CBS News affiliate KPHO ran a lower third graphic that
showed that Obama had won the Nov. 6 election over Gov. Mitt Romney with 99% of
the precincts reporting. The lower third graphic appeared around
3:30
p.m. on Oct. 19, during an episode
of “The People’s Court.”
The CBS News graphic showed Obama winning the election with 43 percent of the vote nationwide to
Romney’s 40 percent -– or 40,237,966 votes to 38,116,216. It is unclear who
garnered the other 17 percent in the fictional election
results.
KPHO’s general manager did not return The Daily Caller’s request for
comment by time
