I wonder if you are the one who posted an earlier link to wikipedia's discussion of media bias. Whoever it was, if they are involved in editing wikipedia, I have a suggestion on the list of Journalism_scandals on the site:

I notice the absence of any referece in this list to the inaccurate and premature call of Florida for Gore before the polls were closed in all of Florida during the 2000 election . . . followed the next morning by an orgy of condemnation of Fox News Channel for calling the Florida election right. With one clear exception, the delay between the closing of any state's polls and the call of that state for Bush was longer than the delay between the closing of another state's polls and the calling of that state for Gore, with Gore ultimately winning the state by a smaller margin. And the journalists themselves made a point of the fact that the calls of states for Bush were coming in slower than expected.
